this was a game changer for me. Better sleep, no more pain in the morning from clenching all night and a much prettier face.
🙌 That’s awesome I’m glad it helped with your clenching and enhanced your facial shape. Thanks for sharing your story
I know Botox is not permanent, but did it help you get rid of the habit of teeth grinding? Did you get to a point where you no longer need injections? Did it make your skin loose?
How long did it last?
@@CamilaSaurus 3-4 months
@@sonjalalelu3667 Thank you!
Hyoyeon Jung has a very balanced face. Her feminine features balances her masculine feature
Yes she is beautiful
Wow this is amazing! As a hairdresser this blows my mind; since so much of what we do has to do with one’s face shape.
I may be the minority, but I love how a wide face with a strong jaw looks on a woman. Botox is one thing, but I find it such a shame when people cut their jaw down, like K-pop stars. Balance is key, though, in relation to cheekbones, etc.
Very true balance of the jawline and cheekbones is very important.
@Acid King I don’t think that was their intention
@Acid King there is something wrong with normalizing the change of features on a big scale. If it makes you much happier and you thought about it for a long long time then sure, but it's deeper than that in society (especially in Korean society where the V shape is sought after, and not necessarily common naturally.)
Olivia Kulpo looked more attractive with square face shape
I agree, actually i think it looks better on women, not a super wide face but a strong jaw, yes. I had the same impression that many looked better before treatment but in severe cases (Bethany Frankle, Minnie Driver and the actual patient in the video) it is definitely a life changer. Some people spend decades of their lives thinking that's their real jawline while it's actually hypertrophy due to stress and such, I've seen many, both men and women.
This is the video I've been searching for
🙌 glad you found it!! 🤗
This is a most informative video rich with illustrations and beautifully done! I learnt a ton and appreciate Emily for providing a master class in human beauty and it’s enhancement!
Thank you Dr. Whitaker. Thanks for your feedback. I’m so glad you enjoyed!
Perfect timing! I’ve been doing a lot of research on this treatment as I really grind my teeth and it’s caused my muscles to really grow, changing and broadening the shape of my face.
Thank you!
So glad you found it helpful Deardra. I’m guessing you will consider getting this treatment?
EMILY!! Loved your Video! What a Great Job educating your audience about the contouring effects of "Botox" for treatment of Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy.
Thank you dearest Greta! ❤️❤️❤️ 🌹. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Looking forward to seeing you again at the Derm clinic 🤗. Thanks for always taking care of me.
Your videos and explanations are EXCEPTIONAL!
Thank you dearest Demi! 🥰
Totally off topic but I love how you accurately pronounce everyone's name 🥰
Thanks Ena it’s important for me to correctly pronounce names 😊
I know "they" say certain face shapes are more appealing than others. However, all my life I have had what some would call a square jawline. It has never affected how I feel about my face as it is in proportion to the rest of my face including the forehead. That aside, I also have suffered with TMJ for quite a while. I became slack in using my night guard but have been using it for quite a while now. I was to the point it was so painful I could hardly open my mouth to speak and chew. I just so happened to become consistent with using my New Face device almost every day, and sometimes massaging my face. I just recently noticed I
do not have the TMJ pain. So, keeping up this protocol is a must for me.
Thanks for sharing your story Kathy! If New Face continues to decrease your TMJ pain then great! If not, and you try Botox to your masseters, not for facial slimming but for relief of the TMJ, feel free to keep us posted.
You are such an amazing teacher! ♥️🙏🏻
Thanks for your comment! 🤗. Hope you subbed and turned on notifications 🛎 to be alerted for more informative videos!
Super informative! Thanks for sharing 💕
I honestly did not realize how fortunate I was until celebs started getting procedures to get what I naturally have. Thank gosh cause that is just way to much upkeep
Thanks for sharing your story. Curious what facial shape you have?
