How long do jawline botox results last?
Long enough to be worth doing and short enough that it is always temporary. The signal returns to the muscle, strength comes back with it, and the width rebuilds under whatever load you put the jaw under afterwards. Your own span depends on the dose, on how powerful that muscle was, on your metabolism and on your grinding and clenching habits, and your director gives you the expected pattern for your plan at consultation instead of a figure printed here.
Why will you not just tell me a number of months?
Because a number on a web page is an average taken from other people's muscles, other doses and other products, and it predicts very little about one specific jaw. We prefer to describe what governs it and then give you an expectation drawn from your own examination, which is a figure you can actually plan around and which gets revised at the review.
Does the effect stop suddenly, or fade away?
It fades. Transmission between nerve and muscle is re-established gradually, so biting power creeps back over a stretch instead of switching on one morning. The visible outline moves later still, because width only returns as the muscle is loaded and rebuilds. Nobody wakes up with the jaw they started with.
Will my jawline go back exactly as it was before?
Assume so, and treat anything else as a bonus. A masseter left untreated returns to the strength and the bulk that your habits support, and that is the same jaw you brought in. Some patients feel a later course holds differently from the first; that is an impression from their own review and not something this clinic promises to anybody in advance.
Does grinding my teeth at night shorten how long it lasts?
It is the single biggest thing you can influence. Grinding is resistance training for the same muscle the injection is softening, so the load that built the bulk is still running while the treatment wears off, and it rebuilds faster afterwards. Mention it at the consultation, because dental advice on a night guard sits alongside this treatment and changes what the plan should look like.
Does a bigger dose make the result last longer?
Not in a way worth buying. Matching the dose to the strength of the muscle is what stops a change fading early; pushing past that point reduces the masseter further than the face can carry, takes support away from the lower cheek and cannot be corrected except by waiting. First dosing here is deliberately conservative and completed at the review for exactly that reason.
Does the imported tier last longer than the Korean one?
This clinic publishes no duration claim for either tier. They are different products at different published rates, and which of them suits you is a conversation with your director at the consultation, where the difference is explained and the vial is shown to you before it is drawn. The mapping and the sitting are the same on both lines.
When should I book my next session?
When the outline starts to widen, which is a question answered by comparing photographs and by your director feeling the muscle, and not by a date. Returning bite strength usually arrives earlier and is information rather than a cue to book. A top-up asked for too soon is likely to be declined, because dosing a muscle that has not recovered is how a lower face ends up over-reduced.
How much is a maintenance session?
The same as a first one: ₩40,000 (≈ $30) per session on the Korean tier and ₩350,000 (≈ $250) on the imported tier, both covering the muscle on both sides. Nothing is pre-sold as a course, so a repeat visit is a fresh decision with a fresh figure, and stopping after one session leaves nothing owed.
What happens if I stop treating altogether?
The muscle recovers its strength and, under the same chewing and clenching load, its bulk. Nothing deteriorates beyond the point you started from and there is no rebound to a worse place. Stopping is a legitimate outcome and it is discussed openly at a review, particularly where the original width turned out to be partly bone or fat.
Can I have a repeat on the day I come in, and when are you open?
Often yes, once the muscle has been examined, both sides compared and the figure approved by you, and Dear Clinic is open 365 days a year including Sundays and public holidays. Where the examination says the outline has not moved enough to justify it, we do not recommend the injection that day and you are shown the comparison the decision rests on.
