Can Botox in the masseter muscle, affect my smile?
ElsamezeJan 21, 2016
I´ve used botox as a treatment for bruxism and hypertrophia of the masseter since 3 years, every 5-6 months. I´ve noticed it works less each time, I guess I may be developing antibodies? After my last inyection I´m having difficulties to smile and my facial expression has changed (very obvious in pictures). Could this be related to botox in my masseter muscle? I thought masseter didn't intervene in facial expression. Thank you very much !!
