I developed the original recommended dosing and published it in 1999. For the typical patient, we recommend an initial dose of 25U per side.

In my experience, treating masseter hypertrophy or TMJ typically requires 20-30 units of Botox/Xeomin or 50-90 units of Dysport on each side. The price per unit for Botox or Xeomin is usually $10-15, while Dysport ranges from $3.50-6 per unit.

For reducing the masseter muscle, 40-50 units of Botox are typically used and repeated 2-3 times over 8-12 months. However, shrinking the masseter muscle may weaken the mandibular angles and chin. Consider discussing the option of a chin implant and filler to enhance the mandibular angles for a more aesthetic look.

The cost of a procedure like panniculectomy can vary depending on the doctor and the extent of the procedure. It is advisable to see a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for good results rather than prioritizing cheap options.