Now you just need to have as much money as they do 😂
@@malloryknox6802 😆
I didn’t feel any pain and it was like 20 seconds, love the results ❤️

Well researched video just what is needed to make an educated decision!!
Thank you sir Wilmoth.
This video was amazingly ho
Helpful and I feel more motivated to start slow with this treatment to prevent Jowling. Thank you!!

I heavily grind my teeth at night and i can’t seem to find the right mouth guard. This was a helpful video, thank you!
Amazing 🤩.. I definitely want to try a this treatment next on my appointment. Super informative
Really!I. ’m glad you found the masseter hypertrophy scale helpful ❤️
Glad I clicked on this, very informative!
Glad you clicked on this too! Glad you enjoyed 🤗
Imma guy, this is my favorite treatment, it does wonder to my face. Even though I don't have tmj or something my muscle jaw develops periodically, been having this for the last 4 years within one year interval for re-injection.
Thank you for sharing your story!
Very informative and helpful video. Thank you ❤️
So glad you found it helpful! 🥰
Very helpful. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful 👍
this is what i need!
I’m having this done tomorrow in hospital for my painful jaws, physio didn’t work so hoping this does, to be honest I’m not bothered what this does to my face because the pain outweighs everything ….of course if it changes my face for better then that’s a big bonus. I just prey it stops the pain.
Okay purrrr this was rlly helpful
Glad you found it helpful! Feel free to share with a friend
Another lovely video! Personally I’m not interested in this treatment, as I have a diamond shaped face, but it’s amazing to see the before and afters!
Thank you Luna I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I also have a diamond shaped face. Sometimes I wish my masseters were larger and stronger so I could get a little more width to my face lol.
omg this is for me!! hope i can do this soon
Thanks for sharing! Hope you can too
Love that youthful triangle
Thanks Roger!
very informative, thank you!!!

Thank you Sharon! Please feel free to share this video with others who you think would benefit. Hope you subbed and turned on notifications 🤗
EXCELLENT VIDEO!
So glad you enjoyed it! Feel free to share with a friend.
This helped me with my teeth clenching and pain there. I have a heart shaped face or maybe diamond? So they only gave me 10 units on each side . I got it done twice and it’s helping me not keep chipping that enamel and/or grind down to the nerve which was leading me to root canals soon…
Was the change to your face/jaw very noticable after? Struggling with same issues and thinking about trying botox, but afraid it will change my face. Kinda happy with my jawline as it is
Well done very informative..
Thanks Terry!
I was so excited to get these injections done for my TMJ and round face until I realized what a weak jawline and side profile I already have due to submental fullness/fat and sagging on my neck. I've seen many people talk about the sagging they experienced after these injections and I can't stomach the possibility I could end up with even more... I'm only 25, petite and slim otherwise, and since I've noticed this I've felt so terrible about how I look.
Check this video out it can help th-cam.com/video/vKFX8tul7CI/w-d-xo.html
Microcurrent could be really helpful, Christine Byers does lots of videos on jowls x
Please reply, I'm in the same situation and I'm in a very bad situation. Has your face improved or regained its former shape?
@@tallisinwonderland4724all she does is sell stuff
And she’s had a face lift!
I have a super weak jawline and side profile and I had this done for medical reasons and girl your health is so much more important than your appearance. Your tight masseter muscle could potentially be holding your lower jaw back anyway so it might help
So informative!
Glad you found it helpful!
Really really good content! But I am missing one very important point and it is the importance to understand why somebody has a hyperthrophied masseter, which frequently is a compensation mechanism due to malocclusion of both dental arches, which can be aggravated when u inject BTX into that masseter that is actually a functional unit together with he temporal and pterygoid muscles, which then can cause another problem. Here is so important to point out the Evaluation from a TMJ Specialist that understands about dental occlusion and provides a splint and gives a go for the support with BTX. I really like how well explained your vids are and enjoy them always. XoXo.
