Botox for over 10 years for masseter reduction, now resistant to Botox, Dysport and Xeomin?

February 9, 2017
Asked By:tinahtwu in Los Angeles, CA

I've had botox injections to reduce the masseter muscle for the past 10-12 years, just last year I noticed that it doesn't work anymore so I tried Dysport, which also did not work, and then a month ago, tried Xeomin, which did not work either. I'm looking for other alternatives besides shaving the jaw and muscle since it sounds very invasive. Will Myobloc work for me? Or are there any other alternatives?
