I had Botox Masseter 2 weeks ago and I felt as if it had been working, I was not clenching my jaw and it felt weaker overall. But today I noticed I can bite down as hard as I used to and can feel my muscle when I clench. Where as the first 1.5 week I could not bite down at all. Does this mean it did not work? How soon can I get it done again and how much more should I get injected? I was told she used 55 units.

Answer: Botox Dear fuentescristina,Botox is generally an on off switch for muscle activity. Most of patients see first changes after 4-7 days and the final results after 10-14 days. It depends on the amount of Botox and area where it is injected but it usually last for 3-4 months. If you are concerned about the results of your previous injections, I would suggest you to discuss it with your plastic surgeon. Daniel Barrett, MD
