I'd like a second opinion: Did my dentist mess up my masseter Botox by injecting too high? (Photos)

February 11, 2021
Asked By:julsies in Alexandria, VA

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?
