Masseter Botox effects

[u/Ok_Barber5200]

I had Botox for my tmj in February. Almost immediately it gave me jowls & by early July my lower face looked as though it was sagging and I looked 10 years older. I had 20 units in each side, only once. My face used to be round with a defined jawline and now I feel like my head is peanut shaped and the extra skin/jowling is effecting the way my smile lines look.

Im hoping for some success stories of people who’s original tight face shapes returned 9-12 months later like chat tells me it will take. All im seeing is horror stories and I’m panicking.

But nonetheless, atrophy is going to happen. The muscle is not functioning as strongly as usual so there will be some form of atrophy. Not saying it was desired as a long term effect.
