Every 4 months is outrageous for the massetter muscle ! I get mine done as far out as every 10 months for 2 years now with 15 units each side and I’m ok. I think the moral of this video is: don’t over do your injections in such short time spans for the massetter. Especially since you were still new to getting this done the dermatologist should’ve never suggested that amount in such short time. 🤦♀️
how many units of botox the first time????
HuSs I did 20 units each side my first time but I’ve kept them to 10 (right) & 15(left) units now since they aren’t big anymore
con or can a i ask you something more by whatsapp?
Does masseter botox cause sagging of the face?
a month a go i just did 25 and 25....until now i dont see any changes
Such a valuable contribution to the massater, Botox and bruxism dialogue. Thank you for posting. It’s refreshing to hear an honest review.
When you showed the after photo my jaw dropped. I have teeth grinding and jaw pain so this is really helpful, so thank you for sharing.. I’m glad you’re past it now!
I’m so sorry this happened to you. We do these things spending money to be better versions of ourselves and then something happens that makes us so insecure. I’m so glad you shared this story.
Sadly most people are insecure about their looks and about ageing that’s why they do it. Stay natural 👍
You saved my life! I was getting masseter botox for 2 years and realized my face was becoming like the post-botox photo you showed us in the video. I literally thought I was just aging and didn't realize it was the botox until I came across your video. Stopped for 1.5 years and my face is back to normal. so THANK YOU!!
Then what is the accurate time duration gap should we take after first botox done?
@@adritakhanom7567 I think it depends on the person and the amount you're putting in. I was doing it every 4 months (60-80 units each time which I think for me was too high for a short span). It looked really good the first year and was so happy that my face looked slimmer. After about the 4th? time, my face was slimmer but my jaws looked saggy and I just looked older.
@@ayaka7237 oh my god. Is there any alternative way to look face slimmer? And what unit you suggest is normal ?
After that did you started taking masseter botox again ?
@@ayaka7237 did you after 4 month you face getting wider again thats why you took messeter botox or you took it to maintain the slimmer look ?
This is what happened to me too
It’s because you went back so many times and got it done too much, I got it done 3 years ago once, my jaw is still smaller then it was, after a whole 3 years, but it has grown a little larger, I’m wanting to go back and get it done again, but I would NEVER go back 3 times a year, that’s just ridiculous, they were clearly just money grabbers and wanted you to spend your money by saying bullshit to you
you are supposed to go back every 3-5 months (depends when yours wears off) You literally see your muscle movement come back after 3 months lol...
George Not really,muscles won’t hypertrophy right away after it begins to contract
Theyve done studies in animals and they permanently lost parts of the jaw bone, not all of it regenerated. Since then I dont want it done peoples faces look so scary when they over do it. Like the scream mask.
I've always wanted a slimmer jaw and the only solution I saw was injections even though I was scared of getting them. But my friend recommended me to try a lifting band first and see how it works. Surprisingly it worked! Like 2 weeks using it, I could already see my jaw become slimmer. Super glad I gave it a try instead of going straight to injections cause it's all natural!
@@emmalin236 How much did you get yours for?
Holy moly Amy!!! I’m sooo glad you’re okay and feeling confident again now! That is some scary experience! I’ve never heard of this side effect before so thank you for sharing!!
Elisa & Eve Yen thanks for watching my video!! Yes, it’s sooooo crazy. Eeeeekkkkkkk
Thank you very much for sharing your story with supportive pictures! People need to know. ❤ You look healthy and radiant now!
Note to self, just get one and then do it again once it dissolves
How long does it take to wear off
@@TelzAll It will vary from person to person. You can get an MRI to see if it has dissolved. I got fillers and they lasted 10 years. I would personally never use Botox. If I wanted something, it would be dysport.
@@nutech1810 why do you say that? Im curious is dysport better?
My injector lady told me i only need to get it done once a year, i havent gotten it done yet, wanted to do research
@@nutech1810 Why would you never use botox?
Perhaps you metabolize Botox very slowly and having your masseters treated on a clock work schedule rather than waiting to see how long before it wore off could have contributed to to this issue.
Meranda Sue yes, I think this was def part of the issue too!
Oh my gosh, this is what's happening to me and I didn't realize!! Thank you for posting this
That sounds so scary girl! I am so happy that you rebounded. Ps the production quality of this video is 👌👌
Non_toxic Green it was!! But it was also a great learning lesson and I’m so glad I went through it. And thanks so much for your kind words about my video!!! 😭🥰❤️ means so much. I try to put a lot of effort into these videos for you guys so they’re high quality and fun to watch!!!
omg thank you so much for sharing! I was thinking of having this procedure. You’re absolutely gorgeous btw!
Omg thank you so much for sharing this🙌🏼🙌🏼 I’ve been thinking about getting this procedure done for a while, but I will definitely tread more carefully now that I know this!
