Does Everyone Who Offers Botox Treat the Masseter Muscle?
I'm interested in getting Botox and fillers done but I'm also wanting to get my masseter muscle reduced & I'm finding it difficult finding a place that puts Botox into the masseter. when setting up a consultation I ask if it's offered and I get a lot of no's. Im going out of the country in a few weeks and wanted toget this done ASAP. are there specific doctors that only do this?how do I find them? In the San Antonio Area please, thanks.

Treating the Masseter muscle with Botox
In North America, injection of the Masseter muscle with Botox is less commonly performed than in Asia, and so there are many physicians who are not perfectly comfortable with this treatment. Ask around till you find a dermatologist who has the experience to do a great job for you.

Not all doctors who do botox inject the masseter muscles
Absolutely not, not all physicians who are expert in injecting cosmetic botox are experienced in injecting the masseter muscles. hypertrophic masseter muscles, the muscles of chewing, can create full cheeks. Treatment of the masseter muscles can thin out the cheeks for a pleasing result. however, there can be side effects and if there is an unequl effect, it is possible that one side might create more chewing strength and create an unbalance that would affect the TMJ areas...

Botox is effective in reducing masseter muscle bulk, requires 30-50 units per side
The use of Botox for masseter muscle reduction is a relatively straightforward procedure so I am surprised that you are having such a hard time finding someone.

A spa with less qualified non-MD injectors might be afraid to perform this procedure.

Botox For Masseters (Jaw Muscles) is Effective
Not all Botox injectors offer this treatment of the masseters (i.e. jaw muscles).

Botox and Jaw Muscles
I do these injections and have for years, but Botox into the jaw muscles, just like any Botox injections, is an art form. Many very experienced Botox injectors still don't do this area. You will simply need to ask when you call for a consultation. It's not something every injector does or would know how to do.

Botox for masseters
This is definitely an advanced technique. You want to make sure you see an expert, either a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. It requires knowledge of the anatomy of the area to achieve the results you're after. Very common in Asia but there are doctors here in the US who are proficient in this technique.

Does Everyone Who Offers Botox Treat the Masseter Muscle?
I'm guessing, No. Reducing the Masseter Muscle and other muscle shaping uses of Botox or Dysport are advanced techniques that require more experience using these neurotoxins as well as good understanding of the proper aesthetics of facial beauty.
