Botox in Jaw (Masseter Muscle)

6 months post masseter botox

Great news! The botox in my masseter muscles has now worn off by 80-90 %, my face is finally back to normal, if you read this review please please be really careful with masseter botox injection, it could ruin your face shape.. Go really easy on it, start by 10 units each side only. This will be my last review, I thought I owed this update to all readers as i'm sure there will be more unhappy people with masseter botox injection who will be looking for an answer to know if this impact is permanent or will wear off. I need to point out again that I chewed gums 2x of them, one on each side, every day for over an hour very firmly to the point i'd end up with jaw pain. This does really help, if you leave your muscle and not to work them, they will get used to it. so just remember to work them out by chewing lots of firm foods or gums. all the best

ugh I am so jealous!! I wish mine would go back to normal :( I have seen very minor improvement at over 5 months post injections. I've been chewing a lot of gum and even ordered jawzercise but its not doing much :( I had more units than you so maybe that's why?
I had this done for TMJ pain. It worked! However the Botox bled into the ‘smile’ muscle on the right side of my face. I couldn’t smile at all and looked like I was grimacing for months. In fact I suppose it looked like I had had a stroke. Very alarming and embarrassing.
I hate my botox! It continued to shrink for three months. At the three month mark, i began to feel some movement, but my cheekbones are still popping out and have no jawline. I hope that in the next three months i will see improvement. Never again!

5 months post-botox in jawline

So, I can see about 40% improvement on my saggy jowls now, the botox impact seems to have worn off a bit, but there is still a long way to go before I get my normal muscles shape back. I have been chewing 2x big gums for over an hour every day plus plenty of fascial exercise, again, I'd like to express that this treatment is NOT suitable for people who don't have round chubby face like Asians, be extra careful, if you are going to try it, maybe try by 10 units in each side only, every time and wait for 6weeks to see the impact before you add more, this can be life changing in a really negative way

im glad to hear that your jowls are improving! how much improvement have you seen in muscle volume coming back? Update on my masseter botox - Sadly I still don't think it has worn off at all and it's been over 4 months now. It looks even worse now because I gained a little weight (I was underweight before) and now my face looks chubby and I have absolutely no jawline anymore. I can't lose weight because I'm already so skinny. my face used to look nice and angled before the botox because I had a good jawline :( I actually bought a jawzrcise per your comment about it and I think it will work once the botox has worn off because when I use it, I feel it working out other muscles above my masseter and they are sore the next day. Going to weight to use it more so that the other muscles don't grow. but anyways I would love to hear more about your progress and how much your muscles have grown back so far!
well.. I am now over 5 months with my masseter botox, I would say about 40% improvement can be seen, but the jowls are still there which I didn't have before so that indicates that I have a long way to go. I spoke with another Dr. she said to wait for a year but chew gums really hard both sides every day for over an hour to work your muscles. So frustrating, I really miss my pre-botox face :( i'll keep posting updates if any more improvements
Does anyone know how long we should use the jawzercise everyday?

4 months post-jaw slimming botox

Ladies, be really careful with botox for jaw slimming, it can dramatically change your face and takes really long time to wear off, i'm actually starting to think that my muscles may never grow back to norm again :( as it has been 4months post treatment and yet no significant changes, very frustrated and depressed, wish that injectors would tell you about the risks before taking your money and putting you in a lot of misery
