Masseter Botox in DR. BİRKAN DURAS CLINIC
About the clinic
Masseter Botox at Dr. Birkan Duras Clinic in Istanbul helps slim the jawline and treat teeth grinding. This minimally invasive treatment offers a way to achieve a V-shaped face without surgery. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish Ministry of Health, signifying its adherence to high safety standards.
How Masseter Botox Works
Dr. Birkan Duras performs this procedure by injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter muscle. This muscle is located at the back of the jaw and is responsible for chewing. The doctor places two injections on each side at the most prominent points of the muscle. This process reduces muscle activity, which slims the lower face over time. It also helps patients who suffer from bruxism or jaw tension by relaxing the area.
The effects of the injection start to appear within 12 to 72 hours. Patients usually see the full results about two weeks after the treatment. The results typically last between four and six months. Dr. Birkan Duras recommends regular sessions to maintain the aesthetic and functional benefits.

Dr. Birkan Duras leads the clinic as an aesthetic and prosthetic dentist. He earned his doctorate in Prosthetic Dentistry from Istanbul University. Dr. Birkan Duras is an active member of the Aesthetic Dentistry Academy Association and the Turkish Dental Association.

Recovery and Aftercare
This treatment requires no downtime, so patients can return to their daily routines immediately. However, following specific aftercare rules is important for the best outcome. The clinic advises against the following for a set period:
- Avoid rubbing the injection sites for two weeks.
- Do not use saunas, Turkish baths, or go into direct sun for eight hours.
- Skip exercise and alcohol on the day of the procedure.
- Wait until the next day to shower or apply makeup.
- Avoid facial massages for at least 14 days.
Suitability and Clinic Features
This procedure is ideal for individuals with a square jaw appearance or those who grind their teeth. It is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. People with neurological disorders or allergies to botulinum toxin should also avoid this treatment.
Located in the Nişantaşı district of Istanbul, the clinic provides VIP services for international guests. A multilingual team supports patients in English, Russian, Arabic, and German. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss your needs with Dr. Birkan Duras.

DR. BİRKAN DURAS CLINIC: more details about the clinic
Dr. Birkan Duras Clinic is a private dental practice in Istanbul's Nişantaşı neighborhood. The facility focuses on aesthetic and prosthetic dentistry. Dr. Birkan Duras leads the team with specialized training in prosthodontics and smile design.
Accreditations and Professional Standings
The clinic holds the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish Ministry of Health (ST-6397). Dr. Birkan Duras maintains active memberships in several professional organizations:
- Aesthetic Dentistry Academy Association (EDAD)
- Turkish Prosthodontics and Implantology Association (TPİD)
- Turkish Dental Association (TBD)
Dr. Duras earned his doctorate in Prosthetic Dentistry, researching color changes in glass ceramic materials. He continues scientific studies at Istanbul University to refine clinical protocols.
Aesthetic and Prosthetic Dentistry
The clinic specializes in Smile Design with techniques that preserve natural tooth structure. A signature approach is no-prep veneers, which require no tooth shaving. These ultra-thin E-max veneers are about 0.3 mm thick, so aesthetic changes need no invasive preparation.
The dental team provides a variety of restorative options:
- Laminate veneers and natural laminate veneers
- Zirconia veneers for high-strength restorations
- Composite bonding applications
- Invisalign treatment using digitally planned, transparent aligners
- Teeth whitening procedures
For patients needing full-arch restoration, the clinic offers implant-supported prosthetics. All-on-4 and All-on-6 concepts replace entire rows of teeth using a fixed bridge attached to dental implants.
Advanced Gum Treatments
The practice integrates "pink aesthetics" so the gum line complements dental restorations. Specialists use laser gum treatment for contouring and lifting gingival tissue. This approach is often painless and frequently performed without anesthesia.
Laser technology also treats periodontal infections and deep pockets. The laser targets inflamed areas to disinfect tissue and speed healing compared to traditional surgery. Most patients return to daily routines the same day. Full recovery takes just a few days.
Pediatric Dental Care
The clinic offers pedodontics for children aged 0 to 13 years. This service protects both milk teeth and permanent teeth from early decay or hereditary issues. Specialists manage problems from caries and trauma to ensure healthy dental development.
International Patient Support
The clinic has a dedicated service flow for overseas visitors. A team of six doctors offers consultations in English, Russian, Arabic, and German. Available amenities include:
- Free online consultations for initial treatment planning
- VIP services for logistical support
- Digital appointment scheduling
Patients receive visual explanations of procedures before arrival to understand the expected timeline. The clinic uses digital planning tools for Invisalign and smile design, ensuring accuracy for patients traveling from abroad.
