What are the risks associated with treating rebound flushing with intradermal Botox?

Thank you for your question. There's a couple of reasons why you could be "botox resistant". 1. Maybe the botox has worked very well and you do not have enlarged masseter muscles anymore, therefore, injecting more toxin will not shrink your jawline any further. 2. There are some people who develop antibodies to botox. You may need to use a different brand of toxin if your masseters are still hypertrophic. The only permanent ways to reduce your jawline are surgical. Either your muscle can be reduced or your mandible can be reduced or both. Hope this answers your question.

The answer is not likely. It’s certain that Botox is a topic that has no relevance to the jaw, meaning the chin or mandible. There’s no effect on the mandible. The mandible tends to shrink due to atrophy. So as you get older, the mandible shrinks. Also, you tend to lose teeth and you lose other bone support. This shrinking of the mandible has been proven by CT scans. We know that the facial skeleton changes with age, it tends to get smaller and the mandible tends to lose its mass. It is unlikely that this is caused by Botox; it is just a natural ageing process.
