I am getting treated with botox for tmj since I constantly clench my jaw and grind my teeth. I am only getting ten units on either side of my jaw and ten units on either side of my temples which will help with headaches. 40 units total. Will I still get a slimming effect from this many units or would it require more? Will my temples also slim down?! I am very confused as to how this would work.

Answer: Botox For Jaw Slimming and TMJ Hi Amanda. Your question can not be appropriately answered without first examining you and evaluating the strength of your jaw and temple muscles. In general, jaw slimming and TMJ requires an average of 20-25 units of Botox to the masseter muscles and 10-15 units to the temples. However, depending on the strength of your muscles more may be needed. Often, it may take a couple of sessions to determine the suitable dose for you. This is an advanced injection technique so make sure you are under the care of an experienced physician injector to minimize complications. Best wishes.
