Masseter Botox side effects?

May 10, 2016
Asked By:jtanix in Los Angeles, CA

I had Masseter Botox for the first time to face slim and help with teeth grinding. I'm not sure how many units. It has been about a month and a half since then, and my jaw muscles have been so sore that I cannot open my mouth wide and hurts to chew. I'm not sure if it means the Botox is wearing off maybe?
