If I want to build up my masseter muscle again, how soon after jaw botox can I start chewing gum on a regular basis?

Asked By:hbruno13 in Minneapolis, MN

I received botox in my masseter muscle a little over a month ago (16 units on each side), and I am not liking the results, as my face has narrowed to much for my liking. I heard that chewing gum consistently can help work the muscles to bulk them up again. Should I start chewing gum now, or wait the 3-4 months for the botox to wear off?
