Asked By:lebanesered in Miami, FL

Hello I had issues with clenching in my sleep which was adding bulk to my already wide face my main reason was cosmetic also one side of my masseter was bigger than my left I started off with 25 units on each side I saw little to no change, Went back again 50 units on each side total and no change I’m thinking my jaw is too strong for Botox or my body does not like Botox is it possible to get a higher dose on each side? muscles are hard you can feel the bulk this is not fat at all.
