6 months after masseter Botox. Will my face ever go back to normal? (Photo)

Question

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

I'm sorry you are having issues after your Botox treatment. The effects of Botox are temporary but it may take time for your body to rebuild the muscles that were slimmed by treatment.  I encourage you to return to your injector for an evaluation to learn more.

HiI had few cases of masseter Botox lasting for one year Unfortunately it seems your Botox last longer Jaw angle with or without chin filler would be a good treatment plan