Sigrid Larsson everyone reacts differently, so this may not happen to you, but I’m so glad you’re treading cautiously becaus I would hate for this to happen to anyone else!!!! Ps. Thanks for watching my video! Means so much to me!!!!!
Hi did you do this
Wow, I’m so happy that you’re on the road to recovery. I’m done with Botox myself! My right eye was affected with Ptosis. Personally for me after this experience, I’ve decided that I’m going to continue growing older naturally( I’m 53). It’s not worth all that can possibly happen with Botox. I know that some of the side effects are temporary, but other side effects can be permanent. Thank you for making this video!
Amy, you've saved me again! I was thinking about doing this and had no idea that could be a side effect. Thank you so much for posting this.
Dev G i wish more people talked about the side effects of Botox. All you ever hear are the good things! Anyways, im so glad you found this video helpful!! We’re you thinking of doing this for facial contouring or teeth grinding or both?
@@bondenavant Both but honestly, I wouldn't have thought about doing it if it weren't for the aesthetic change. My husband has a great dentist - Dr. Hirschinger in Beverly Hills - who does mouth guards for TMJ and a surprising side effect was it helps with swelling. I might have to get one! Have you thought about doing a video on how anxiety affects your face? I just learned it can cause fine lines around the lips and now I have anxiety about that. Ugh the mid-30s are like a worse version of puberty!
Haha so true about mid 30s. It’s like this whole face shift all over again. I know anxiety for sure has affected my face. Now that I take CBD daily for anxiety, my face is smoother and I look and feel brighter and more youthful.. less stress and inflammation I think.
My dentist said once a year is okay
@@bondenavant what is CBD for anxiety and is it prescription or where do you buy it? Also, do you still get injections now?
Btw love the layout of the video. Love how you are just sitting on the floor and talking like talking to a friend 🤗
yes!! thats what i'm going for. I want it to be casual and fun. :))))) glad you love the format too!!!
omg I would've had no idea this could happen. I thought u were going to say u couldn't move your jaw anymore lol. happy its gone back to normal, loved the style of this vid too xx
Thanks for sharing your experience. What a scary thing to go through. Thank you for your honesty and I'm glad you're feeling better. ♥️ Btw, I love the style of this video. I feel like I'm sitting listening to a friend. ♥️♥️♥️
Robyn 112 yesss!! That’s totally what I’m going for!! :)) just me hanging out with all of my friends talking beauty. Xoxox thanks so much for watching my video and supporting me. Means the world to me.
bondenavant you're welcome 😊
I had done this with more units and with less..I once became really slim and didnt like the efect so I cgewed gum for a couple of weeks and got more volume in my face..I think the secret is ,just use the minimum amount required,It wont last as long,but the results are great from the start..I dont even use masseter botox,since it is stronger,I get regular botox you would use on the forehead ,and it still works perfectly fine
I’m actually so glad that you made this video. I got masseter Botox today for the very first time and I got 25 units on each side and the nurse that injected me suggested that I come back every 4 months. I think I’ll wait up to 6 months to see the full effects before touching up. Thank you!
How do you like your results?
I’m getting mines Monday
I have 30 units in each side and go every 6 months with great results and no issues
@@PrettyMonroee how did your come out?
@@babymamaz9871 it came out great I did 20 units and my face started looking slim and more feminine after about a month. I just did a touch up 1 week ago
By the way, you looked lovely in your wedding photo. I'm so sorry these side effects happened to you.
Lynx Lefay omg you’re so sweet!! Thank you!!!
i get 15 in each side every 6 months and my jaw is so slim, no issues. i’m so sorry you had a bad experience! the injector’s skill definitely matters a lot for this one!! also unless you have super strong masseter muscles, you probably don’t need more than 20, 25 units on each side
Hi!!! This was my favorite video loved the edits!! And wow Botox is scary
omggggg that means so much!!! Thanks for watching Jinny!! Yes...trying to get better and improve my edits. I'm slowly getting there. And yes, botox is scary..sigh..i dont think i will ever do botox again...looking forward to seeing you tonight!
Thank you for sharing your experience! So sorry and it's horrible what you went through? 🥺 I am glad that you are okay now! Didn't know Botox can have such crazy side effects!
Amy Tong thanks for watching my video!! I’m glad botox isn’t permanent. Eeek! Botox is scary... have you ever tried it?!
@@bondenavant It is super scary! I tried it on my forehead before my wedding years ago. So true, glad that Botox is not permanent! Gotta think twice about certain cosmetic procedures! :)
Were you happy with the results?!
