Botox for masseters - injection techniques and dose? (Photo)

C
CindersxoxoFeb 23, 2018

I'm going to have jaw botox this coming Monday - I did choose a certified medical doctor. As you can see from the picture attached, I have quite wide jawline. It's not my bone, though, as I clearly feel (and see!) two large masseters on both sides of my bottom face. Judging from the picture - how many units of botox would you recommend for myself? Also, any tips on injection sites/techniques? It looks like the problem is not at the back sides of my jawline but just in the in the middle? Thank you!

First, I am not surprised that you didn't see results with 16 units of Xeomin.  This is barely enough to treat the glabellar area and certainly not the standard dosing that most injectors use.  As for BOTOX or Xeomin causing dizziness, rest assured that these products stay where they are i...

If you are not already doing it, I would suggest starting on a good vitamin C product and some retinol. These are ingredients known to support collagen formation. Regular Microdermabrasions or Hydrafacials will speed up the skin turnover so the skin stays supple and the static lines do not...
