Asked By:Kristifrank in Park City, UT

I have strong masseter muscles in my lower jaw and am considering botox to soften them, but my dermatologist said it would cause the 'sagging' in my lower face to worsen as the masseter muscles is creating volume. She recommend not doing the botox in the jaw for that reason. Does the loss of the masseter muscle create more sagging?
