Hi, 2 years ago right side of my jaw suddenly started to gettin bigger. I went to doctor, they told me that it might be "masseter muscle hypertrophy" and they dont know any cure for it, but in most cases it will disappear within 1 year so i just need to wait. Its been more than 2 years and its still same. I dont have any problems with that, but its ugly and people always ask me about it and its drive me crazy. Do you have some ideas what can help me to get rid of this problem ? Thanks for your advices.
