Botox for unilateral and bilateral masseter hypertrophy works well

Min S. Ahn, MD answers: Botox for bulky unilateral masseter muscle?

My left masseter muscle is much larger than my right. Could Botox help? I'm just worried my left masseter will end up smaller than my right.

I have treated unilateral and bilateral maseter hypertrophy with Botox and it works very well. Aside from the cosmetic imrpovement, it also puts less strain on the temeromandibular joint which reduces teeth grind and tension headaches. Of course you do need to make sure first that there is not another cause for the enlargement. 

Good luck.