@@bondenavant I was happy, overall. I wished it would last a bit longer. After watching your video, I guess it's a good thing that it didn't last that long! 😅
That was scary experience! Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I think I have an appreciation for my natural beauty today. I went in for a consultation and was gonna get Kybella + Botox to slim my face . I chickened out and didn’t do anything. Throughout the day I kept checking out my face every time I passed a mirror and I thought I looked very pretty the way I am. 😬 thank you for your video .
kybella is a bad bad thing especially to your kidneys. botox is ok, because it lasts 3 months, after which you need a break to actually rebuild your muscle in order to avoid side effects she had
Kybella is awful, plus little to no results. And yes, terrible for your kidneys as well. Botox however, by the right injector is amazing.
@@attabanana4709 Can you explain why Kybella is bad? I have been considering it for my under
Only difference she did it for medical purposes.
@@cookiedough9501 I’m such a liar- I just got this done 2 months ago. Lol. My results were great. Happy
Thank you for being so honest! This was a really good and informative video.
Thank you for making this video, its giving me hope that my face will return to normal. My face is ruined by the botox and I look like I have jowls now, Im only 25 and I miss my old face. The botox helped my grinding but it is not worth it at all.
I am totally in the same situation. You were told to do it three times a year. I was told by one doctor in Bangkok to do it every month and I did that for 3 months. What shocked me was the crazy change of my skin (around the cheeks and jaws). It became so saggy and I never realized it was because of the jawline botox treatments (that were overdone). Lesson learned and as I am just waiting for it to wear off and in the meantime, I would need a treatment to tighten my skin. Thank you for the video!
P.S. I originally did it for my teeth grinding problem for years and started to like the effect of the oval shape of my face. Now I need to find other ways to relax my jaws at night time without botox 😅
Have you found another way? Because of teeth grinding i got serious saggy jaw.. what to do now?
This was so informative 🙌 definitely a PSA. Loved your sense of humour here too
hmm101alot Lol thanks
I've had this treatment 5 times so far - none of the side effects you've mentioned ever happened to me. I get smaller doses though - around 15 units on each side but my face used to be way bulkier than yours and my masseters huge. I'm really happy with it.
I'm really glad its been working out for you! just goes to show that botox can affect people so differently! Was your masseter big from teeth grinding??
@@bondenavantThanks for your reply! No, I've never really had an issue with teeth grinding but was told that my large masseters can be genetic. I used to have really bulky, square jaw and hated it so this treatment has been a blessing for me. Now my face has rounder/softer features and slimmed down, which I'm happy about. Kisses :).
Marta XO i am terrified now, I had Dysport, like 20 units equivalent to botox, I did it because of severe jaw pain. How long does it take to go away? My face is like hers right now. Squarish, I have never had refined cheeks, anyway, when will this go away.
She said it took 3 years
How much did the injections cost?
I’m glad you’re looking like your normal self and gained function back. Botox can be a great treatment for severe bruxism but, yes, it is a tender balance and risks are always present. I hope you are protecting your teeth with a proper night guard. Most dentists can make custom guards to protect your teeth AND your TMJ. Some know more than others so ask your dentist or look online for dentists who treat TMJ. Best of luck! Dr Heday, DDS
I now have a mouth guard for my clenching, but after 2 months my face has hollowed and I look gaunt. I came here wondering if my masseter muscle atrophy has caused it. My dentist said my face shape wouldn’t change. I asked him to take a before pic and see if after my next appt. If it changed. I have the answer. It did. I wonder why he acted like he never heard of such a thing.
@@rhondas3017 That’s interesting. I have never seen that either. I would definitely speak to a facial plastic surgeon to assure your muscles are doing ok. It’s not normal for muscles to change by wearing guard over a few weeks, so something else might be going on. Best of luck and I hope everything works out.
i get it mainly for my clenching at night which gave me really horrible tension headaches, so i was worried a bit starting this video, but i usually only get it again when i feel the headaches come back. i'm sorry it gave you such trouble though, i never noticed any face shape changes in myself since my cheeks are pretty chubby, but i'll keep an eye out.
I'm sure you've gotten loads of comments though about everyone's individual experience. good to know not to overdo it though!
i had a similar experience with 1 botox injection to my masseter muscle. my lower cheeks started drooping massively. I have to wait several months for it to fully go away, after my masseter muscle regains it's size. All plastic surgeons say that botox masseter injection WILL NOT CAUSE SAGGING but it does!
so excited that you decided to start a youtube channel! always loved your instagram stories and love seeing these longer videos from you. i totally didn't know this was a thing that people did and found it super interesting, thanks for sharing your story!!
Christine Huang thank you so much for your continued support 😭🥰 it means so much to me. And I’m so glad you’re enjoying my RUclips channel! Any topics you want me to cover? Lmk xoxoxoxooxxoox
@@bondenavant I'd love to see a morning and nighttime skincare routine video, always love seeing what people are using 😊
Okay!! I can do that! Great idea. Thanks!!
Thank you for sharing your story - this isn’t talked about enough!
Thanks for sharing your experience and being so honest about this!
hellolindasau of course!!!!!!! I just hope it helps somebody out there!!!
