Botox masseter after jaw reduction surgery.

Hello and thank you for your question. Botox injection into the masseter can be very effective in this situation and can be safely performed at this point.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for your question. Botox works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can then no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. Botox can be used in the master muscle to help contour the face. I recommend checking with your surgeon first as he/she may want you to wait till you are completely healed from surgery. Best of Luck!

You can do botox again in about 3 months. I would refer to your surgeon and see what he/she says.
