Jaw Botox for unsymmetrical jaw- how many units for slimming on one side? (photos)

kels55Jun 8, 2024
I have a very small head/face and due to my bite/teeth being dominant on one side, my jaw one only one side has grown very large. I am interested in massater botox to fix before my wedding but have already lost facial fat causing cheek wrinkles, so ideally only want to slim the larger side a little. How many units recommended for each side? Dr said it’s too risky to do only 1 side but I don’t want to lose more volume on my small side as it already has a little sag due to fat loss. Thank you!

Many patients report improvement in TMJ symptoms after Botox injections. The treatment is done in the office with full effect after two weeks. The product benefits will gradually fade over three to four months. See an expert injector near you for treatment.

I'm sorry you are having issues with your Botox treatment. It may take some time as the Botox wears off for the muscles to rebuild back to your prior appearance. You can consider other treatments such as fillers to help in the meantime.

In order for you to determine if you are a good candidate for masseter Botox it is important to set up an appointment or a consultation with your provider. Your provider will be able to assess you in person and see how strong your masseter muscle is.
