Hi there! I just went for a consultation with my dermatologist and I mentioned that I wanted to get botox in the masseter. I have a huge face and my masseter muscle is very strong. She said that's one of the only procedures she doesnt do because she doesnt think it helps the symmetry of the face. However she did do my lips (0.5ml of teosyal kiss) and I'm coming back for the rest of the syringe next week. She did a wonderful job, I'm super happy. Thoughts?
