How many units of dysport to slim down my jaw and help with tmj ?

Neuromodulators can be used to weaken the muscles along the posterior jaw line and this may improve TMJ dysfunction. The amount depends on several factors and can be adjusted based on examination and desired results. It is recommended you discuss with your treating provider.

The number of units of Dysport to treat the masseter muscles will vary. An estimate would be 45-60 units per side. The effects will last approximately 3 to 4 months, although some patients report it lasts longer. See an experienced injector for treatment.

Thank you for your question, farrahb! Typically we use around 20 units of Botox for each Masseter muscle to create jaw slimming. That would be 60 units of Dysport. If this does not seem to be enough you can always add more after 1-2 weeks. You want to be sure to not over do it in this area as it can create problems with chewing.
