Why did the doctor tell me to chew gum after getting Botox injections in my jaw?

The doctor told me to chew gum because it helps the Botox that was injected to spread better. It's like massaging the medication to help it absorb thoroughly into the jaw muscles.

• ✅ Jaw injection → I need to chew gum. (5-10 minutes) To help the Botox distribute properly and ensure balanced muscle function.
• 🚫 Wrinkle reduction injection → No chewing required. The key here is to let the Botox work quietly; don't disturb it. Don't press or massage it.

After jaw injection, if you experience any discomfort or fatigue when eating foods that require heavy chewing, don't be surprised. This is because the Botox is taking effect and you may feel some soreness.

Patients who come for jaw injections for the first time might be surprised, but those who are regular patients will automatically ask the staff for chewing gum. 🙂