You bring up a very good point that I didn’t realize. It would be interesting to know exactly how much malocclusion plays a part in Masseter muscle hypertrophy. I focused my research on ppl who want to get Botox for facial slimming and kinda threw in the fact that it can also help if you have bruxism because many of my patients feel relieved from jaw clenching after having this procedure. Thank you for your valuable feedback and thank you so much for watching the video!
Also curious to know how long you feel this treatment lasts?
@@NaturalInjector malocclusion plays a big role in masseter hyperthropy, thats why I first take a look inside the mouth and check how the teeht occlude. If they occlude in a right way and I really touch the masseter from outside and inside then I apply BTX, in very big ones I apply at least 50 -60 U per side in 3 points (20/20/20) or so on, it depends. I Do it then the injection under Ultrasound Guidance so I have a look in all the maseter layers and apply it in all layers I can see avoiding the fibrotendonous layer between the depp and the Sup layer.
And it can last long...from 6 Months Till 10 months.
@@mauricioceronm.d.351 Very interesting. Just curious, what’s your specialty is? You’re so knowledgeable on the dentistry aspect. That’s very thorough that you utilize US guidance 👍.
@@mauricioceronm.d.351 That’s awesome! The other day my co-worker and I were discussing longevity of masseter Botox for bruxism and she told me she had to get injected around every 3-4 months and I told her that I think she should increase the dosage. I think she got around 20 on each side.
I have been getting this done for over 2 years and it is a total total game changer. Unfortunately I think I am becoming slightly immune to the effects of botox because I’m not seeing the results I used to! Could this be because I’m waiting too long in between periods to re-touch up? I usually do 25 units on one side and 20 on the other but do you think I should try 30 to really see a difference? Thank you so much for your videos I’ve seen a bunch of them and your voice is so relaxing
Hi Lily. Thanks for your comment, I’m so glad you found my voice relaxing that’s sweet. Have you looked at your before & after photos recently? Meaning comparing your photo now to before you started masseter Botox (your baseline photo). I’m asking this because a lot of times patients think that Botox doesn’t work as effectively as it did in the past but when we compare their picture from before starting they realize that there’s a big difference. You could ask your cosmetic provider to go up to 30 units on each side and see what happens. I treated 2 patients in this video with 36 units on each side.
Try xeomin versus botox
I just got it the first time ever and did 35 on one side and 30 on the other, def try it
i believe we are to love ourselves thats the beauty of being different not cookie cutter
I believe in the diversity of beauty also. Treating your masseters will not take away from someone’s uniqueness. Treatment not only enhances someone’s beauty but it can also really relieve some of the pain that happens from grinding. A win win
Is it advise-able for a person with overbite? It causes me to clench some of my back teeth and have soreness
I had this a year or so ago, I would get migraines from TMJ. My jawline wasn’t too angular, more round than anything else. With the Botox, my migraines were alleviated and I liked the way it made my jawline look too, however it made my cheek area look so gaunt. Kind of like I’d have my cheek bone, which isn’t large or overly protruding since I’m quite flat faced, then an unattractive dip from just below the cheek bone to the jawline, where it would come back out. Kind of peanut shaped, for lack of a better descriptor. It was very unattractive, I felt I looked quite unwell actually. I’d love to get the Botox there again for my TMJ, and the jawline aspect was a nice bonus, however with the way it made my cheeks look I can’t bring myself to have it done again. I definitely didn’t expect that to happen, I feel much more confident now that it’s worn off
You are not the only person that feels that way which is why I mentioned the post masseter atrophy. Just curios, do you know how many units you were treated with to each masseter?
This is a very interesting video which talks about what you can do to correct the gaunt look 👉 th-cam.com/video/vKFX8tul7CI/w-d-xo.html
did it change your face even after it dissolved?
Same! It made my face look sunken and hollow, and I have big cheekbones so my face looked like a peanut. And I looked a lot older. And my jowls sagged. Im not doing it again. good thing I grind a lot and my maseter grew right back.
