How long will it take to build up temporalis and masseter after Dysport?

Question

I am 26. I believe I got 30 units of dysport in each masseter and 10 units in each temporalis for TMJ. It has been ~3 months since my procedure. I have hollowing of my temples and thinning of my face because my masseters have shrunken so much. I also have sagging/jowls as a result of this as well. I am wondering what I can do to build my muscles back up as quickly as possible? And approximately how long will it take? I will never get this procedure done again, it has ruined my self esteem.

Hi Bbb03054,

I am Sarah, a medical assistant at Aesthetic Skin MD with Dr. Anil Shah in Chicago. I have read your story and I would advise you to start chewing gum to work your temporalis muscle back up from Botox injections. At the moment, the muscle is paralyzed from the neurotoxins, but since you got them a few months ago that should also be wearing off as well. This should make it easier for you to rebuild the muscle as well. If you have any more questions, do not hesitate to reach out again by calling our office or visiting our website at the link below.

Hello and thank you for your question. Dysport typically lasts for about 3-6 months, but results vary depending on your metabolism. Unfortunately, at this point, you will have to wait for the treatment to metabolize. You can speed up the process by utilizing the muscles in your face and jaw as often as possible. Even chewing gum can build up muscle strength in this area to restore your facial balance. Keep in mind that this may also aggravate your TMJ symptoms. If the effects of Dysport don’t start to wear off over the coming months, I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss your treatment options.

I'm sorry you are unhappy with your Dysport treatment.  The effects of the product are temporary and you will gradually return to your previous look over the next couple of months.  I encourage you to contact your injector with concerns and questions.

Thank you very much for your question, the time of effect of dysport depends on your metabolism, the time of extension duration is between 3y 6 months, without embarrassment he evaluated his anatomical structure, and revised that what he did was a process of envoecimiento en curso associate, porque en mi experiendia no he visto un caso asi por tratar ATM con toxulin botulinica, lo que yo le sugiero a usted es que espera desaparezca full completa ya esta muy cerca, y empezar a hacer procedimientos con technologies and other products that estimate the collagen and allow us to prevent the signs that we are observing

Dmitriy Schwarzburg, MD · Answer

Dysport typically lasts anywhere from 3 to 5 months. If you want to speed up the process, you can try to actively flex those muscles (chewing gum etc.) to strengthen them again. Otherwise you will have to wait for the dysport to be completely metabolized by your body.
