Botox for Jaw line. Will I be able to eat food regularly? It is hard to chew for 2-3 days?

Botox masseter treatments will typically slim the lower face and reduce the bulk of a hypertrophic masseter muscle. Some people will notice some fatigue or discomfort early on when eating a very chewy meal such as a large steak. However, the temporalis muscle usually compensates over time and this effect is reduced. In properly selected patients masseter injections can create dramatic very pleasing changes in facial shape and balance. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Hi Lovelycat,If performed properly, you should be able to eat food normally after having Botox masseter muscle reduction.  As with any aesthetic treatment it is of utmost importance that you choose your treating physician very carefully based on their skill, experience, and artistic vision.  Good luck and be well.Dr. P
