r/botoxsideeffects

Long story short I had my first treatment of 40 units total of Masseter Botox like ten months ago and that was perfect. Then I went again (with a different injector due to moving) a couple months later because I noticed my masseters going back (but not completely) so that time I only asked for 20 units due to being afraid of overdoing it and getting jowls. Well that didn’t really seem to do much..

Then I went again (to another injector after doing more research) and we did 40 units total and then 32 units of the nefertiti lift as preventative measure along just my jawline. Well ironically, I ended up getting jowls that time and now I’m not sure what to do..

My masseters aren’t nearly as slim as they were the first time somehow, and I still ended up getting jowls.. I do believe the jowls are mainly due to the Nefertiti lift because of where the jowls are located are exactly where the nefertiti was placed. And I didn’t have jowls this prior to that

Now I’m wondering if I should add more Masseter Botox to create a more slimming affect to counter the appearance of the jowls, or maybe I should just add some to my DAO muscles as I know this can help especially in cases where you’re someone with very active DAO muscles and I know mine are very active because I always catch myself using those muscles all day…

I’ve also heard treatments like laser can help tighten things a bit, but I’ve also heard they can cause fat loss if they go too deep, so I’m wondering maybe it could be possible to just ask for laser in just the jowls area? But say fat loss happened to occur there, would that even be helpful or would that only worsen the situation??

What would you guys do? 😢
