Dr. David Yew and Aesthetics Hawaii are the recognized experts in treating patients with enlarged masseter muscles which produce a “square” or broad jawline appearance. These muscles can easily be felt on the sides of the jaw when you bite down. By placing Botox® in the masseter muscle – it results in masseter size reduction thus producing a “V line” appearance. In addition to the cosmetic enhancement, patients with bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ syndrome have all reported significant improvement thus adding a functional benefit to their health. The treatment is very effective and results last up to 6 months. We use all four FDA approved types of botulinum toxin (Botox®, Dysport™, Xeomin, Jeuveau).
Dr David Yew is one of the foremost experts in the U.S. and Asia for treating TMJ (temporomandibular) disorder with Botox. Over 12 years ago – Dr Yew suffered from severe TMJ headaches with grinding (bruxism) and clenching that caused intractable pain and severe tooth erosion and damage. Out of necessity – he researched the leading TMD experts and developed a unique protocol using botox to help patients with similar symptoms. Using botox – Dr Yew has helped patients from all over the world become headache free and protect their teeth. Patients from the mainland US and international countries (Korea, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, China, Dubai) fly in to Honolulu to receive treatments with great success.
After extensive research with the world’s leading TMJ specialists – Dr Yew uses advanced techniques to safely inject Botox to relieve clenching in the masseter muscles while reducing tension headaches in the temporalis muscles and forehead (glabellar and frontalis muscles) Effects are usually seen within 1-2 weeks and last up to 6 months. With repeated treatments – the amount of botox is gradually decreased and the duration of treatments gets longer because of the reduction in the size of the muscles. Treatments are affordable and range between $500-$800 per session.
Dr. Yew has been featured in the Hawaii Dental Association journal as the Botox® expert for dental related conditions.