Shame on your injector, I haven't gotten it yet but when it was suggested to me, she told me I only needed to get it once a year.
Thanks a lot for sharing your personal experience to us it was quite tough but it was truly beautiful...
Thank you for making this video! I’m going to venture this procedure in the near future & now know to proceed with caution! X
How did it go? I was going to get it done too but after this video I decided not to. Too risky. And I’d still need to wear a mouth guard no point.
Hello dear :)) omg those side effects were kinda scary but thank you for sharing your story, I was about to do some Botox for my masseter muscles/jawline too. I’m happy to hear that your muscles are coming back stronger and built it back as before now ❤️ Hm... also I was wondering ..the Botox that you used ...was it the Botox- Botulinum toxin type A or did you use another type of Botox for masseter muscles ? Thank you and you have such a pretty smile 😊
You definitely need to be firm with asking for less amounts vs what most places recommend! I’ve been to 2 different places and both pushed me to do (30-40 units on each side) causing these side effect. The 1-2 times when I was happy w the results was when we only did 15 units on each side/ 2 shots instead of 4 and spaced it out at least 6 months. From now on, I’m NOT listening to them telling me I can do more for longer results… that’s bullshit!
JUST to clarify… so you recommend to get 15 units in total both sides… but that 15 spaced out in 2 treatments 6 months apart from each other ??? Just wondering what to ask my derm to do 😅
I’m so sorry this happened to you. I'm surprised that it actually took so long to get your original face shape back! All plastic surgeons told me that Botox will wear off in a few months so it should be a fast recovery. Much worse than I thought.
No it will not if you have done it multiple times.
Oh what a nightmare! I’m so sorry but relieved that your face got better 😢
Good to know. I wanted to get this for my jaw clenching/headaches. I wasn't planning on getting it done more than once a year though.
Thanks for the video! Love that u talk about the downsides of this. However can you pls in the future lower the effect sounds they are so loud compared to your talking.
LinneaK ohhh ok!
How scary u had to go threw that thanks to telling your story because it's so true sometimes we get so attached that we want more and then we dont know what could happen to us..
Yay!!! Love you on RUclips!!! xoxoxox
Erika Vieira thanks babe!!!!!! 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
I went to my dentist for the tmj botox treatment and I enjoy my progress. Dentists go through a lot of training on facial muscles groups and nerves so I trust them more than cosmetic clinics. Since this is a medical condition (tmj), I only want injections in the masseters, not facial contouring (which involves more muscle groups).
EDIT:
Also people need to understand muscles do shrink over time when not being used to its full potential and the dose needs to be adjusted based on the muscle size. Everyone’s muscle size is different. If you are a small person, then consider start with a smaller dose. Botox blocks the neurotransmitters being released causing muscle not contract (aka paralysis). You want this effect in moderation because you still need the muscles to partially work, so identifying the correct dose for YOUR muscle size is important. The more you inject, the more paralytic effects causing the muscles to shrink giving you that sick/sunken facial look (because when you don’t use your muscles they weaken/shrink over time).
As a pharmacist who is very focused on dosing and timing, I started out at 25 units on each side for 2 treatments, and now I’m down to 20 units each side for the last two treatments. I give 6 months in between injections for the Botox proteins to fully washed out of my body and also this gives time for my muscles to regain some mass. I dropped the units because my masseter muscles are not as big as they used to be and there is no need for extra amount of Botox.
I communicated this with my dentist and has been working out great for me. I do not look any different facially, I just can’t clench as hard and eat chewy things as well as I used to be.
Yes! My injector is a dentist but has also studied extensively dermatology and aesthetic nurse training.
My dentist apparently didn't know that my swelling was from my glands, not my masseters. So basically make sure you figure yourself out first. I thought I did, I went to the doctor and a chiropractor, but I should've went to an ENT I guess. And even if they seem to know a lot, doesn't mean they are good at it. Mine injected pretty high for some reason and he's done this a lot. I was his first patient to experience what I did, lucky me.
@@kandicespecht4939 sorry to hear that… I have been going to a dentist for my Botox for 2 years now and haven’t had issues. He spends a solid minute or 2 first having me flex my masseters while he marking on my jaw. Once he is done then he has me flex the muscles again while injecting. Compared to my experience at a cosmetic clinic previously, the nurse at the cosmetic clinic never took the time to identify my masseter locations she just went for the jawline (even though I told her I just want my jaw muscles to relax not contouring).
@@sw33tm3 thank you for replying. He did have me flex, but didn't mark it and when I came back to address an issue, he said he was trying to make sure he got it and that this was the first time this has happened. He also doesn't understand smile muscles, so I won't be going back to him. Even though I had a side effect, he still wanted to do 10 more on each side. I'm just thankful I didn't go back for that because it did it's job and more with 15 on each side.
