How many units is required for a noticeable difference? Or is it entirely dependent on the individual? I've visited a few clinics and I've been quoted either 15 or 25 units. I was told by one doctor that with Botox, only a small amount is needed for a difference to be seen. But some clinics recommended a higher dosage as the cost was paid for per unit. Could anyone provide some information on this and what dosage they recommend?

Answer: Botox for masseter hypertrophy Thank you for your question.I use approximately 25 units per side because the vial comes in 50 units so I divide it between the two sides. I think only 15 is really needed though. You can always start with a less aggressive approach and up the units if needed.- Dr. Bryson Richards

Answer: Botox for Masseter I would agree with the Botox unit range that was quoted to you. Typically, I place about 20 units into each masseter muscle for a total of 40 units. Certainly, this depends on the individual and some patients require even more units. I recommend consultation with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in injection of the masseter muscle. Best wishes.
