I got masseter Botox back in December, they told me it was temporary and would only last 4-6 months and it would be back to normal at 6 months. I asked for the MINIMUM. My jaw line completely disappeared. I had no jaw. Now my face is coming face in a completely different shape (chin is shorter, its asymmetrical, no structure like before and the jaw appears much shorter too, seems like I have lost volume in my face now whereas before I had plenty). Please help I’m so scared

Hello Keis,
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!!! I have treated many patients with unilateral masseter Botox. I would likely start with 18 to 24 units depending on the mass and strength of the muscle. Feel free to contact my office with any further questions. Keep smiling!!! Good...
Many patients report improvement in TMJ symptoms after Botox injections. The treatment is done in the office with full effect after two weeks. The product benefits will gradually fade over three to four months. See an expert injector near you for treatment.
I'm sorry you are having issues with your Botox treatment. It may take some time as the Botox wears off for the muscles to rebuild back to your prior appearance. You can consider other treatments such as fillers to help in the meantime.
