I had masseter botox 2 months ago and have realized that my smile is not same as before and it looks very fake. Is this something normal I can expect after masseter botox?

Answer: Smile gone wrong The injection of botox or similar products into the masseter is a popular and safe way to contour the lower face making it less square. In addition, if you tend to clench or grind teeth, this can be reduced with masseter injections. Proper technique is essential as injection too far forward will weaken not only the masseter muscle, but also one of the muscles used in smiling. Fortunately, this adverse event is temporary but it can last for weeks to months if it happens.

Answer: Why has my smile changed Botox acts to temporarily relax muscles of facial animation. If you have Botox treatments in the masseter muscle, this can affect some muscles that affect your smile. This effect should be temporary if it is related to the Botox.