I have TMD and my dentist said I should get Botox as treatment but am afraid the Botox will further ruin aesthetics of my jaw.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It helps us better understand the pros and cons
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the information. I cant say I've ever wanted to do anything like this. But love staying informed on it.
Tracey Wagganer thanks for checking out my video!!! Xoxoxo
@@bondenavant your welcome
I think it really depends on peoples bone structure and fat deposits when it comes to botox. Ive been getting botox in my law for almost 2 years now and dont have any problems besides slight facial slimming. It has really changed my life when it comes to pain. I think its important to find someone that knows a lot about the facial structure like a plastic surgeon to assess how much someone needs or if they need it and what the effects will be.
Also id like to add that when i get botox i dont get enough to complete paralyze the muscle. Theirs still some movement and strength so the muscle doesn’t completely atrophy.
wow this was super helpful, I've been considering this treatment and this has made me rethink it a bit. thank you!

Hi I just want to say that you are very brave for sharing this and it’s very informative!🙏🏼 just be careful with Ultherapy because my mom had it done and it definitely made her facial muscles atrophy more so it possibly aggravated it
Great video!! Very informative. Thank you
Thanks for this video. My dentist told me to get some botox, cuz I cannot have veneers on my teeth because of grinding and clenching. But I'm a male and if I lose my jaw it ain't gonna look good. Jawline fillers may help, but I don't wanna have a bucket of filler injected in my face afterwards.
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing your story. It needs to be heard and made aware that negative side effects can happen with any type of injectable even if it is deemed “safe”. The first time I got Botox was my forehead and crows feet... 23 units total (not very much). I went to a very reputable doctor (done injectables for over 25+ years) and company. I had horrible headaches for 10 days and went to urgent care because they were so bad ( couldn’t work and stayed in bed... I felt like my head was being crushed) but urgent care really couldn’t do anything for me. So few cases of negative effects have been reported. They think it was an allergic reaction or triggered a migraine which I don’t have a history of ever having and I’m healthy (I take no medicine only vitamins). It is very rare to have a negative reaction to botox and it is not reversible so I had to wait it out. 😢😫 I did love the results after the headaches were gone. I was told by urgent care doctor I could have migraine like flare ups later on in the future due to what had happened.... “trama”. I need to stay away from Botox. I know there are less strong injectables out on the market that claim to have the same results as Botox like Dysport. Just because “everybody” is doing it doesn’t mean you have too try it. Do your research before getting any procedure done. ❤️❤️❤️
Try retin A instead. Sorry this happened to you.
it’s not rare
This is crazy! I get Botox all the time in my jaw muscle and I never had this issue. Every 4 months. I also took anavar when I was young and dumb. I feel like my face changed and Botox has given me my feminine face again. Maybe it just depends on the person. Thanks for the video though 👏🏼
You should ideally only need to get it done once. The teeth grinding at night that contributes to the hyperatrophy needs to be addressed with a good quality night guard from the dentist. The muscles only enlarge if your top and bottom teeth rows are making contact. A night guard corrects that. So.....one botox treatment maximum combined with a proper night guard and being more aware of your daytime grinding habits should be all you need.
Just getting the botox treatment without a nightguard is completely counterproductive, and puts more money in the pockets of the plastic surgeons.
Hi. What would you suggest would be the maximum amount of units per side?
Wow thanks for that! I was naive enough to think I would be throwing out my night guard after this procedure. I don’t think I will bother with it after all it’s too risky.
Omg this is exactly what happened to me!!!! My face literally looked identical to the way yours looked. So happy to see you looking healthy and gorgeous! I had the treatment done two years ago and my face is slowly recovering as well (thank God). This is not something that just “wears off” after a few months.
Yeah took me 3 years to get most of my muscle back..
@K Υ I can’t remember exactly but it was half the recommended dose. Very small amount
Did you only have it done once and this happend?
@@tatanyagraham7348 yes and very few units. The Dr. Gave me 1/4 of normal dose. I didn’t have large masseters to start with, I really wasn’t a good candidate.
I only had it done once and regret it so much. So ageing, 4 yrs later still lacking muscle and look so much older.
I am going through what you are talking about. I started to wonder why my face hanging down like a bull dog, I did jaw Botox 3 times within half year! Now I am chewing gums and all to make my facial muscle returns. Hope I have happy ending like yours
was it done by the same provider? steer clear of him.
@@martaxo1625 yes ‘ no more seeing this doc
Hi how is it now? Did it go back to normal with chewing gum?
@@miya8198 No, I got saggy skin after that. I had to get facelift. Botox cant be used anywhere except upper face.
OMG Thank you sooo much for that!!! I was thinking about getting one but now I won't. xoxox
This was great because my Dentist is really up-selling me on this treatment for TMJ with tons of reassurances about how there are no side effects. Welp... Thanks for posting.
