First, while it is technically possible to atrophy the buccinators with botulinum toxin, it’s not something most clinics offer and for good reason. If your buccinators are already a normal size (which yours appear to be), this won’t make your face look any slimmer.

Secondly, you can hypertrophy the masseters by chewing very hard gum, like in this video:





That said, I wouldn’t recommend doing this at all. For one, it’s not really addressing the actual issue. What you’re lacking is lateral gonial bone projection, and increasing muscle size won’t fix that, muscle simply doesn’t behave like bone.


Also, depending on your anatomy (which is hard to assess without very low body fat), if you have high masseter insertions, hypertrophying them could actually make things look worse. On top of that, those kinds of chewing exercises can easily lead to TMJ disorders, which are genuinely unpleasant to deal with. A more appropriate and long-term solution would be something like gonial implants.


I’m assuming your goal is a more defined ogee curve and hollow cheeks, but the approach you’re taking won’t get you there. Hollow cheeks are mainly the result of strong lateral zygomatic projection and frontal bone prominence. The shape of the gonion also plays a role, more flared gonions and a wider bigonial width can stretch the lower face and contribute to that look.


There are quite a few factors involved overall: bigonial width and gonial flare, bizygomatic width and zygomatic prominence, chin width, buccal fat pads, the parotid gland, the canine fossa, as well as general factors like bloating and hormonal balance.

Chew your food hard and chew a shit ton of gum (preferably with premolars). Swallow with tongue and not with anytjing else
