Will Botox for TMJ cause sagging in my cheeks? (photos)

Thank you for sharing your question. It is highly unlikely that Botox into your masseters will result in settling/sagging of your tissues. Hope this helps.

Botox for TMJ should not cause loose skin. We do recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen daily to keep skin healthy. For naturally chubby cheeks you have various options for treatment such as buccal fat removal, Botox, and Morpheus8 treatments. Speak to a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

BOTOX for TMJ issues is a perfect resolution. We treat the masseter muscle with the botulinum aka Botox. As a result the area by the jawline becomes smaller, tighter and more shapely. Typically it is a beautiful side effect.

Do not confuse treating your TMJ joint with treating masseters. Your masseters are more likely the muscles that would cause grinding and clenching of back teeth. Treating them can decrease volume near/above jawline but I have never had problem with sagging/looseness. The TMJ joint is proximal to your ear and treating that has no effect on jawline.
