I have been having my masseters reduced with dysport for the last 3 years, my dosage is usually 50 units on the left, and 55 units on the right (uneven jaw). I am considering moving as the practitioner has changed and the results are less defined as they used to be. The alternative doctor uses botox, at double the cost per unit.
