Thank you for such a clear and thorough video explaining all this. You’re helping a lot of people 👍
THIS was the Best clear truthful explanation I've seen thus far!!
awesome video. The best explanation of the procedure i've seen.
Super informative! :) I was actually curious about this haha
Thank you for such in depth information. It sucks that it doesn't last longer, but I will still take a procedure like this any day if it gives me back my confidence
Great video- very informative!
Very nice advice doc
excellent video
damn...Dr Yoo still so fine hahaha
Very nice Dr.
This is the most informed video with the most details I have found. I've had it done 16 days ago and still waiting for results. My left masseter muscle was much larger. Can't wait to see results. Unfortunately it is a slow process.
Did you see results ?
have u seen results?
have u seen the result?
Results??? Nd how many session one needs
Results??? Nd how many session one needs
Got 30 units per side in mid January. 6-week follow up by end of February. Nurse practitioner at the plastic surgeon's clinic wants to wait and to see me again in May. She said it's better to wait than to inject more Botox at the 6-week mark.
Em Ar how much was the cost??
Thankyou Doc, very informative. Will see you soon for the procedure. Do you do a brow lift with fillers?
Hi Jbugsee Wynn
I prefer to use Botox to lift the brows when considering nonsurgical options.
Warm regards
I’m so excited because I got this done two days ago and it honestly just felt like a couple pinches as the injections were going in. I’m now waiting for the results to start showing😄
Kelly Hernandez good to see this comment . I’m going soon .
Hi, can we get an update?
Hey, how did that work out for you? I'm planning to get this procedure done.
Update? 😊 x
How many times did you do it
I really need this for my teeth grinding! Anyone you recommend in the bay area? thx
Sure, a $60 flight to LAX and a $30 Lyft ride to Beverly Hills to Dr. Yoo's office should do the trick 🤣
I went to a MedSpa today and they recommended this, I didn't realize I could slim my big boxy jaws... I asked to do a little research before getting it done, thanks for your insight, I think I'll move forward!
Does this cause bone thinning?
@@Angelica-vu3nk No, it made my jaw feel more relaxed than it ever has. Once the Botox wore off, I couldn't wait to go get more.
R u satisfied with the result plz?
@@jelljell7871 Yes, it works. In fact, my last refill is wearing off again and my jaw is already tightening, I'm going to get another refill soon.
@@GoldenWave glad to hear that, so I will give it a trial. Thanks a lot for your response 🌷
I’ve had it done 6 months ago and due to masseter atrophy I now have cheek hollowness and sagging skin. Many studies support these negative side effects. Please speak about them.
Wow is it permanent??
i have the same.. did it go back to normal? do you have any tips for me? i’m stressed
Unfortunately not yet. So stressful. I do see some very slow gradual improvement and am trying not to stress about it. I read that it can take up to 1.5 years to return to normal.
I feel so sorry for you. How many units did you had?
@@s.h.7463 How many units per side did you get?? This happened fromm only 1 time?!
I love your face, dr. Yoo ! It s so smooth and fine... And you are loooking alike with an actor from k drama series ! 😙😘😚💛💜💟👍👍👌
Dr Yoo Any information on dysport injection to salivary glands to slim face?Thanks
Thank you doctor thank you doctor thank you so much beautiful
Hi doc! Is it usual to swell for the first few days post injection?
Hi Dr Yoo,
My dermatologist doctor is board certified in surgical dermatology and is a fellow for cosmetic surgery. Is it okay that she’s not a board certified plastic surgeon? I have severe bruixism but I don’t want to screw up my face.
Thanks!
I got this done on Friday not for esthetics but for my tmj. Can’t wait for it to kick in so I can get some sleep!!
50 units total $600 dollars
I also got 50 u it’s today did u notice a slimming effect?
