- For the first month after jaw Botox injection, avoid touching, squeezing, massaging, or rubbing the jaw area, as this may cause the medication to spread to other areas.
- Avoid facial procedures during the first 2-4 weeks, including facial massages and laser treatments, as these may accelerate the spread and breakdown of Botox.

Is it possible to get Botox injections in the jawline again?
Many people want the results of a slimmer face to last forever, and they may wonder if they can get repeat Botox injections for the jawline. The answer is yes, but it's recommended to wait about 3 months between injections. Injecting too frequently may lead to Botox resistance.
However, to maintain good results and avoid starting from scratch again, jaw Botox injections should be spaced no more than 6 months apart. This is because once the Botox wears off, the muscles will return to their normal function, resulting in the jaw becoming larger again.
Why didn't my jaw get any smaller after getting Botox injections?
How many days does Botox take to take effect? I got Botox injections in my jaw, but my jaw is still as big as before. Why is that?
In most cases, when Botox is injected into the jaw muscles, the effects begin immediately. However, if you have very large jaw muscles, it may take time for them to relax and reduce in size. The effects usually start to show 3-7 days after injection. However, if your jaw muscles haven't reduced in size a long time ago, it could be due to these reasons.
- Injecting too few units of Botox into the jawline can result in suboptimal effects.
- You might encounter fake Botox, which could result in no results at all, or in some cases, you might see good results the first time, but subsequent jaw injections might not show any effect due to drug resistance.
- A large jaw isn't caused by muscle, but by large jawbone. If that's the case, Botox injections won't solve the problem; cosmetic surgery is the only option.
