Watch as Dr. Dahabra injects Botox in Plantation to the 11 lines and the forehead wrinkles. Listen and observe for all the steps and tips he gives. From location, strategy, angle, depth, and customization, every step is calculated, and every injection is purposeful to achieve the best results. Dr Dahabra explains the muscle structure, pointing out the corrugator procerus and other muscles.

A total of 16 injections are suggested for the 11 lines, focusing on keeping the muscles weak to prevent deeper lines over time. General skincare advice is given, including the use of sunblock, facials for dead cell removal, and the benefits of retinol and vitamin C. Dr. Dahabra emphasizes the importance of adjusting Botox injections based on individual variations in forehead muscle bulk, highlighting the skill required in the injection process.

How's your jaw?

Ahhh hi!!!! It's doing okay! It's been a little over two weeks since I did the injections and he said that it takes about two weeks for it to fully kick in. I think I'm clenching less overall, but by the end of the day I still usually have some degree of muscle pain in my face. I think I do a lot of like, habitual constant clenching (almost like "in the background") and then have shorter bursts of more intense clenching interspersed that tend to be more related to focus/immediate stress/etc - it seems like I have less of the background clenching and I'm better able to catch myself in the moment with the more intense episodes.

Stress, caffeine, and my ADHD meds definitely make the clenching worse in general, so like usually I try to take fewer/lower doses and lay off the caffeine when I have less on my plate BUT I'm currently working on some of the last revisions for my thesis (I'm so close to being done with this thing forever and I'm ready to dropkick it into the sun) so the stress+caffeine+no med breaks is kind of inevitable right now. So actually it's pretty impressive that I'm noticing any difference at all even WITH those factors at play.

It's been really interesting that my masseter muscles already feel slightly smaller and definitely a lot.... softer? Like when I bite down and touch them, it feels more like a ball of stiff clay rather than a golf ball lol, like I can push into them a bit with my fingertips which I definitely could not do before. I genuinely did not realize how overdeveloped they were before this - I was talking to a friend about how the dentist had said I had "the Arnold Schwarzenegger of masseters" and I had commented that I don't really know how mine compare to other people's since I don't exactly go around feeling people's faces and she had me feel hers and uhhhhhhhhh WOW. I was genuinely shocked at how minimal hers felt in comparison. Apparently it is NOT normal for your masseter muscles to feel like actual golf balls under your skin, who knew!!!!

The injections themselves were pretty painless, most of them less painful than like a flu shot. I got a lot of uncomfortable pressure in my ears almost immediately, but I suspect that has more to do with how I had to spend quite a bit of time clenching/biting down hard for him to examine the muscles and place the injections. I've had a lot of chronic ear issues over the years and some Eustachian tube dysfunction type stuff, which tbh may very well be related to TMJ dysfunction. The ear pressure dissipated after two or three days, and it could be a placebo but it seems like they've felt less full since then. Other than the ear pressure, I did feel kind of generally achy and vaguely yucky the first two days afterwards, almost like I was getting the flu. Apparently that's not unheard of but some Tylenol took care of most of it.

Importantly, I haven't had any other bits of bone poking through my gums! Time will tell in that regard, since there was about five months in between the two times it happened. The area of my gums where the one piece of bone came out feels a lot smoother/flatter than it did before this whole debacle, which makes me wonder if there wasn't some general inflammation or soft tissue build up around it. The other side of my mouth does have a bump that seems to come to a point and my regular dentist said it does feel kind of sharp beneath the gum tissue, so I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually pushes through but at least if that happens I'll know what's going on.

I go back in two-ish weeks for follow up and he said I'll probably need more injections then but that it likely won't be as many as before. The first round he did 60 units but I don't really have an estimate as to how many it might be for the second round. As long as it helps, I don't particularly care how much they inject, although less is definitely better for my wallet. I haven't heard back on whether or not insurance will cover it. They probably won't since it's an off label use and teeth are considered optional by insurance companies, but the clinic said they would at least try to get it covered, which I appreciate.

ppl are so rude about zac efrons face. why do u think its a conspiracy theory that this man had a jaw injury that progressively caused a change in its appearance. actors denying (cosmetic) plastic surgery usually just fucking ignore the rumors or admit to it . and reconstructive surgery is a Type of plastic surgery lmfaoo like they probably have given him botox injections to EASE JAW PAIN thats a very common use of botox ?????

I hate even having to know about this

thinking about the buccal fat removal trend and how women with naturally sharp cheekbones often have other facial features deemed “too masculine”- eg. heavy browbones or wide jaws

thinking about how we’re often told to “correct” those with surgery, too

thinking about how there’s always something Wrong with you even if one or two of your natural features happen to be On-TrendTM

(T*rfs, fuck off)

For doodle requests, a trigemine doodle mayhaps? Also good luck with school, can’t say I’m excited for that either :/

i found out the other day that it’s pronounced tri-juh-meen and not tri-geh-meen and i’m still reeling from that information honestly. anyways i am so unbelievably happy with how he turned out i LOVE drawing miserable awful dudes. i hope i captured his essence :)

jaw saga update: i had my follow up appointment today, dentist started out saying that usually the follow up visits only need like 15 units. and then he felt my muscles and started laughing, said to ignore everything he just said.

we ended up injecting another 60 units (same amount as the first round)

he told me i'm the first patient he's ever had who needed 120 units for TMD