@@_CL it doesn’t really dissolve since it’s Botox but it “wears off”, it’s worn off now however my jaw hasn’t returned back to normal, the hollow in my cheeks has improved but my jaw bones are still a lot smaller. I’m looking into getting filler to bring my jaw back as my front profile no longer has any definition - if that makes any sense
@@madj7152 ah so lucky! The hollowness in my cheeks improved however my jaw bones haven’t returned back to normal yet and I’m worried they won’t at all! From the front I just don’t have any jaw definition, I hate it! At first I kind of liked the way it looked from the front profile, minus the hollow cheeks, but now I just want to look like myself again.
I got this treatment 5 years ago doing 40 per side and I am considering doing it now again. Would I do the same amount of units, or could i reduce the amount to say 30 units per side? My face would fall under #3.
Thank you for making this video :)
🔮✨I am definitely getting it❤.
Let us know how it goes!
Here I am trying to relax my jaws so I can sleep. I grind all day & night 😩 I might just consider this to alleviate the pain
You should def give this a shot! It has helped a lot of my patients
Very informative.
🤗 thank you. Please feel free to share with others
This was the question I was searching for. I already have an oval face between 2 and 3 on the scale but I have TMJ and my jaw hurts so much. I have been considering to get this kinda bottox for the pain but also my pain comes from the jaw bone rather than the muscle? I'll talk about it if I ever see a professional.
Omg i’m so happy to find this video, i thought my jaw alot of fat, so i decided to sliming injection tratment, but dont work, i bet cause my sleep grind 😢
Hi Vivi. Glad you found the video helpful! Which slimming injection treatment did you get? Kybella?
I always had a very square jaw but in recent years from grinding and clenching its gotten ba and painful! I got this done 2 weeks ago! Mine are the strongest masseters shes treated she said lol i got 30 on one side and 35 on the larger asymmetrical side. Have a bit of bulging still when i clench but she assured me it will go down after 3-4 weeks. My tmj pain is also already gone!
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing your story. A lot of my patients get good relief from pain with this treatment. Glad it’s helped!
Great video
Thanks Bianca!
More videos just came across your page !!
Hi Nacrin. Do you mean that you discovered more videos on my channel?
No I just discovered your channel and shared it with friends ! I meant to say put more videos !!!!
@@nacrinismael1123 I would be so grateful if you shared my channel with your friends because I’m trying to grow🙏. Thanks so much!
Omgshhhh. 🥺 I would lovvve to be able to do this. I clench my jaw and grind my teeth soo much while I sleep that I wake up with a sore face, tight jaw, and migraines even. A lot of times the night guard that I was given makes it worse, because my teeth are like “oh what’s this foreign object in here all night?!” and want to have a clenching/grinding party all night with it lol. AGH I need this.
And totally would mind having a narrower, more feminine jaw either.
Thank you SO SO MUCH for sharing this information so educationally!
…now to see if TriCare will cover these costs… hahah.
TriCare. So are you in the military or a family member of someone in the military? Botox can be a game changer for people who grind and I have patients who have found so much relief from treating these areas with Botox. It would be interesting to see if TriCare covered this treatment. I used to be in the Navy so I had TriCare too.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
YES my nightguard triggers my chewing reflex; it protects my teeth but makes me want to clench my jaw even more. I can't win 😩
@@KiteFlyingVespa Definitely think Botox is worth a try!
Do you practice? If so where, I love your content and would love to find out more about Botox and fillers.
Thanks Jessica. Yes I practice in Los Angeles CA. Glad you love the content!
Could you give some tips on how one could tell if the wideness/ bulkiness of the lower face is attributed to buccal fat, jaw bone shape, or masseter hypertrophy?
What are some factors to keep in mind when looking for a cosmetic procedure/ specialist?
Sometimes people who get masseter botox look older, sometimes they look younger. Is there a way to tell/prevent this?
