What are treatments for temporalis hypertrophy?

January 12, 2021
Asked By:MariePhil2019

I've had a CT scan for my right side of my face and it shows that I have temporal hypertrophy on that side. Looks like I have a swollen head on one side which is super annoying . I've been going from doctor to doctor but either they never treat it . My last doctor told me he didn't have treatment options for that. I'm scheduled to see an oral surgeon in a couple weeks but my question is what are the treatments for an over enlarged temporal muscle? would Medicaid cover this treatment?
