My experience with Botox I got 200 units of Botox injected into my masseter, pterygoid, and temporalis muscles about a week ago. This was done by a maxillofacial surgeon for a rare condition called masseter hypertrophy, which years of stammering, anxiety, and a connective tissue disorder may have contributed to. He assured me that at worst, it wouldn’t do anything. Turns out, it did get worse than just “wouldn’t do anything”. Those three muscles are responsible for jaw closing. The past few days, I have been blocking so hard and for so long - I was on a call with someone and blocked for a full 15 seconds. I don’t know if this is just an initial period that will pass in a bit, but I’m really upset and worried right now. It’s going to take 3 to 6 months for the Botox to wear off. Just please keep this in mind if you’re messing with different treatments.
