What is the Correct Way to Inject Botox for Jaw/masseter Contouring?

March 22, 2013
Asked By:amimatron

I had botox (Allergan brand) 20 units per side, about 2 weeks ago. But I dont see any slimming on my jaw area. I asked the doctor how deep is he injecting through the jaw muscle. He said he's using the same needle like length for wrinkles. He made marks on where to inject the needle. He said the botox will dissolve down to the jaw muscle. Is that the correct way to inject botox on the masseter for face conturing? Thank you
