Jaw-Slimming with Botox, Age 31 - Washington DC, DC

Super Results!
WORTH IT$775
I have my masseters injected every three months like clockwork. Even though I wear a mouthguard nightly to protect my teeth while grinding, it still puts a lot of pressure on my jaw when I'm asleep. If I don't have the injections on schedule my face becomes a little sore when I wake up, so it's very worth it for me.
For reference, I get about 10 - 12 units inject in each side of my jaw during the appointment.

I'm the same way and I completely agree! It's very painful when you have masseters that are as hard as a rock. It has teletype so much tension.

I don't understand how botox can slim the face. I thought it released or tightened the muscle.

The Botox stops the muscle from "exercising" (chewing) as much as usual. So instead of maintaining it's normal muscle size, the Botox calms down the muscle which causes it to slim down over time.

How often do you maintain it now? Did you do less units of Botox in each side as your jawline gets used to it?

I still go every three months - I started at 20 units on each side and now I experiment with 12, 14, and 16 on each side. A few different injectors have commented that I have particularly "strong" masseter muscles, which is mostly not the case for others. My jaw starts to ache once the Botox wears off do that's when I know it's time to re-up (the ache is due to clenching my teeth while I sleep). Let me know if you have any more questions!

Hi ty! im thinking of getting this at the end of the month!
is it bad if you wait too long in between in each session? Will the botox dissolve and you have to maintain it all over again?
Did you find overtime you could wait longer in between sessions because your muscles were getting used to the botox and you can wait longer before your next appt?

More Photos!
Just updating with some better photos that really show a big difference the shots have had on reducing my facial volume.
The injections have really helped me cut down on grinding my teeth at night (wearing my night guard helps too).

Hi there,
Beautiful results! Just wondering if your lip is caused by the Botox if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks

Sorry for the late reply! My lips are natural and looking weird in these photos, lol. But they are naturally plump!

The botox did NOT cause them to look weird in the pictures, they just look weird lol.
Thanks for updating us after all this time. I'm glad it works so well!