I can’t think Of a username I definitely did I had noticeable slimming within two weeks. I did not like the results tho I ended up looking jowly. I like my usual defined jaw it was weird not looking like myself. If you have a promo are jawline it will definitely help and will be noticeable. As for the Tmj it worked after a couple weeks I didn’t grind for about two months, lots of drooling lol but by 3months I was back to normal grinding. Will not get again as I don’t feel like it’s worth the cost. Being in braces I can’t wear a guard but only a couple more months left so I’ll deal with grinding til then!
@@Fresh.Peches did your face go back to normal after having this done? Or did the “jowly” look stay?
@@angelenergia2163 it went back to normal
Thank you. Where are you located?
Hey doctor yoo. I would love to do my nose surgery with you. How much does it cost? I have no bridge and the tip is round.
I just got botox for my TMJ, and it never went through my mind the aesthetical effects, not complain at all. But, after these four months, will I need another application to keep the results? Thank you for sharing.
Do we need get it in temporalis muscle also?
What is the usual first time dosage? Will I eventually need less the more I get it done? (like forehead Botox)
Hi Dr. Yoo, I had my masseter muscle injected with Botox 4 weeks ago. I notice that I still clench but now I feel it at the top of the massater muscle area by my ear tragus. Lots of pressure there and on my cheek bones. Would you recommend additional Botox in that area? Thank you!! Love your video.
Did it end up just taking some time for the top to relax? Like did it end up relaxing after it got used to the lower part being relaxed? That would have been my guess lol
U have dimples in both sides those it fade or no?
Hi Dr, , I was just wondering are all Botox can work for the jawlines? Thank you !
why do some doctors use a 3 point technique or why do some doctors use a 2 point technique?? what is the difference between those two? can you make a video on that
Thank you for this doc!!!! You look like a Kdrama star btw
Can we get if we gots ibs or any autoimmune conditions?
I have pain in my cheekbone from TMJ, would u put Botox in the cheekbone or near that area ? And if yes, how would that change your face ? Thank u (:
So what is d permanent procedure to overcome for masseter hepertropyy..
Hello Dr. Yoo...what are your schedule here in Las Vegas...? Thanks so much for the info..
Hi Marikoh Honda
I am occasionally in Vegas for plastic surgery meetings, but only see patients in my office in Beverly Hills. LA is a great place to escape the Vegas heat.
Warm regards
Hello Dr.Yoo, I just came across of your formative video about the masseter Botox, and it’s so helpful! Thks for letting us know thoses littles important details! :) Also, about this type of Botox, I would like to have your opinion .. hm do you think is a good idea to inject one side 15 units and the other side 25 units... is this big difference of units could it be a bad suggestion/idea? I actually have a side bigger than the other that’s why I suspect the TMJ on the bigger side is have a stronger presence of a sharp pain around my ear/jaw area, so I wondered if it’s better to inject this difference of units or is it better to untouched one side ( only to inject Botox on one side) ? Thank you for your time Dr.yoo, looking forward to hearing from you :) !
Soooo charming and good looking..,😘😍😍
I am getting this injection soon to help with my chronic migraines. Will the changes to my face also happen? Is there a difference between cosmetic and medical
Botox?
I got 40 units today. I don't know how many on each side but she said one side had a little less than the other so I guess close to 20 side each.
Everyone I've read about or talked to said they started with around 15 on each side. Did I get too many? It makes me nervous for sure. I don't want a bunch of slimming that lasts long
I had this done for teeth grinding and would never do it again. My face dropped and looked gaunt and had jowling not to mention the discomfort and pain from my jaw literally hanging open the hole time. It changes the way my face looked and I hate it. Luckily after more than 6 months the Botox has worn off and my masseters are back to working again. They are quite small but the fact that they’re working again and “flexed” has helped rectify a lot of the jowling and I feel like I have a jawline again.
How many units did you have injected?
