Will my skin tighten up again after masseter Botox?

January 3, 2022
Asked By:calmabr in Anaheim, CA

I got 15 units per side of masseter Botox for clenching, tight jaw for the first time two weeks ago. My doctor said I would see only a very slight difference on my face. In two weeks I already see some softening of the jaw line, and I am concerned. I spoke to him, he said that what I see now I what I will end up with. I have two questions: from your experience, will my face keep getting slimmer and more droopy? Will everything improve and go back to normal once Botox wears off?
