I received my first botox injection in my masseter muscles to slim down my face almost 3 weeks ago and have seen no improvement. I went in and got a second injection about week ago. How long until I see at least a small reduction in size? Also I feel some soreness around my temporomandibular joint ever since the second injection, could someone please tell me why this is? Thanks in advance for any help!

Answer: Botox For Masseters I do this type of treatment everyday. It typically takes 7-10 days to start to notice a change in the masseter and shouldn't require a second treatment unless a very small amount was done the first time. Each injection session takes roughly 2 weeks to see the ultimate results. You should have a decreased pain in the TMJ after treatments. Do you know what dosages were performed? I suggest getting a second opinion. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Botox for the Masseters The masseter is a large, strong muscle so it will take longer to see results after Botox treatment than other areas of the face. It can take up to 4 weeks for you to start seeing the results. Also, depending on the size of your muscle it may take a few treatments to reach the appropriate dosage for you that will give the best results. Make sure you continue your follow-up with your injector.
