Botox to my massater muscle got rid of my dimples, will they ever come back?

Question

I really loved my dimples and now the gone after having botox. Any chance the will come back?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Masseter injections should not change your dimples as dimples are formed from smiliing which are controlled by different muscles than the chewing muscles.  I suggest you see a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in jawline botox injections.  Masseter injections should last 3-4 months.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question.  As Botox effects are only temporary, in 3-4 months your dimples should return with no further treatments.  If you like the appearance that the masseter muscle injections gave you, try a different pattern of injections on a subsequent treatment.  It may be able to give you the jaw results you are looking for while keeping your dimples.

The effects of Botox will last 3 months. Your massater muscle contributed to the formation of dimples.   The effects of botox will will start to wear off in 2-2.5 months.  Rest assured you will see your dimples reappear.  Best wishes

Due to the temporary results of Botox, the changes you see should wear off eventually in a few months.

Edwin Ishoo, MD · Answer

Botox injection of the massater should not affect dimples but if you feel that Botox diminished your dimples, then avoid any further Botox treatment of that area and you should see the dimples return 3-4 months after the Botox treatment when it wears off.