@@Liliarthan only 10 units per side 😕
PLS REPLY!~ were yours very large/square before with big muscles? I*m getting 25 to 30 per side in 2 days.. mine are sooo big compared to 3 years ago and im the same weight so its the muscle and pain all the time from clenching even w night gaurd for grinding
Hi dr. Yoo , I had this done for clenching and severe pain in ear and jaw. This last time, I am feeling like stuffy ears and less hearing, do you think that the botox toxin, made me deaf. I read horrible stories on realself about people having muffled hearing after botox. I have anxiety and I have TMJ disorder for which I use this for. Do you think that the doctor caused permanent damage in my hearing.thanks in advance.
What is the average amount injected in each side for good face slimming effects
What it’s my jawline it’s almost like angelina jolie shape ? It will make any difference?
So this would mean that for those with TMJ, they'll have to follow the dentist's treatment or anything? I was told to wear retainers and mouth guard at the same time for 10 hours each day (after finishing a year of braces) but my gums would bleed (probably because of the vacuum whenever I sleep), and it's just kinda painful. it's been eight years and the longest period I've worn my mouthpiece and retainers is a week straight. Other than that it's just my retainers which eventually get loose after sometime. Welp, gotta earn money and just go through an orthognathic surgery :(
I want to get this done. My teeth are so short now from life long sleep grinding :(
Hi Christina Gurrola
Botox for masseter reduction is an effective way to reduce the intensity and severity of bruxism and teeth grinding.
Warm regards
Dose it still work even in jaw bone stick out more one side side can it go by itself ?
Hi Dr. Yoo! Do you perform Masseter reduction surgery? Or what’s a permanent treatment for enlarged masseter muscles?
I’m 20 but I don’t have TMJ or teeth grinding problems or anything like that. But I think my face looks rounder and chubbier than it should because of my jaw, and I’ve been wanting a nice defined v-shape for a while now. Will this help with that?
Aestaetic Edits Yes. But it’s best to see a professional because you might think you need jaw fillers or Botox but they might actually pin point another area to inject to get your desired look
Ccc L You have a point. Thanks for response!
can i lose that muscle just by using only the other one???
Doc would you recommend this over buccal fat reduction?? Or a combination of both? I heard buccal fat reduction would make you look older in the future
Hi wirelesschick123
Buccal fat reduction and Botox for masseter reduction actually target different areas of the face. A facial plastic surgeon could make the appropriate recommendation based on your facial anatomy. Buccal fat reduction is not indicated in patients with very thin faces, and those patients who will likely develop thin faces with aging.
Warm regards
@@DrDonYoo does this treatment cause sagging I’m 23 and I’m hesitant
Hi dr yoo I got masseter Botox but I can’t smile now my smile is really ugly . Is there anything I can do .
does anyone know if you are still able to get masseter botox if you have braces?
Omg, 😍 so cute!!
Do you inject the same amount on both sides,even if one side is bigger and stronger than the other?
I was curious about that too, bc mine is uneven. I was assume so because you are just trying to mildly paralyze the muscles. So eventually, I think they would even out. I already get botox for migraines, but have tmd too. I hope insurance would help cover this.
I just had mine done, my doc added more botox to my right side since I feel more pressure and pain on that side.
How long would it last?
Overtime, does masseter botox have a side effect of bone degeneration? Making u look older? It is a serious drawback that we ignore. Correct me if I am wrong.
What is the cost
Gostei. O medico vem junto? Kkk...
Does this cause bone thinning?
If u want to reduce masseter muscle and don't wanna take a risk. You could do it yourself like stop eating hard foods cut done on things like peanuts or anything that kinda have a crunch to it. Try doing more liquid foods you can also take this opportunity to go on a diet. It will take at least 3-6weeks depending on your body health to really see any decrease NATURALLY. Much effective and safer for a long term result. Every muscle atrophy if you don't use them enough so gl.
Does it possible to reduce it by facial exercises
Cool
Just for caution, I have seen a previous TH-cam video of someone who got the injections three times every three months but the Botox stayed in her face longer than expected resulting in her losing almost all muscle in her jaw and hollowing out her cheeks to the point where her skin did sag and they had to get additional treatments. So skin sagging can occur
What the heck
But 3 times every month is big
Doesn’t sound very professional that this person was getting this done excessively. Three times every three months and they thought nothing would happen to their face ?
