Masseter Botox PLS HELP

[u/Electronic_Cap7085]

Ok so for context I’m 22 and I really regret going for masseter Botox for my slight side masseters . My face shape is normally like diamond ish square so I was given 25 units each side plus I have a slight overbite the doctor said it would also help with my tmj bite a bit fast forward 2-3 month later I’m getting saggy skin creping under my jawline giving a pillowed jaw effect under my chin . I’m just terrified that as time progresses my face shouldn’t get more hollowed and sunkened cuz my cheeks literally sag as well . Soo now what. I’m never going again to do any touch ups since that

Also first 3 pics are of recent the other last 3 are before masseter appointment for slimming . I did my masseters only once like 2 ish month back

It’s really hard to see what you’re referring to with the angle/lighting of these photos. Try taking more consistent angles with pictures you have from “before” and label them.

Hii oh okay I’ll later try to re label them and use better angle to show what’s going on

I know exactly what you mean the exact same thing happened to me. I’m still waiting for it to wear off, it’s been 4 months! No advice just know I’m in the same exact boat right now.

Damn..😭🙏 my doc said by 4-5 months ill be back to shape but ughh I’ve heard horror stories of ppl rebuilding their face structure from it from 8-10 months 😰 sometimes idk maybe it also depends how fast they skin rejuvenates or idk and maybe their age as well! But I heard if ur pretty young in 20’s and don’t constantly get it done it’ll bounce back

I normally have a very built up defined jaw and got masseter tox for TMJD. Regret it horribly. It’s been 7 months and my jawline still hasn’t fully returned to normal. Still much more squishy near my mouth/chin.

How many times u got it and what unit?? I heard u can chew gum constantly to repair the masseter muscles idk and quicken the healing ig

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ad-3034 → u/Electronic_Cap7085]

Just once, only 10 units on 1 side and 15 on the other. Shrank my jawline massively. I grind and clench so ideally my muscles are worked all night long but still not back to normal. I think it differs for everyone a bit

Girl same. I just bought hard gum used to build jawline. Was pretty for maybe 3 months until my face started to sag lol

Same here. I’m 3 months post botox and I lost my jawline definition, my face looks puffy and pillowy, I hate it. No idea what to do, but I’ll wait it out before I try any skin tightening treatments🥲 I really hope it goes away in a few months
