Bulging masseter after Dysport injections. Will this go away? Can I go to a different injector soon to correct this? (Photo)

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello Sincere703497! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. In general, Botox for masseter slimming often requires 20-30 units to reduce the size of the masseter muscle. Based on your history, it seems as though the superficial muscle fibers have been paralyzed and thus the deeper fibers can protrude more. This can occur with the masseter muscle if the Botox was not injected deep enough. If the muscle is still protruding after 2 weeks, it is recommended to receive a touch up.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are having from your Dysport treatment. It can take two weeks for you to see your final result from treatment. If after that time you still have concerns you can return for a touch up for correction. You may need a little more Dysport, but the amount you received is within the range of a normal starting dose.
