My dentist did 3 injection sites on each side of my face. She told me one was for my “superficial masseters” (close to the jawline/15 units) and one was for my “deep masseter” close to my cheekbone (5 units). She also did a muscle behind my hairline (5 units). 1 week hurts for me to smile in my cheeks and my smile is limited. Now that I’m googling, I’m wondering what in world was the 5 units in the “deep masseter” by my cheekbone for?
Answer: Masseter botox Hello and thank you for your question- we would always recommend a face to face consult for accurate treatment advice as it's hard to say without an examination. It is important to treat the superficial and deep fibres when injecting the masseter to get a result that looks and works effectively.

Answer: Masseter Botox You will want to wait two weeks after your treatment to assess your final results. If you have concerns or questions I encourage you to return to your injector for an evaluation. There is no reversal agent for Botox but the effects of the product wear off gradually over 3 to 4 months.

Answer: I'd like a second opinion: Did my dentist mess up my masseter Botox by injecting too high? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Unfortunately the pictures being of different angles it is difficult to know what may be taking place. I would allow a full two weeks to pass for the final results to be known, where a more definite opinion can be made. Hope this helps.

Answer: Masseter Muscle Botox Usually Three Injection Sites Per Side Unfortunately, the photos are not helpful. What I can say is that I have been injecting masseter muscles for quite a few years for muscle hypertrophy and TMJ and bruxism problems and for Asian women desiring a more tapered lower face, and the typical three locations for the injections are within the body of the masseter muscle, usually two injections below a line drawn from the angle of the mouth to the tragus of the ear and equally spaced from each other and a third--a single injection--along the jawline. The three injections essentially form a triangle with the apex at or near the jawline. Depending upon the strength of the masseters, the total number of units may vary from 20 to t30 up to 40 units per side. An additional temple injection is not typically done in most cases. You would be wise to contact your injector. Best of luck.

Answer: Explanation of your situation. Masseters. I will start with a short answer. Looking at your pictures and assuming you were trying to smile the same, it is most likely that your risorius muscles were injected. Maybe part of the zygomaticus major muscle was affected as well.
