31/F/Asian did Botox masseter reduction yesterday.150 units 5-6 points each side. Left masseter is naturally slightly bigger than right. Aesthetician told me she adjusts the points accordingly. Post injection, I feel tightness on my right jaw when I try to open/ close my mouth. Both sides are still little swollen 15hr post injection on injected area. Is this normal after Botox masseter procedure? When will this swelling & tightness in my right jaw joint will go away? Left side is perfectly fine.

You should definitely check with your treating physician since there are some vasculitis diseases that make you contraindicated to these cosmetic procedures. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
