Is 19 too young for Botox for non-comestic reasons?

March 3, 2021
Asked By:HuhThatsWeird432 in The Woodlands, TX

I suffer from TMJ. I get headaches, tinnitus, my jaw pops every time I open my mouth etc, but is manageable. I was looking at possibly getting Botox as a last- resort option, but I am worried I might be too young to start it. One side is bigger than the other because of TMJ, and I know Botox can atrophy these muscles so my jawline can be more symmetrical, another benefit I was also looking at. Primarily though, I am looking for some relief from my TMJ. Is 19 too young to get Masseter botox?
