I've always had TMJ and a strong jawline. While 25 units of botox to each side slimmed my face too much, the plus side is that my TMJ disappeared entirely for the first 3 months following treatment. Now my TMJ has returned, but my masseters are still not visible. Can someone please advise as to how much longer it will take for the masseters to reappear? I'm super close to getting filler to help with my proportions, but I'd hate to do this if my masseter starts coming back one week later...

Answer: Botox injections for masseter hypertrophy Neuromodulator treatments like Botox and Dysport are temporary lasting 3-4 months on the upper face and 4-6 months for the masseters. The treatments need to be repeated to maintain results. Since your results lasted 3 months, you need to get your masseters injected with Botox every 3 months or 4 times a year.

Answer: Treating TMJ The fact that your TMJ has returned 3 months following the treatment using Botox, indicates that your body breaks down Botox within the masseter muscle in approximately 3 months. The masseter muscle does not disappear and return, it's simply retains its strength after the botox wears off. You should put yourself in a regular schedule of Botox injections every 3 months and I'm sure this will help you a great deal. Good luck from New York City
