I had 25 units of botox injected to each masseter muscle last year, but never saw any significant difference. It did shrink slightly, but not by enough. Do I need to get more injected this time?

Answer: Botox for Masseter Reduction It is not unusual to need a second treatment of Botox approximately 2 weeks after the first treatment to optimize the result for Botox reduction. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Good Luck!

Answer: 25 units of Botox injected in each masseter but see no difference Thank you for your question. There are two possibilities for your results, the dosing was appropriate but a single dosing alone is unlikely to lead to significant atrophy, and more regular masseter injections are needed, while the other option is that 25 units was not a sufficient amount of Botox for the masseter and a higher amount would be needed to have effect. Voice your concerns with your injector they should be able to help you attain the goals you want.
