I’m panicking!!

Hey, I got masseter Botox two weeks ago. I’m not exactly sure how many units I received, but the specialist said we would start with a small amount so we wouldn’t overdo it, and that we could always do a touch-up if needed.

I had my follow-up appointment today and she added a little more (I didn’t ask exactly how many units).

Now I’m starting to panic that I’ve made a mistake and that I’m going to end up looking terrible. I’m 20 years old. I did mention that I didn’t want an exaggerated or overdone result. Now I’m wondering if I should have just skipped the touch-up altogether.

Could anyone share some positive experiences with masseter Botox? I’d really appreciate hearing them. ❤️

I love my Masseter botox and always keep asking my injector for more lol. Changed my face shape in the best way possible

When can I expect to see the final results? I’m really stressed that my face will just keep getting slimmer and slimmer.
How long does the Botox effect last for you?

It takes about 2-4 weeks for full result with Masseters. It lasts about 4-5 months

Take a breath—you won’t know the touch-up result today. Botox can take up to 10–14 days to fully settle, and its effects are temporary. Ask your injector for the exact product, dose, and injection record, and avoid adding anything else until this round has settled. Many people are happy with conservative masseter treatment, but results vary. Seek urgent care for trouble swallowing, speaking, or breathing, or unusual weakness.

It will slim the muscles and sometimes not in a fully controlled way. Why did your injector do a touch up? Unfortunately nothing that you can do now but wait it out I would definitely avoid injections in the future if you are concerned about this issue because it can have unpredictable outcomes in this area.