Great question. It’s difficult to tell without me seeing and being able to actually palpate how strong your masseter muscles are. If I have you palpate your own masseters it wouldn’t mean much if you didn’t know the differences in strength which comes from assessing people which is what your provider can do. Excess buccal fat would give more of a round shaped face and be higher up on the face whereas bulkiness from the actual mandible bone or masseter muscle would be lower down at the angle of the mandible.
@@canisayily All depends on the person and how much facial slimming was done. I would be careful in older people who have jowls
Well attraction is always a preference. On some of the ladies you showed yes, they did look better but I preferred most of them without treatment. But it's whatever makes you feel good.
Yes I agree it’s a preference and it made these ladies feel better about themselves but still look like themselves.
Hi why does the jawline return after a few months from the botox? Is it from bad habits?
As you get older your buccal pads decrease, so naturally your face gets slimmer and the natural jaw structure can be revealed, which can also be dependent on other factors such as body fat percentage, and usually celebrities have strict routines and lifestyles. Some of the celebs also get buccal fat removal which makes it gaunter.
thank you so much for this informative video!! i’m currently 18, i do not have TMJ but my large face shape is something that i’m extremely insecure about. i want to get this treatment once i’m 21, or maybe over. have you had any patients fall within the 18-23 ish age range? what age would you say is too young?
Hi Vicky, glad you found the video helpful! I did treat someone who was under 20 years old before but she had TMJ. I’m not sure where you live but treatment for facial slimming can be done at 18 years old here in the US. (Anything younger than that would require parental consent). Did you find the masseter hypertrophy scale helpful? If so where do you fall?
Hey Vicky - I got this treatment at 20 and noticed a significant difference and have now gone back to get it again at 22. It’s great but sometimes the cost can be an issue as if you have a very strong jawline you may need a lot of units and to top up regularly to keep the muscle weak. As someone who is young and doesn’t have a full time job this has been the biggest issue for me. I also have pretty bad sleeping TMJ so the treatment got rid of that but also gave me a slimmer face shape.
So true I have an heart/diamond shaped face and I always said I would look so tragic if I was a guy because my face is so feminine, I have to wear long hair and look feminine. I can’t do masculine androgynous look at all. I personally like women that have a square shaped face and can pull off the androgynous look. But I’m definitely fine with my heart/diamond shaped face. I do like it. I love both face shapes, but I just love the versatility of having a square shape and being able to pull off androgynous looks also. i’m kind of stuck being hyper feminine.
I wanted to get this done but then occured a question: If I botox the masseter muscle will I be more likely to have jowls as I get older due to the muscle atrophy?
I used a night guard before finally getting botox for my grinding and clenching. I've only gotten it once now but I still have pain sometimes so I'm assuming I need more. I got 30 on the left and 35 units on the right. More on the right because the right is a bit stronger.
It’s possible you may need more. How long has it been since your treatment?
@@NaturalInjector a little over a month now
@@popstargurl241 Oh ok. Well it’s possible you may need more. I would follow up with your provider.
As a guy I definitely see the improvements in the celebs from botox. I think while it is possible to pull off a slightly masculine jawline anything excessive is comparatively unattractive and anyone who tries to convince you to be yourself is not really helping. So glad that these non invasive surgeries exists for everyone :) Great video!
Also I preferred 2 and 3 the most so your suggestions are very accurate!
Thank you for your comment Adam. I’m beyond grateful that non-invasive procedures exist!! It’s refreshing to hear your comment because I have gotten not so nice comments about how I made ppl feel like crap about their facial shape, even though I stated in the video that there are many women with square facial shapes that are absolutely gorgeous 👍.
Is there a reason why this may not slim someone’s face? I’m pretty thin but I have always had a moon face. When I clench I don’t see my masseter pop out, will the treatment still work or could it be just fat and Botox won’t fix the issue
Love it 🔥
Thanks for watching Roger glad you love the content 👍
@@NaturalInjector Absolutely
Thank you so much for this video! Very informative! I recently got 15 units of Botox on each side of my masseter. I feel like I may need a bit more because I want to achieve a true v jawline shape. How many units of Botox would you say is ideal in order to achieve this?
