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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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
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
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 ?
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.
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
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
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.
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 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
Great question, and you can actually eat whatever you like. Botox for masseter reduction will work the same regardless of your diet. The main thing is to avoid foods/medications that thin your blood prior to the treatment, as this can increase the risk of bruising. After the treatment, feel free to resume your regular diet.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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!
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
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.

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
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 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
This video has great information about jawbone reduction surgery. check out the below video to learn more. Hope it will help 😃 👍 👍 th-cam.com/video/y-Ql6X_Ubkg/w-d-xo.html
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...
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.
@@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.
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
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 :(
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 🤍
@@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 😂
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

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
Depending on the anatomy of your jawline, it could be sharpened by changing the bony contour with jawline augmentation, or the excess fat could be removed to create a sharper neckline/jawline.
Hi Y R Pricing will vary based upon the number of units needs to achieve relaxation of your masseter muscle. Feel free to contact my office at: info@donyoomd.com for more information. Warm regards
nikki townes The temporalis muscle is located right above your ears. It’s a fan shaped muscle that is one of the 4 muscles of mastication. Unless you have TMJ disorder from chronic bruxism then I would understand but I would love to learn the role of the temporalis in this v line contouring. Great question. Hopefully we hear back from Dr. Yoo.
@@HD-ei2sv I have enlarged masseters due to clentching n I went to dentist n they did exam n wanted to give me 120units 25 each masseters n rest in my temporalis. They said temporalis n masseters are connected n in order to do it right medically I guess is to do temporalis also.
Babymamaz I haven’t learned much about Botox in the temporalis muscle so I can’t give you advice on that. The temporalis and the masseter does work in conjunction during chewing so when you chew, you’re going to feel it moving! Maybe ask your dentist if there are any other options as far as treatment. They already did your masseter so it should help a little (from my understanding). However, I am only a dental student so it is best to get a real dentist’s opinion (: I hope you feel better! I know TMJ pain can be extremely uncomfortable.
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 :) !
@@amir123786 I recommend chewing gum to actually strengthen the muscles. I wouldn't let Botox within a mile of my jaw. This is a sensitive muscle that needs to be augmented not attacked with poison. NM

Hi julie ann Esti & MUA The most common starting dosage used during Botox for masseter reduction is 25 units per side, for a total of 50 units of Botox. Warm regards
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?
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
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.

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 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
After how much time I can repeat the botox injection
Every 3 months
Can we get if we gots ibs or any autoimmune conditions?
Hi dr yoo I got masseter Botox but I can’t smile now my smile is really ugly . Is there anything I can do .
can you also target the pterygoid muscle, will it make your face appear narrower?

Hi doc! Is it usual to swell for the first few days post injection?
Will exerybody see results from this?
I love your face, dr. Yoo ! It s so smooth and fine... And you are loooking alike with an actor from k drama series ! 😙😘😚💛💜💟👍👍👌
it only lasts 4/6 months ?? so you would have to go back twice a year for life ?
Evo you need to watch the entire video sweetie xo
socialdangxiety 3/4 months! So not even that - and minus the month it takes to take effect damnn
What is the cost
Why doesn't insurance cover this treatment?
It's basically cosmetic. Nothing cosmetic is covered by insurance.
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.
How long would it last?
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...
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
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
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 :(
can i lose that muscle just by using only the other one???
Does this cause bone thinning?
Very nice Dr.
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 😂
Thank you for this doc!!!! You look like a Kdrama star btw
excellent video
How much does one session cost?
Elliot Nicole Depends on how many units of Botox you get. It’s different for everybody.
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 we injected just one side ?
Yes, it can be injected just on one side or the dosage adjusted to account for asymmetries between sides.
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
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
How to live to 100 years old --- stop eating American and Anglo cusine !
-All meat and dairy in North America is contaminated with "" prions "" ---> , Virus , bacteria , yeast , fungus , hormones .
Blood in the in the blood banks are also contaminated with "prions" avoid blood transfusions if you can ! .
Google ---- >""PRIONS and Alzheimer's disease"
The " sewage sludge " and wastewater released into the farms and agriculture land are spreading brain disease far and wide every day.
DR . Claudio Soto, PhD, professor of neurology at the "University of Texas" Medical School in Houston, and his colleagues confirmed the presence of prions in urine.
Soto also confirmed that plants uptake prions and are infectious and deadly to those who consume the infected plants. Therefore, humans, wildlife and livestock are vulnerable to prion disease via plants grown on land treated with sewage sludge and reclaimed sewage water.
"Prion" and Virus researcher "Dr. Joel Pedersen ", from the University of Wisconsin, found that prions become 680 times more infectious in certain soils. Pedersen also found that sewage treatment does not inactivate prions. Therefore, prions are lethal, mutating, migrating and multiplying everywhere sewage is dumped.
“Our results suggest that if prions enter municipal wastewater treatment systems, most of the agent would bond to sewage sludge, survive anaerobic digestion, and be present in treated biosolids,” Pedersen said.

