So I'm currently thinking about getting masseter botox. I grind my teeth a lot at night and use nightguards. I have always had pretty wide face. I Have defined jawline and very wide cheekbones. Also a large head. I do have pretty hollow cheeks and if my face gets puffy they are pretty much gone and i look terrible. My temples are pretty wide aswell from bruxism. Can I get botox to slimmer my temples? Can masseter botox slimmer my midface a little also? Does it make my cheeks look bigger? Help!

Answer: Yes - Botox can help slim both the temples and masseters.
Hi! I think a great treatment to help lift, tighten and reduce the appearance of these will be PDO threads! Threads not only lift but they work to promote and stimulate your body's natural collagen over time and create a structural foundation for new collagen to build around.
It is improbable that there is any Botox effect after 12 months. Even muscle retraining fades over time. To get the most accurate opinion, it would be very helpful to have a full face photo of you looking straight ahead before your Botox treatment and a similar photo of the face now. I have seen...
The effects of Botox are temporary, typically lasting three to four months. You should gradually see improvement over the coming months and should return to a look similar to the one you had prior to treatment.