(My jawline is definitely a 4 on the scale)
If you are a 4 on the scale you may have to increase the units. I used 36 units ON EACH SIDE for the first 2 models in this video. This was based on the ongoing study that Allergan, the company that manufactures Botox is doing. Most of the people treated in their study that did very well with facial slimming got 36 units to each side. So maybe you should talk to your provider about increasing your units, you don’t necessarily have to go to 36 units but it may be a good idea to increase the amount of units. I’m not sure how long ago you got injected but keep in mind it takes around a month for the muscle to atrophy.
I really want this done for the look of a slimmer face but I also clench on one side in particular my left and sometimes I wake up with a locked jaw and I have to wait for it to become unlocked but I don''t know if I am a good candidate still. Do you know if this will help with asymmetry as my right side looks very different to my left. :)
Great question. I have a few patients that have asymmetry and a stronger masseter on one side. You can try treating the side that has stronger muscles to se if you can make it look more symmetrical as well as alleviate symptoms.
Hi Doctor. Help! My face has a concave profile and prominent chin (witch chin) especially when smiling pulling fullness away from middle face making the chin appear to stick out. When younger and a bit fuller face, my jaw and face had a more square look, however not as much now but my concave profile plus smile lines folding make the chin much worse. Help what is best to do?
Hi Lucid I am a PA. If you have smile lines it may be best to try filler to the area but it’s really difficult for me to advise without seeing your face.
learned a lot here
Wow I’m so confused now. I thought some of this face slimming was due to Buccal fat removal surgery. Now I don’t know the difference between this treatment and buccal fat removal or if one the two is preferred if you have a specific goal or maybe face shape?
It’s possible that some of the women here have had that too. Both buccal fat removal and masseter Botox can make the face appear less square and chubby. Buccal fat removal would be beneficial if the person had a lot of fat to their lower cheek area. It’s would likely be more beneficial for people who have round, rather than square facial shapes.
@@NaturalInjector thank you!
Also, can I avoid jowling as I age if I continue to get this treatment for life? Thanks!
i had masseter botox ( i went in thinking i needed jaw filler but was advised i already have such a wide circular face and that jaw filler would make it worse ) i had it in september and was advised it can take few months to see a difference but i see absolutely no difference :( did i just not get enough?
Hi Emily! I was wondering if dysport or xeomen would work better than botox for the jaw muscles because it is known to have more spread? I have definitely seen more of an effect with these than with botox. What do you think? Thank you!
You can use Dysport in this area. Although no neurotoxin is FDA approved yet for treating masseters, it’s off label (Botox is doing the clinical trials to get actual FDA approval) but there’s no reason why you couldn’t use it in this area. I believe Dysport is stronger or has more of a paralyzing effect than Botox. I don’t think it necessarily spreads more. Here’s a video I did - Botox vs. Dysport 👉 th-cam.com/video/y1YcCiA0GXY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much for your quick response
@@simi5044 👍
Is there any non invasive treatment for a misaligned jaw? My lower jaw juts out slightly to the left.
Not that I know of. I have a patient that had a lot of asymmetry to her jawline and she had surgery. It’s. Possible to do jaw filler to try and make the other side look more defined but other than that not sure. Guess it depends on how asymmetrical it is.
I chewed too much gum for 6 months becuz of stress and it's ended up becoming a habit and now I have overdeveloped my masseters but am just 16 yrs old what do I do? Is there no natural way to reverse it
Having a triangular-shaped jawline line came with a surprise for me : with aging my chin became more narrow du to a ptose. I had good cheek bones to keep all my face in place but now every thing is falling 🤷🏻♀️.
