Botox Has Damaged my Jaw. (15 Months Later.)

aleks172May 23, 2023

I would like to share my opinion with you regarding the Botox treatment I received for teeth grinding. I had a one-time Botox injection for bruxism.
A few months later, my jaw narrowed and then shortened... My lips decreased in size." Previously, I had a longer jaw (when viewed from the front) from the cheekbone to the jaw. My face has become shorter and more round. "Every day, I regret that decision. It has caused me to experience depressive states currently...My face no longer looks good like it used to, and it probably never will, making it difficult for me to come to terms with. If you're a guy, think twice before undergoing any procedure.

I’m so sorry they didn’t let you know it shrinks jaws. Women know this and get it to make jaws smaller. You should be able to work out the jaw overtime to build muscle back.

This has happened to me too but much much worse. I am distraught, I said I wanted the minimum and my jaw completely disappeared. My face used to be in three equal parts and now I have no longer face. I called the clinic to ask for my consent form and they were so rude :’( NO ONE said anything to me about permanent structural changes. How this is not illegal I do not know.
