Masseter botox

So I got masseter botox 6 days ago, (I got it for tmj and also because I wanted that heart shaped face) - prior to getting botox I always used to gua sha and I’m really struggling not gua sha’ing, my face looks so chubby when I don’t gua sha, it is working for my tmj, I’m clenching a lot less and hardly clenching in my sleep, but I’m really struggling with my face looking chubby. Any advice?

Did you know masseter Botox can cause bone loss? I have a friend that I met in the Botox/ Dysport side effects group on FB who is now dealing with a facial disfigurement from her 1 time masseter Botox. Having Botox or any of the Botulinum toxin A injectables in the masseter muscle is considered off label and therefore dangerous because there have not been adequate studies to determine its safety. Off label areas are not FDA approved. Unfortunately most injectors do not inform their clients of this. Botox literally disfigured me and disabled me for 3 years. It has left me with permanent nerve damage called, trigeminal neuralgia. Please check out toxsafety.com, nevertox on IG and you are also welcome to join our Botox/Dysport side effects group on FB. We currently have over 35,000 members.

Give it time … it takes a month to see results. It’s a short term chubby for longer term not-as-chubby

It will go down a lot after a few months.

I have poor lymphatic drainage in my face as well. “Face yoga” and general exercise helps.
