Posted underBotox q&a

I got Botox injected into my masseter muscles about 5 days ago and I believe it has made my masseter muscles even bigger.

The doctor did one injection on each side and I am unsure of the amount. However, now, when I clench my teeth, the masseter muscles protrude out even more than they did before the botox. I'm very confused, I don't have any pain and am not sure if this is swelling because I can only see the enlargement when I clench. Thanks in advance for any help!
