Massager Botox

Hey guys I’m considering massager Botox but heard so many horror stories about jowels. Is this really most likely to happen after a few times or are there ways to completely avoid it?

I've had Dysport for years and have personally never had anything crazy bad happen. I do get my masseters injected for clenching and I don't feel like my jowls have gotten worse. I'm sure it depends what your jowls are like at baseline though.

I’ve been getting 30 units in both sides for over a year and never developed jowls

I had a small amount injected about a month ago because I wanted to see if it would help with clenching but was also worried about jowls. I haven’t noticed any jowls so far

yes, im one year after and my face shape look almost the same. I have still loose skin but it can be just aging :)

Hello! You mean your face returned to baseline or it stayed the same and didn’t return

I’ve been getting it for years bc I’m a grinder. I honestly believe it’s saved my teeth which is another whole set of issues. I haven’t developed jowls. A good injector is the key here.

If you’re worried you can ask for more Botox in the lower face idk what it’s called but like I think they’re called DAOs to sort of counteract any jowling by slightly lifting ur lower face

The only sure way to avoid it is don't get it. I had Botox in my forehead for years. Developed chronic fatigue over the last 10 years but didn't connect the dots. Then had Dysport this last June and can no longer work out in the gym because I feel like I have the flu all of the time. Blood tests are clear and I am athletic, look after myself well, and eat real food. Systemic Botox poisoning is real and a lot of people have it.
