Is it safe to have Botox & kenalog steroid injection inserted into the same muscle?

April 14, 2023
Asked By:Original876956 in San Jose, California

I'm in a lot of pain for my TMJ but my next round of botox isn't due for another entire month i'm desperate and wondering if I can get a steroid injection into the muscle while I wait for the next round despite already having botox in it. Thank you.

Camille Cash, MD says:

From your photos you appear to be a candidate for chin Botox. It should soften the dimpling appearance. The treatment is done in the office with final results seen after 14 days. They will fade gradually over three to four months typically. See an expert injector near you for treatment.
