My muscles are not sore at all, I can still clench and bite like nothing happened. And of course no visual result. The problem is I don’t know exactly how much was injected. Is this normal after 1 week? I usually hear peope saying the initial result starts at the 2nd week? So does that mean the muscle only starts to “paralyzed” after 2 weeks?
Answer: Botox for jawline contouring In certain individuals, large masseter muscles can contribute to the appearance of a square jaw. Botox injected into the Masseter muscle can temporarily weaken parts of the Masseter to cause it to shrink in size and make the jawline appear slimmer. As with any muscle, it takes a while for the muscle to start shrinking after it has been paralyzed. Botox usually begins to work ~ 3 days after injection, and it can take up to 2 weeks for the full effect of the Botox to take place. The final effect of the Botox will depend on how large your masseter muscles are and how many units of Botox were used. At 1 week after injection, it is normal not to see a drastic change yet. In instances like this, I would recommend waiting another week, and if you still do not notice an improvement in your jawline then you should visit your injector to see if you would benefit from more Botox.

Answer: Botox to masseters for jaw slimming Thank you for the question and photo. It is too early to say. You can't make any assessment of the result from BOTOX for 2 weeks. It is not uncommon to need more than one treatment when you have a very strong and bulky masseter to start with. In future I would make sure you know more about what is being injected (What product? How much? Where?). Any experienced and reputable injector will not hesitate to discuss this with you. Good luck! Dr Chris Macdonald CRM Aesthetics
