Did I get too much Dysport in my masseters? (Photo)

Question

1.5 months ago I had my usual 40 units each side of dysport , totalling to 80U all together. It made my jaw clenching better but can still feel it at night sometimes. I went back yesterday and when I clenched, u could still see my masseters stick out a bit. She said they were strong still. when I clenched ,the right side was softer and the left side was stronger even though the ride side wasn’t as slim as the stronger side. So she put another 50 UNITS each. Will my face be ok?

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

The amount of Dysport used to treat the masseter muscles can vary by individual.  Some people definitely need more than others.  So, by my calculation, you had 90 units of Dysport over 2 treatment sessions to each masseter.  I would not consider this out of the range of normal to treat the masseter muscles and you should get a better result with the higher dose.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

The amount of Dysport you received one and half months apart should give you improvement in your clenching.  You can also anticipate further slimming of the jawline.  The dose will vary for each patient and from your description your injector is tailoring your dose.  The effects of the product typically last three to four months and wear off gradually.
