Botox to jaw in the long run - permanent?

November 28, 2016
Asked By:beabea91 in New York, NY

i did jaw reduction but my face is still wide and i can see my jaw muscles moving when i clench it. theyre very strong. if i get botox every 6 months, will the muscles be permanently smaller? I know botox is not permanent but im curious if the jaw muscles can be permanently weaker if botox is done frequently Can i chew hard food right after botox or does it not matter?
