I would like to know how much and how frequent botox I need to get in my masseter muscles to decrease their size and maintain. I've heard ranges from 20-50 units, and sessions between 3 months to 6 months apart. Please tell me what plan you would formulate for my jaws from what you see in my pics. Keep in mind, the pictures are from close angles so my jaw muscles don't appear as big as they are.

Answer: Botox in masseter Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Botox in the masseter can work extremely well in the right patient. I usually inject 20-30U per side every 4-6 months. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.

Answer: Botox for Masseter Muscles Botox for masseter hypertrophy or enlargement is done 3-6 months apart typically. Starting done is 10 units per side (4shots) but some patients do require more. in order to keep the muscle atrophied (shrunk) it is important to do the whole series of treatments, usually 3 in total.
