I recently turned 21 and have been interested in getting botox for my TMJ. What are some of the downsides to this treatment? How long do results last? What is the approximate price for this treatment? Any answers are much appreciated. Thank you!
I have had massater botox before and it helped a lot but I cant help but think my natural face structure is just uneven at all angles and makes me very unhappy and self conscience. Is there any treatments you would recommend for me. Photos can be provided
I have had injections in my masseters for two years. I have always done the treatment every 3 months. I started with Juvuea the first 6-9 months than did Botox. I had about 25-35 units injected on each side increasing the dosage during my recent months. My question is given that Ive gone so frequently and that my masseter had been significantly atrophied from before I started my treatment, if I stop treatment will my masseter grow back to original size. I am worried that my muscle has atrophied too much and that my results are permanent and masseter will not be able to regain orginial size. My question is how long will my masseter take to regain orginal size of possible and if my jaw bone is also now affected.
Awhile back I got masseter tox at a clinic for my TMJ where I got 28U on my right (bigger side), 22U on my left (smaller side). Even though it helped with the TMJ, t gave me bad jowls and I really didnt like the look. It also seems like the 5U difference was too much, as my right side ended up being way smaller than the left. Im a lot smaller than the avg person (5ft, 90lbs), so this amount was too much for me, but the consultant kept pushing for 20 minimum. However, when it started to wear off and my masseters regrew (last pic) I REALLY liked the look of it, and my TMJ problems were still fixed! I figured yall would know a lot on dosing, and standard protocol hasnt rly helped me since Im not average sized. So any advice on if I were to do it again, how much to do to get the result of the last pic?
I have limited range of motion in my jaw and tmj/posture/connective tissue/headache issues. I've been stretching my jaw daily, albeit not religiously, but it's had limited success. I was wondering if getting masseter botox would help my stretches be more efficient or have lasting impact? I don't necessarily want to be getting TMJ botox repeatedly for a long time, partially because of the chance my insurance won't cover it. I just want to speed the stretching process a bit.
Recently I have concerns about how fat or heavy my lower face looks especially when I smile. It seems as if my chin juts out a little and the back of my face looks big because of it. I havent really seen anyone else with this problem so I dont understand whats the best way to treat it. Im also very slim so I dont understand why my face looks so heavy. I was wondering if masseter Botox would be able to slim it out since the heaviness is focused on the back of my face
I would like to improve the balance and symmetry of my lower face. I am interested in masseter botox and chin filler, but am concerned on the impact this may have to my chubby cheeks and cause jowling. Would I be a good candidate for masseter botox with chin filler at this time? Would you recommend something else instead?
I grind my teeth at night. Night guards don't work for me. I'm getting botox (or dysport) in my masseter muscle to help. How many units should I get in each side? As a percentage, I only want 20% of my masseter strength/ability gone. Also, should I get dysport, botox, or another type for this situation specifically?
3 months ago I received Botox in my masseters for TMJ. It was my 2nd time, same provider, my ENT doctor. First time we did 20 units per side as I wanted to be conservative, however it did not help much. A couple months later, he did 30 more units per side. My right side looks fine but left side looks horrible. It migrated to one of my smile muscles. I now have a dent in my cheek and lots of new wrinkles near my eye. I get married in April and am terrified it wont be back to normal. Pls advise
