Asked By:kol14 in Florida, FL

Hello I am wondering your thoughts on botox for posterior temporalis muscle, I have a wide forehead which I think is largely caused due to big temporalis muscle which causes my forehead to bow out at the top. the anterior temporalis muscle does not bulge out its more towards the top. I have heard of two procedures for this ,botox and also actual excision of the posterior muscle? Can someone please give their thoughts on this in terms of side effects and risks