That being said filler scared me so much and are not a casual things in my contry (France)
Thanks for sharing. As we age things like that happen but thankfully we have things like filler to help restore and prevent. Why does filler scare you?
@@NaturalInjector Thanks for responding to my comment. First I don't like niddle and I'm afraid to look unatural after the procedure. As I said before in France the aging's process is more accepted because it's part of life. But we never know maybe one days I'll find myself in a doctor's chair for a filler. Have a good days.
@@nokiaforever5724 you too have a good day 😉
If you get this does it make the jaw less defined from the side profile? Like would it make you look like you have a weak jaw
Slightly less defined, yes. But not necessarily weak. A good candidate is someone who has a very strong defined jawline and the goal is to soften their jawline. But you do bring up a good question when I spoke about overly rapid post treatment masseter hypotrophy at 9:22. So in some cases It can accentuate sagging and less definition.
If someone gets this for a non-cosmetic reason to do with grinding and pain, Would it be possible to get insurance to cover it?
Great question. Yes it is possible to get this treatment covered thru insurance if you have pain.
If I have a round face and want to contour the cheeks with this Botox treatment would 6 units be okay. I don’t have much definition on my jaw line
It’s not so much for contouring of the cheeks, and by cheeks I’m assuming that you mean lower cheeks? It’s really for people who are wide near the back part or their lateral face near the angle of their jawline rather than their lower cheeks. I think you may be thinking masseter Botox can do what buccal fat removal can do? With buccal fat removal you can get more contour to your lower cheek.
I did it because I was clenching my teeth at night, but the down side is that I started to jowl and it makes my face look older 😫 I’m no longer doing it anymore.
Could I do it to treat my facial asymmetri ؟
Hi I am a guy 22 years old and have jaw pain. I have a diamond face shape and a narrower lower half of my face, the jaw pain is very annoying so i’m considering getting botox. However, as a guy I have no idea what the procedure would make me look like. My right masseter is much larger than my left masseter. The right side has pulled on my bone and made my face asymmetrical. I am already low body fat, so i believe the enlarged masseter is making me jawline less defined and more bulky. I was wondering if there was someway I could show pictures to get your opinion? It is harder to find stuff on guys for the botox treatment
Hi and thanks for sharing your story. I do offer virtual consults. naturalinjector.myaestheticrecord.com/book/appointments
I have my appointment next week 😉😉😉
Feel free to keep us posted on how it goes 🤗
I wish you can help me to slimmer my jawline, I have a square face and also had problem grinding my teeth, that cause probably having big jawline..
Emily please help me, i have a bigger cheek in right side only,can the botox help me?
I had a consultation with professional about this procedure & she said my masseter muscles are too weak/small. I don’t have TMJ, I just want to slim my cheeks/jawline. Would this procedure still work for me?
Thanks for watching but I cannot possibly tell you if this procedure could benefit you without seeing your face. Where did you feel you fell within the masseter hypertrophy scale?
I had this done for teeth grinding but would never do it again. I had a very square jaw but it didn’t bother me . I regretted getting it done not long afterwards, I experienced so much discomfort and pain for the first month and never expected my jaw to literally hang open the whole time even though I only received a half dose of Botox each side. The muscles atrophied so much it looked like my face “dropped” and made the side cheeks look gaunt(didn’t help that I had cheek filler which made it look a lot worse).
Sorry to hear that. How much did you mean by a half dose?
@@NaturalInjector
according to the plastic surgeon she normally administers 20 units per side but I only received 10 units per side because she wanted me to retain the natural squareness in my face, needless to say it all fell flat and my face looked weirdly long and jowly. Luckily the Botox has mostly worn off after 6+ months and I’ve got use of my masseters again, although the muscles are still small the fact that they are now pulling tight and “flexing” again has made a difference in the shape of my face and I’m noticing a lot less jowling.