This is actually very common and I am glad you brought this to light. I am not sure if it's mainly on the Asian face, but my Korean hairstylist and a Vietnamese injector both had the same experience with jowling after getting Botox. They said they now avoid Botox in their masseters because its not worth it. However I do think the amount of jaw reduction in yourself was quite an extreme case. Frankly, I would rather have a wide and youthful jawline rather than a slim jawline with slight jowling. Trust me, it ages you and it will drive you nuts! This is coming from women in their 30's. Please be careful.. injections can be a quick fix but you don't want to go down the rabbit hole.
Did both of their faces recover from the jowling?
@@gigikimmie yes, definitely the injector recovered. I believe my hairstylist doesn't have jowling anymore.. but she has a bit of loose skin in the area. Might just be genetic. 🤷♀️
Yeah im hoping i dont have to continue with the jaw botox as i get older and as the facial fat on my face fades. I have very strong jaw muscles so i dont have any worries about them growing back.
Yes I got the same and deep nasolabial folds and my skin looked like a 60 year old in my early 20s. I’m happy having a wider face than unsupported skin
@@versacegang4140 did you Mrs go back to normal?
I think you should have waited (after the 1st one) just to see how your body metabolized the Botox. He also did say that the results were from a study.
i know its her doctor's fault
Christiana Greece doctor’s fault and hers as well. She had a huge amount of Botox injected and then the Ultherapy on top of it? Something that’s known to thin the skin and lessen the fat... not smart at all. I wonder if a doctor recommended this? Sculptra would have been a far better choice ... and having some patience!
@@ebocaner i knoww! but even if she asked for it,the doctor should have said no
Erica Bocaner what about microcurrent?
Erica Bocaner sculptra is not a good idea. It is pretty permanent. What about when the botox grows back? Shave your face? Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved at least when the muscle atrophies or it dissolves naturally in some people.
This is so crazy!!!! The pictures are 😱😱😱. Thanks for sharing!!
thanks for watching!! I know..i look like a completely different person. its so scary
That dermatologist sounds extremely irresponsible
Such a great, informative video! I loved it :) I want to try it for myself anyway, but I'm definitely not going to repeat it in the same year after hearing your experience.
Adrianna Pierzycka yes!! Go slow for sure! But I’m so glad you’ve had a good experience with it. Everyone reacts differently
Did you try it? Any side effects?
Wow thanks for sharing this. I had 20 units on each side to masseter once and this was enough to make my jowls and marionette lines sag. I looked 10 years older. I was very miserable.
I had the Profound procedure done (which was very expensive for me) but it did helped
What is the profound procedure?
@@nikkia8259 Profound is radiofrequency (RF) microneedling for face and body
The same thing happened to me. I had no idea this was causing it. I never even wanted my jaw treated but the injector recommended it to tighten my jawline. It was the first time I ever did it. And I am very sensitive to botox.
I noticed within weeks that my face which is already tiny and slim, had completely shrunk. I was looking more gaunt and thinner as well. Almost unrecognizable. I thought it was related to aging but no, this was weeks after I got botox along my jaw. I even thought my chin was dissolving. There was way more hallowing around my face. I looked like I aged about an extra ten years. I'm so glad I found your video. I will never do this treatment again.
Did it ever go back to normal? Please reply. I’m five months in and it looks terrible
@@JustASmalltownGirl10 I'm sorry to hear that. It will resolve. . I promise. I recommend chewing chewable candies like starbursts throughout the day to strengthen the muscles. It will recover a lot faster.
@@brodydale6088 I’ll try that. Thank you so much for replying. Couldn’t sleep with anxiety about this crying and staring at pictures of myself :( can’t wait for this to all be over. You’ve given me hope. It’s good to hear from someone who’s been through the same thing and got out the other side. Appreciate it so much really thank you
@@JustASmalltownGirl10 No worries. Yes just give it time. The chewing will def help and go easy on yourself.
Also, If you're very sensitive to the effects of botox, like I am, I also suggest you avoid getting botox around your crowsfeet as well. Honestly this is another area they don't warn you about. That can cause your cheeks to drop and atrophy your temples. Trust me the temporary massater shrinking is still better than having your cheeks and temple drop. So I don't recommend it there either.
This video actually motivated me to get it done though. I always thought it doesn’t work well in the Masseter Muscle, because I couldn’t find any before and after pictures with significant changes. But I was literally shooked when you showed the after pictures. I mean yes your face really looked too slim, but I didn’t know that Botox can have such a huge impact!! I guess I will get it done but without overdoing it
You should get a night guard from your dentist and ask if they see any teeth that need to be rebuilt. I ground my teeth until I'd entirely worn the enamel off some of them. Glad you're okay!
