Awhile back I got masseter tox at a clinic for my TMJ where I got 28U on my right (bigger side), 22U on my left (smaller side). Even though it helped with the TMJ, t gave me bad jowls and I really didn’t like the look. It also seems like the 5U difference was too much, as my right side ended up being way smaller than the left. I’m a lot smaller than the avg person (5ft, 90lbs), so this amount was too much for me, but the consultant kept pushing for 20 minimum. However, when it started to wear off and my masseters regrew (last pic) I REALLY liked the look of it, and my TMJ problems were still fixed! I figured yall would know a lot on dosing, and standard protocol hasn’t rly helped me since I’m not average sized. So any advice on if I were to do it again, how much to do to get the result of the last pic?
