Botox for Bruxism - As a Side Effect Will This Also Slim the Face?

July 7, 2013
Asked By:Vanessadoll in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Hi there, I had 25 units of botox injected to the masseters (in each side - 50 units in total) - to help with bruxism. However, I've since learnt botox to the masseters can also slim the face. I have quite a thin/narrow face so am a bit worried about slimming my jawline any further. Is 25 units a big dose? Is there a chance this can just help with bruxism, without slimming down my jawline too much? Thank you!