The first time I got 25 units each side ..It lasted 4-5 months and my jaw was slimmer ! I loved it. I think my muscle is super big and I clench when I’m sleeping. I got another 30 units each side today.. I’m praying I don’t get the same side affect as you did
how are your results after 1 month then? :)
@@martaxo1625 it’s fine so far! No pain or side effects like this
How long does it take for results to show? On my 7th week and see nothing. Also, did it cause a double chin to develop for you? My chin appears to have one now :(
@@angg4144 why did you have it done? Is it because of bruxism or because of aesthetics? If the latter, then maybe it is just your jaw bone structure and that can't be changed with this treatment. And no, it has never caused a double chin for me.
Hey, how's it looking now? Would you recommend it?
You look great! The exact same thing happened to me! Doctors just want to over inject because my muscles are so big
I’m you in 2016 right now! It normally takes me 6 months after my jaw botox to be happy with my face this last a year then I go through the motions again. On my 8th round.
You look great!! Thank you for sharing. I am thinking about doing this for my TMJ because I don't like wearing the nightguard and fall asleep before putting it in. I am older than you so the sagging skin would be worse on me. Something to think about. I am a bad grinder too. Stressed out and my left side is worse than my right. Sigh...there is no magic bullet.
botox injections don't absolve you from wearing a night gaurd.
I had serious skin folding above my eyebrows way worse than before Botox! I look older now then I did before and that was only three times over the space of a year.
What do you recommend / what was most effective for skin sagging after jaw botox? I have the same bone structure as you + Asian, but feel horrible since the benefits of no teeth grinding vs. downside of sagging lower skin are demoralizing.
I heard ultherapy can help
do you do anything for teeth grinding now? I'm sorry this happened to you but glad you're back to normal.
I got this done today for the 1st time I kind of got convinced into doing it by the injector but I’m regretting it now. She injected 25 units on each side I think but I had originally gone in for cheek filler and she recommended this instead. Your video was really helpful btw! ❤
Are you satisfied with your results 1 month in? I got 25u/side too and I’m worried already :(
I always heard you only need to repeat masseter botox once a year because results last longer. So I think it was just too much in a short period of time.
How long did it take you to see results after the first 15 units of botox was it really 3 months?
priya pashi no, I started to see results within the first month
Am I weird for liking the more angular look? You could try cranial sacral therapy or even gua sha for helping to relieve the stress on your jaw. I had a tongue tie release too that I think has helped with a lot of the tension. I haven’t tried Botox and I’m afraid to but was only thinking of doing it in my forehead for anti-aging I didn’t realize people were putting it in their Massater muscle too
thanks for your explaining. I have same scary experience by the way you are so beautiful and young no need to do anything
If your jawline was instantly responsive to 15 units then maybe you shouldn't went with 30 units. I'm still considering the procedure and I'm grateful that I have found your video, I will definitely use the least amount recommended and wait more than 3 months.
Did you do that
how did it go
@@soomiij The doctor told me botox won't work since the my jawline is all bones lol, but I did chin fillers to elongate my face a little
@@11RIHAM i heard some people say that chin fillers are annoying because they could feel the filler, is that true? can u share ur experience with it please? i’ve been thinking about getting them too since i realized the problem was not my jaw but my flat chin lol
(Please respond!) ...This was SO helpful because the same thing happened to me, and I really needed to hear someone else's experience. I had mine done three times as well and the last time was Feb of this year. By March my hollow thin face looked increasingly worse and my jaw was so saggy and these new jowls had appeared out of nowhere (I'm mid thirties with otherwise excellent skin).. I still have the jowls and am devastated and the dermatologist admits no responsibility and suggested using fillers to lift my face back up. Did $1000+ of filler and it didn't help. Is your advice that I should do Ultherapy / Fraxel? I've been looking into it but hate throwing money into a pit if it wont work...! Your reply would be so appreciated! x
Hi, what you want is to strengthen the muscles again. just like a patient who can't work out for a year and loses muscle. Options are NuFace device, and as Amy noted, 'grinding' your jaw. And easy way to do this is chew gum all day. There are actually men on RUclips who do tis to 'build' their jaw muscles up. For women who've lost muscle mass do it until you like what you see and then maybe do maintenance. There's risk of MORE volume loss (especially fat loss) from fraxel. It has been shown to 'melt' fat. Most Doctors won't admit it but there are multitudes of clinical studies.
I had the same thing happen, luckily my injector had told me this since I wanted to fix my jawline she suggested that I do masseter first or it would look weird but that the jawline filler would balance out the side effects of masseter Botox and immediately noticed a difference after the filler and looked like myself again .. a little too much that I’m thinking of getting my masseters done again
@@Bratzmaniac29 just go easy on how many units injected into the masseters.... I think less dose is better so it's a more gradual change and doesn't suddenly pull the face down. :)
@@fieryheadedgirl I'm trying to figure out how much! either 10 or 15 on each side
@@Bratzmaniac29 I think maybe 10 wont do anything. The masseters are apparently pretty strong muscles (far stronger than our forehead muscles) so my understanding is they tend to do 20 per masseter (20 each side). I get my masseters done just once a year now to gently stop them being so big... but I ask for 15 units per side. :)
Sorry you went through this. I just got a cream which uses argirene, apparently a topical Botox. And after seeing another video, I will never use it. Botox paralyzes, not relaxes like some people think.