Yah it happened to me. The sagging skin is real.
I don’t know why doctors keep saying there won’t be any sagging, where else is the skin that’s no longer supported by muscle supposed to go?
Is it expensive???
Can I repeat this injection after 4wks
Recommendations for brands? Thanks ✌️
Is the asymmetry permanent???
Does it reduce chubby cheeks? I don’t have a square jaw I have more of a round face due to my fuller cheeks, I’ve been recommended this procedure but I only want to try it if it might reduce my cheek size
You need buccal fat removal then
It totally changed my life
I look like a model now lmao
Will exerybody see results from this?
Dear Dr. Yoo, I have a question on this. I am singer, and when singing, it is very important for me to be able to open my jaw a lot, as much as possible. Would these injections reduce the extent to which I can drop down my jaw? Thanks a lot, have a nice day
Hey I’m not a doctor or anything but I am a singer and got this done, I haven’t noticed anything in singing! The most positive is my tmj isn’t reduced a lot! Hope this helps
So sad to hear that its not a permanent...Anyway getting it done next week friday.. :(
How was the results?
@@jelljell7871 she never responded. She probably didn't get it
can you also target the pterygoid muscle, will it make your face appear narrower?
This video has great information about jawbone reduction surgery. check out the below video to learn more. Hope it will help 😃 👍 👍

Dr donald, does botox can be use to reduce bulbous tip nose? To make it refine? I dont want to go under knife.
Thanks
Hi hoalinae
Botox can reduce the size of the pores and reduce sweat production of the nasal tip skin, but it will not significantly refine a bulbous nose. Unfortunately the only safe, permanent way to achieve this is with surgery.
Warm regards
Commenting because I just got this done today and if anyone would like an update from me, feel free to comment! Reasonably give me 2-3 weeks to actually see a difference! I just want to serve as a help to anyone that wants information 🤍
How did you like it? I want to get it but I’m scared of side effects such as jowls
@@Cathhhhhh____35897 I loved it. Besides aesthetics, my TMJ was bad. My jaw sounded like a door hinge at times which made me cringe LMFAO. That helped a lot. Less tension in my jaw. Now for my cosmetic review of it, yes, it beautifully slimmed down my jawline and it was nice. Only did it once though. I know you’re particularly concerned of jowls. I don’t want my review to deceive you or anything so I just want to put out there that I’m young. Not sure how old you are but in case you’re older, I’m sure there are reviews of older women and their experiences on here too
@@chizobaikejiaku1023 I’m only 24 haha, my jaw is clenched like 24/7 from stress & anxiety that my face has gotten so full I don’t recognize myself anymore and I’m rly skinny already so I can’t lose any weight so I was hoping this would help but I’d heard it makes your skin fall over like you have jowls, hopefully if I get the clenching under control I’m not left with permanent jowls at 23 😂
Dr say it safe but can you die or get sick from botox. I alway get rare conditions I'm so afraid but my masseter are so huge now
I have got a huge asymmetry on my face and I applied Botox to diminish the size of my left side face masseter and stop having two faces. It has been working and now I don't need to talk with ppl sideways lol...
Is there a risk of hitting the facial nerve when getting this done?
Same question
Love 💕 you
And if the problem is with my jaw bone? How i could correct that?
Hi P A V L O
Some surgeons will perform more aggressive surgery that involves removing segments of bone to create a more tapered jawline. As with any surgery, it's important to do your research to find someone who is both experienced and achieves excellent results with the procedure.
Warm regards
Thank Dr. Yoo! Approximately , how many units do you need for this procedure ?
ariannanunez good question
It’s dependent on the patient. They would tell you at a consultation how many units they feel you would personally need.
I'm getting this done tomorrow as my first ever cosmetic procedure eeek!
How was your experience?
