3 days ago i had 30 units of botox split between 2 shots in my left masseter to help with tmj pain and muscle asymmetry. Last night i noticed when i clenched my jaw a huge lump comes out from my masseter. Did the doctor miss? It seems the muscle is still pretty active. Or is it hematoma? There is no discoloration.

There could be a little dispersion from the injection sight because of the trauma, but nothing to worry about overall.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
Since the masseter is so large it takes a bit of time--sometimes a couple of months to see the complete results and often takes more than one injection session before the results are what you want. Make sure you are seeing a board certified dermatologist with experience in cosmetic procedures
