Hello, I had lower face Botox 6 months ago. A week later I felt like my throat was spasming and going to close and I was having difficulty swallowing. Six months later I’m still having spasms but now you can see them on the left side of my submental area and neck. It does this all day long. I am miserable. I’ve been told that it would go away but it’s been 6 months. What is wrong with me?

Although Botox is injected into the lower half of the masseter and the target is the reduction of volume at the jaw angle, botox works on the entire muscle. Overall muscle volume decreases and the upper half of the muscle could have slimmed down too. More botox units injected in the left...
Yes! Botox works by temporarily paralyzing specific muscles. For nasal flaring, Botox is injected into the nasalis muscle, which controls the movement of the nostrils. By relaxing this muscle, Botox can reduce the degree of nostril flaring.
