I had 27.5 units per side in 21.8.2023. It slimmed my face VERY MUCH, but it didn't pass at all. My muscles feel strong as before, but face looks very slim still! Doctor said it wears off after 3-4 months, but im stuck, I want my old square face shape back!! Will it last forever in my case? Im panicking. (If it's relevant, im 19 years old- I also wear a retainer at night because I had my braces off 6 months ago).

Answer: Facial Slimming After Masseter Botox Thanks or your question. Botox does not dissolve per se. It interrupts nerve cell signaling for a period of time, until the nerve cells have enough time to regenerate a protein that they make which enables the signal transmission again. There isn't anything you can do to "speed that up"- it just happens naturally. Over time if you do not treat the muscles again with botox, they would be expected to gradually enlarge again. An analogy would be if you were working out at the gym doing a lot of biceps exercies and you built that muscle up larger- then you took a prolonged break where you do zero biceps workouts (the muscle would shrink down smaller)- then you resumed the havy biceps musle workouts and got the muscle bulk back again. Nothing with botox is 'permanent'. I hope that helps!

Answer: Masseter Tox Botox does metabolize, usually in 3-4 months. However, you actually atrophied (shrank) your masseter muscles with the tox. Your muscles will have to build back up (just like if you were working out your arm or leg muscles). It will take a while to achieve you pre-tox square jawline.