@@Chibi_Sashi Oh wow so she only did 10 units per side and you had this effect. Wow. Glad your muscle function has returned and you notice less jowls. Curious what number you would put yourself on with the masseter hypertrophy scale?
@Chibi_Sashi hi, I know this is an old post but did your face ever go back to original form and your jowls go away? How long did it take from injection?
@@lisaboxell670 Hey, the botox (10 units each side) finally wore off after about a year or so (even though I was told it lasts 6 months) and I've been getting masseter development again within the past few months. It's been about a year and a half since I got the injections.
I tend to grind my teeth at night (the reason I got the injections in the first place) so the development has been quite noticeable although they're not 100% back but it's a huge difference from where I was a year ago.
Mike Mew and Felix Liao would have an opinion about this.
All my TMJ people out there 🙌🏻
🤗
Personally I found the square jaws more attractive than the pointy chins after treatment
is it me or long faced ppl just age faster idk like shorter faced are more youthful imo, such as many east asians naturally just look younger and they usually have shorter faces?
But for example … Eiza González has this and I truly believe that she’s one of the sexiest woman out there
She actually may have had Botox to her masseters. Just curious, have you seen pics of her before her plastic surgery? She looks very different than what she did before.
when they smile without the botox, it seems like they are smiling but after botox, they dont look happy but flawless.
Q: what if you have chubby cheeks and you do this masseter Botox procedure (for aesthetics or bruxism)? would that sag your cheeks (skin/fat) as well?
I want to know too
Can it cause muscle peralise on my jaw ?
And what is the gap should i take after first botox ?
It will weaken or paralyze the masseter muscle which is just one muscle. You will still be able to chew food. Your timing gap all depends on how much you do and how long it lasts for you. Everyone is different so I cannot give you an exact time frame but a lot of my patients come every 4-6 months or so.
I grind my teeth during my sleep so much so that it has affected my teeth. My mouth guard has been eaten through lol but I think I have a v shape jaw. Will I be a good candidate?
If you grind your teeth Botox can definitely be beneficial even if you have a V-shaped jaw.
I have one side bigger due to chewing mostly on that particular size. If i get botox one/two times and then start chewing equally on the both sides . Will i need no further treatment ?
I don’t know, possibly if it’s from overuse of the side that you chew on.
So I already have a naturally defined jaw but one side is more prominent than the other.I feel as though it is quite uneven would it better to get botox only on one side and would the botox harden onto the jaw bone?
You can try Botox to the more prominent side of your jaw. I’m not sure what you mean by harden the jaw bone as Botox relaxes muscles.
@@NaturalInjector what I mean by harden as in like does Botox go hard or is it soft and you can feel it
@@emerldjewlsxox5705 Botox is not a filler so it will not make the tissue hard or soft, all it does is relax muscle. You cannot feel the Botox in the skin because it’s not a filler. This procedure does weaken the masseter muscle so after having this procedure and asking the person to bite down, their masseter muscle should not feel as strong after. (You can feel when you ask the person to bite down and you palpate their muscles- This is what I do to gage how much Botox I should treat them with).
I already have a slim face but suffer with bad TMJ, what will the effects be on a slim face?
She talks about this at the 6-minute mark
I'm 17 and I have slight jowls, my masseter muscles are strong but not much but I do have a square face and I want to get rid of it. Will this help and how long should I keep doing this? Also will mewing in any way or chewing gum help? Tysm for the vid many concerns are clear btw.
I would not be able to give any advice on if it would help without seeing your face. If you grind this treatment could give you relief. I think mewing depends on if you start early enough and once your facial skeleton is formed I don’t think it would help much. I also think it depends on if you need dental work or not.
I am just here to get my approval that I am the perfect candidate 🤣🤣🤣
👍🤗
Why not sure try to save up for lower jaw reduction?
I know for me, clenching is a stress response/habit.. I'm hoping that Botox would help me stop clenching and I could unlearn the habit?
I think it can definitely help prevent you from clenching. Are you going to try it?