What brand is that cream?
Please give us more Info on that cream. I try to find it
This is what I was worried about, they told me that after a year of getting it every 3 months the thinning would stop but I don't want mine super thin I just don't want to clinch and grind 😩 this is just a temporary fix
I had a hideous brow experience (after a very good one). Don't do it ladies. Just don't. Spend your money on a new lipstick and quality time with friends- if you have no friends go out and make some. Enjoy your life.
I did the same thing, and the back of my jaw disappeared and looked weird! So I started chewing gum and its slowly coming back--ill never do it again.
did it get completely normal now? will it be normal in 6 months?
How long did it take to recover from the injections?
Hi did ıt Back to normal ?
Wow . I would never think something like that would happen. Since Botox is so widely used for a variety of things. I’m glad you were able to rebound from that . Thank you for your honesty
Marie Morisset of course! I really hope that this video helps anyone out there thinking about doing this procedure. I still think it’s a good treatment and can be helpful, but that it’s so important to be cautious.
Thank you for posting this. I was considering Botox for my teeth clenching and grinding but now I think I’ll pass
Only took one treatment for this to happen to me. My well meaning dentist did conservative dose each side. My face slimmed a lot and then my mid cheek sagged and atrophied at 2 month mark. My derm (a respected doctor here on RUclips) saw me and said the volume loss from jaw botox is aging. I'm nearly 40, you need all the volume you have, not less. It does you no favour to look gaunt. So I won't be repeating it. I also find chewing chewy food quite tiring. Derm described it as a loss of scaffolding. Shame because the grinding relief is amazing. Live and learn. Lucky I have a derm who recognises botox volume loss in this area is undesirable.
Hi, did this get better with time?
@@emiliapentti7894 yes, I'm now about 7 months post masseter botox and I am almost back to normal.
Wow after one time!? I have tmj issues, tension headaches and teething grinding (cracked 2 teeth so far). I want to do Botox but nervous about it and especially upon hearing this side effect. I’m 37 so closer to 40 as well.
It’s ecxactly what i have experienced 3months after jawline injection. I was really unconfident but 7months after, my face bounced back 80% of the original, i am now happy than ever. I won’t do it again. big hollow, look really ugly and low energy!!!’
I did mine 3 months ago but I see that one side is wearing off the right side isn't wearing off yet did that happen to u too?
I just had botox injected on my masseter 2 days ago. Im 22 years old with TMJ disorder. I had 25 units done on each side of my cheek. My dermatologist told me to come back after a year. She recommends once a year of botox injection.
Will update here later the effects. So far, I havent seen slimming effect. And my face still feels a little tender. But its only been two days since injected.
wait for your updates. im panning to inject botox too
How did you get back to normal? I have the same problem right now! Any advice?
I don’t think your jawline was meant to be “v-shaped” which seems to be what most women are trying to get. I like your naturally rounded shape much better-it’s very youthful looking. You’re a very beautiful lady. I’d try to preserve what you already have & not change the structure of your face; it’s perfect.😍👌
this is happening to me. Im 26 and now my face is SAGGING after botox. I always had full cheeks but now theyre really pulling downwards after this procedure, which has been life-changing for the pain/swelling associated with grinding but wreaking havoc on the quality of my skin :( :( :( dont know what to do
Masseter update? Did skin sagging improve? Is your face still thin?
Thanks for the video and important info, Amy! I’m 63 and used to get Botox to open my eyes. Before my son’s wedding, I had it done by my same expert dermatologist. My eyelids fell and were lying on my eyelashes. I just had it done again by a new doctor and it happened again! I guess my body responds too well to it. It’s pretty depressing when this kind of thing happens.
Would you do it again?
I'm sixty nine and I had botox starting last year once and two times this year so far. I'm still in another week to have it done. But mind you I only do it for my glabella, forehead and eyes. It raised my eyebrows perfectly.
@@catapultx4411 I had an operation on my eyelids & would do the blepharoplasty again for sure! I can see again, & I look younger. (You need to get a great surgeon). Not so sure I’ll do Botox again because it seems to make my brow fall.
If you grind your teeth while you are young you won't see what slowing happens when you get older. I wish I would have known a long time ago about botox for the jaw so my teeth grinding didn't destroy my teeth. Now I am in the process of teeth restoration, which is very expensive.I don't mind the side effect of jaw slimming, I don't look gaunt. So you have to weigh if you want to slowing destroy your teeth or get the botox to avoid that from happening from years of teeth grinding. Also get a night guard, it's helps.