Most commercial meat and dairy is contaminated with prions and Virus ..prions cannot be killed by heat or by cooking .
" prions "go dormant in the body same as a virus ...when the wake up they damage your brain cells and and they damage the nerves in the brain cause many diseases such as Parkinson, Alzheimer disease and cancer .
----------A prion is a type of protein that can trigger normal proteins in the brain to fold abnormally. Prion diseases can affect both humans and animals and are sometimes spread to humans by infected meat products. The most common form of prion disease that affects humans is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
The best is you eat a plant-base diet.Indian has the lowest Alzheimers disease in the world ---> ( they eat a plant-base diet)
...keep your blood sugar below 85 , intermittent fasting and become a Vegan eat a plant base diet and eat organic ! control your stress . Don't dig your grave with your teeth ....watch what you eat and drink .
If you have parasites or Epstein-barr virus -- take " cats-claw" herb 3.000 mg. 2x a day from South America
Cats claw herb can cross the brain barrier and kill fungus and bacteria in the brain .
The hospitals and big pharma will make you bankrupt and kill you at the end .

-My Dad was a physician. After a long, successful career, he decided to semi-retire and took a 6 figure job with Big Pharma company (I hesitate to mention the name).
He traveled around the country speaking to audiences to promote the companies drug line. Being a good doctor, he also interjected what he knew through his own observations. He wondered why birds and turtles lived for many years longer than most humans.
The conclusion was that they ate fruit, vegetables, nuts (seeds), and grains. When he started to speak about how eating healthier can, potentially, fend off the need for medicine - he was fired by this company. It was a real eye-opener for him as to the underhandedness of Big Pharma. They do not want doctors telling people how to avoid the need for drugs for as long as possible. Truth.

Is it expensive???
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
Is there any permanent solution to get sharp jawline??
Pls so reply
Depending on the anatomy of your jawline, it could be sharpened by changing the bony contour with jawline augmentation, or the excess fat could be removed to create a sharper neckline/jawline.
How much does it cost?
Hi Y R
Pricing will vary based upon the number of units needs to achieve relaxation of your masseter muscle. Feel free to contact my office at: info@donyoomd.com for more information.
Warm regards
How much cost per unit?
Y do dentist say I need do temporalis muscle too or it wont work?
nikki townes The temporalis muscle is located right above your ears. It’s a fan shaped muscle that is one of the 4 muscles of mastication. Unless you have TMJ disorder from chronic bruxism then I would understand but I would love to learn the role of the temporalis in this v line contouring. Great question. Hopefully we hear back from Dr. Yoo.
@@HD-ei2sv I have enlarged masseters due to clentching n I went to dentist n they did exam n wanted to give me 120units 25 each masseters n rest in my temporalis. They said temporalis n masseters are connected n in order to do it right medically I guess is to do temporalis also.
@@HD-ei2sv but I dont want to do my temporalis I think 120 units is to much.
@@HD-ei2sv tho after my visit I did notice my temporalis moving hard when I chew🤔
Babymamaz I haven’t learned much about Botox in the temporalis muscle so I can’t give you advice on that. The temporalis and the masseter does work in conjunction during chewing so when you chew, you’re going to feel it moving! Maybe ask your dentist if there are any other options as far as treatment. They already did your masseter so it should help a little (from my understanding). However, I am only a dental student so it is best to get a real dentist’s opinion (: I hope you feel better! I know TMJ pain can be extremely uncomfortable.
Interesting but please without music
Recommendations for brands? Thanks ✌️
Can I repeat this injection after 4wks
Is the asymmetry permanent???
Can I have botox to reduce the size of my calves?
Just give me some calf meat lol
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 need this for my teeth grinding but will I have to do it for life?
Ami Khan yup
@@amir123786 I recommend chewing gum to actually strengthen the muscles.
I wouldn't let Botox within a mile of my jaw. This is a sensitive muscle that needs to be augmented not attacked with poison. NM
@@superburstmega721 Would strengthening that muscle make it larger?
@@charmander1370 yes my jawline has definitely expanded
Anyways the key issue is that we need a strong jaw. My breathing and chewing have improved
How many units will I need for both sides?
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
if its temporary then i'm never gonna done this in my entire life ..
I just got 50 units per side for $700
about how many units do you recommend starting with per side?
Hi julie ann Esti & MUA
The most common starting dosage used during Botox for masseter reduction is 25 units per side, for a total of 50 units of Botox.
Warm regards
Thats a lot I wish they just did 10 per side my face became tiny in 1 week
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?
?
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?
