I got xeomin injected in my jaw area to slim down my face and the square jaw line. It was done 4 days ago and now when I chew and bite down the muscle protrudes a lot and looks like a big ball. Will this go away and when? What can I do to make it go away? I've been getting Botox in that area since 2007 and this is my first time using Xeomin. Is it safe to get Botox to make the muscle go down again??

Answer: This sometimes happens. I think it's due to muscle irritation and/or swelling, but I cannot be sure. It's happened to a few patients of mine and has occurred with Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport. In my experience, it doesn't matter if I inject in one spot or in 3 (or more) spots. It appears 2-3 days after treatment, and usually goes away after 1 week. Once, I had to re-treat an area with a little more product. Otherwise, it usually gets better, with best results at 2-3 weeks. Please update us!

Answer: Jaw muscle bunching up afew days after Xeomin Hello, "Circa1984," thanks for sharing your experience. I just saw your question and would love to bear back from you what the outcome was of your treatment after it had time to take effect fully. I think it is possible that as one portion of your very large masseter muscle was being affected and relaxing, other portions that either were not injected or not yet affected by what was injected were still active. I usually inject in at least two areas in each masseter muscle because I use very concentrated Xeomin, Botox or Dysport, but a physician who was using very dilute concentrations might inject a larger volume in only one place, in which case you might see an an even onset of effect, although potentially the same effect ultimately.
