How many units of botox would I need in my massetor muscles to have a smaller jawline?
Answer: Slim the jawline with Botox or Dysport There is a normal range for most patients. I find that 20-30 units of Botox per side (or 60-90 units of Dysport) is adequate for the vast majority of patients. If it is the first time we are trying an injection I will often start around 20 units per side then reassess in a few weeks to see if more is needed. I find that patients who have significant TMJ and myofascial pain symptoms with their masseter hypertrophy often need a higher dose than patients who are getting the treatments primarily for cosmetic concerns. The goal should be to figure out the lowest amount that does what you want it to do.

Answer: Facial slimming with Botox Facial slimming is very popular as gentle treatments can produce very pleasing results. The number of units of Botox depends on the size of the muscle and the degree of improvement wanted. In addition, there needs to be precise placement of the product as problems can occur when other muscles are inadvertently affected.Please make sure that you see an experienced doctor for a thorough consultation and assessment prior to undergoing any treatments.Best regards and I hope this helps, Dr. Sapijaszko.

Answer: Masseter Botox Historically, I have started with 20 units per side. I then have the patient come back in 1-2 weeks to see if more is needed. Seldom have I seen a patient that needs more than 30 units per side.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation Specialist

Answer: Botox can slim the jawline by softening the Masseter muscles Most patients require 30-40 units (total, for both sides) of Botox to slim the masseter muscles. This can be tailored to you needs. Often this treatment lasts a bit longer than other areas treated, 4-6 months.
