Jaw popping after Botox in masseters for facial slimming?

hello. I agree with some other answers that this may have been a pre-existing condition that for some reason is worse now.  I usually use at least 30 units to each masseter and bring patients back in 2-4 weeks for reassessment.  Many times they need 20 more units to each side. Therefore, it is unlikely that 15 units is enough to cause any issue with your jaw joint.  Botox in higher doses can help with TMJ and clenching so perhaps you had some issues with this that you did not realize and it has now become apparent. At any rate, these units will wear off pretty quickly and you will back to your normal self soon. Best of luck! Dr. Picerno

Rest assured that this is most likely no due to your treatment with BOTOX.  For jaw slimming, most of use at least 30-50 units/side and so this is a very conservative and likely ineffective number of units to do anything.  As such, it is unlikely that your symptoms have anything to do with BOTOX.I hope that helps and wish you the very best!-Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

This is unlikely due to your Botox treatment. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor. Botox results will resolve in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer
