Mastectomy:

Partial excision of masseter muscle has certain surgical trauma, which needs some time to recover, but the maintenance effect is long. The operation was performed in the mouth. First of all, the bacteria in the oral cavity should be thoroughly disinfected to reduce the postoperative infection rate. When the masseter muscle is removed, the medial surface of the masseter muscle should be removed to avoid damaging the mandibular marginal branch of the facial nerve. The amount of masseter muscle resection depends on preoperative examination, and the amount of masseter muscle resection generally does not exceed one-third of the thickness of masseter muscle.

Botox injection:

Botox is a biological product used to treat masseter hypertrophy. Because of its nerve blocking effect, Botox is very commonly used in cosmetic surgery. The current dose is only 1% of its maximum safe dose, so it is very safe. Generally, 1~2 injection points are selected for injection on each side, and the injection process takes about 20 minutes, so there is no need for anesthesia, and the injection wound is small and the recovery is fast. 2-3 weeks after injection, the masseter muscle began to contract, and the face-lifting effect appeared. The effect can last for about a year, and then gradually recover. After several injections, the muscles gradually contracted and formed. Chewing and biting should be avoided after injection. Because the needle is very thin and the injection amount is very small, it feels like being bitten by a bug. You can continue your normal activities immediately after treatment and drive home or go to work by yourself.

Two weeks after BOTOX Biotin -A was injected into the masseter muscle, the patient could feel the decrease of chewing power when chewing hard, and the masseter muscle had no obvious bulge and no obvious contraction when touching the masseter muscle locally. Generally, masticatory muscular atrophy and facial changes can be observed 3-4 weeks after injection. BOTOX face-lifting adaptation parts: lifting head lines, frowning lines, laughing lines and crow's feet lines; Generally, the effect can be seen after 24 hours of injection treatment, and the effect after 72 hours is best aimed at your current situation. If the therapist determines that you can receive Botox treatment, then you can definitely expect the effect of using Botox. Because Botox face-lifting helps you remove annoying crow's feet, forehead lines and brow lines, making your appearance younger.

That's all the difference between Botox injection and masseter muscle resection. I hope it helps you.