It went really well! Very quick and painless :) it has slightly slimmed my jaw too :)
do you see a major difference and are u happier??? i’m thinking of doing this
NJOONFAIRY it hasn’t made a massive physical difference, but my face is smaller for sure. Not sure it’s worth the five hundred it costs in Australia though
How long do results last?
How many units will I need for both sides?
After how much time I can repeat the botox injection
Every 3 months
Can this procedure be medically covered if I have TMJ?
Great question
Lost Yes, if it’s diagnosed it can be covered by insurance.
Is this a good treatment for older women?
No it made my skin sag. Im 40 and it's only been a month and a half. I hope it wears off
can afford it😢😢😢
Hi, I am 40 and my derm talked me into getting 22 units of botox each side of my masseters in April. Unfortunately now my skin is sagging and I have jowls and look so old. When will my masseters grow back and hold everything up again? Thanks for any info
Hi Lisa, the effects of Botox are temporary and your masseter will begin regaining its strength in 3-4 months. Once it regains it strength and you begin using it while chewing the muscle should regain its pre-treatment size in about 6 months.
I have a quiite heavy jaw how much unit should I take
How much does one session cost?
Elliot Nicole Depends on how many units of Botox you get. It’s different for everybody.
I have had this 3 weeks ago and my smile is changed at the corners I have had no call backs from the clinic when asking for some reassurance this clinic was highly recommended am very disappointed. Always do your research xx
My experience was in England not this guys clinic just to be clear :)
Where in England did you have this procedure done as i live in the uk and had this done today
Did your smile return to normal?
@@nonocap1643 in the southeast xx
@@charmander1370 yes after a number of weeks it straightened the clinic contacted me eventually and said it will not affect your smile I said well it has my family can see etc etc. It gets better and now it’s worn off not sure I’d have that again
I have been getting this due to my teeth grinding. It has been so helpful as well as making my facial jaw smaller which I love. However, I’m interested to find out if there’s a procedure that’s permanent versus having repeated Botox. What’s the risk and healing process, etc...? I love to get more detail if there’s such a procedure more permanent. Thank you.
How many units did you start off with?
@@kmedado I believe 15 to on each side. I think one time I went so long with the shots - 30 each side.
@@LadyK.. I had a consultation today and the nurse recommended 12 units each side for starters.. i am debating now since I saw this video :(
@@kmedado that sound like a good start. I do like it bc not only it helps with the migraines but gives me a V shape. It just gets expensive after a while. I get it twice a year. Doesn’t hurt to try.
@@LadyK.. thanks for replying!! I’m nervous about the whole saggy skin that everyone has mentioned
Why doesn't insurance cover this treatment?
It's basically cosmetic. Nothing cosmetic is covered by insurance.
He cute
Interesting but please without music
Is it possible to have paradoxical masseteric bulging couple years after jaw botox? It sounds ridiculous but that's what happened to me and because of that, I got 20 units each on my both jaws a few days ago. If my bulging doesn't disappear is that a sign that dosage wasn't enough?
Kate Pierce how did it turnout
How did it turn out?
?
if its temporary then i'm never gonna done this in my entire life ..
Cutie 😻
Do u do the actual v-line bone reduction surgery? Or do we have to go to Korea for that?
Hi mcca59
I personally do not perform bone reduction surgery, but there are some very good surgeons in the states who do routinely perform it.
Warm regards
you're so awesome!
Dr. Donald B. Yoo please help I'm 15 male I was wondering if I get it 4 to 5 times will it get alot smaller even when I stop using botox
Doesn't the masseter muscles shrink during the time it's "relaxed" by the botox at all?
Depends on your genetics, if your masseter muscle has been wide since birth you would have to go back a lot but if you just got it from grinding then the botox will make it smaller but to keep it that way you have to stop your habits of grinding
@@Dylan-pp8wu do u know how to tell if it’s enlarged from grinding? I do catch myself grinding my teeth sometimes but I also have always kind of had far in the area when I was younger and have had anxiety that causes the teeth grinding for years so I don’t know how I would tell which it’s from
