I had 15 units of botox on each of my masseters for a facial slimming effect about a week ago. Today my jaw has been popping when I chew and it is very uncomfortable. I am not in pain the popping just feels foreign and I know it cannot be healthy especially since I wasn't experiencing the popping before the botox. I also read an article recently that implicates long term botox use in the masseters to cause jaw joint problems later on. Is the popping uncommon side effect? Should I be concerned?
