Asked By:loudestsilence951 in La Mirada, CA

Yesterday I got 15 units of botox injected on both sides of my face for help with clenching and to reduce the size of the masseter. I was advised to get 25 units, but since it was my first time with botox I got less. When i clench my teeth I am noticing that it is protruding a lot more than it used to and I wanted to know if this was normal. Before botox I would gain a little width, but no where near this much and no where near as defined. It's a visible strip of muscle on my face. I'm worried!
