Did you know you can inject Botox into the massete

Did you know you can inject Botox into the masseter muscles? 💉👩🏻‍⚕️

Yep! And it’s becoming VERY popular.
Why?
Let’s just call it the #2020 effect.

💉Many of us suffer from teeth clenching and grinding. The masseter is one of the muscles that contributes to this problem. Whether it’s a habit or related to the stress of this year, it can really take its toll on your teeth AND your jaw. For many people (myself included) it can also cause tension headaches.

💉Mask wearing (in my opinion) is contributing to the use of new facial muscles as well. This is due to attempts to keep our masks off of our mouths and in the right place, leaving our faces tense and tired.

💉 Masseter botox requires much higher dosing (up to 40 units)!

💉 Botox in this muscle can last for 4-6 months (because of the higher dosing). It can take up to 2 weeks to see full effect and can be touched up if more is needed.

💉 Masseter botox can also SLIM the face. This works especially well in those patients with a square facial shape or with large masseter muscles.

💉 It is not approved to treat TMJ disorders though it may indirectly help. If you suffer from these disorders we recommend dental or oral surgery consultations.

💉 Choose your injector wisely! You should feel comfortable asking questions and learning during the process.

💉There is always risk of (temporary) paralysis to other muscles near the masseters and this can cause facial asymmetry. Remember this is always temporary and very unlikely. There are many things I do to avoid this when injecting (marking, trajectory of needle, patient instructions and education of avoidance of massage in the area).

A quick 48 hours in the desert @haciendadelsolpd was all we needed to reset for the busy weeks to come. I know you all will love this dress but I’ve had it for so long that there are only a few sizes left now. Check my stories for the link 😘 Little weekends away have me looking forward to our next adventures over the holidays.

Is anyone else wondering how Thanksgiving is only a month away?! 🤯

2020: through my shield 👩🏻‍⚕️

I went into Emergency Medicine because it’s a fast paced, adrenaline-pumping field that takes big risks but also leads to big rewards.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I was honored to call myself a frontline defender. It felt natural to rise to the challenge and help to the best of my capabilities. In Emergency Medicine, it doesn’t take very long to realize that life is short. It’s important to be prepared for anything, even a pandemic.

Chris and I purchased life insurance through @massmutual before the pandemic, and it took a huge weight off of our shoulders.

MassMutual has committed to paying the premiums for $3 billion of insurance, with personal coverage up to $25,000 for frontline healthcare workers nationwide. MassMutual HealthBridge will offer FREE 3-year term life insurance policies to frontline healthcare workers helping fight COVID-19. 🏥

There is no physical exam or lab testing required and the application is easily accessed online!

Have you considered life insurance? If you are a healthcare worker working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, swipe up in my Stories to apply today! #LiveMutual #ad

Trick or treating may be cancelled, but our Hallow

Trick or treating may be cancelled, but our Halloween spirit is here to stay 🎃💀🦇

C and I strolled the neighborhood at sunset the other day, and took in all the spooky porch and front lawn decor.

I feel like this year people around us have gone all out to make up for the turmoil that 2020 has brought.

Not gonna lie, I kicked our porch decor up a notch this year too. I kept it a dark and creepy theme though. ☠️💀
Even if there are no trick or treaters, it still helps keep our spirits 👻 up!
We purchased most of this stuff at Michaels for 30% off! The bats are clutch, and easy to find on amazon. Check my stories for links 😘 And what would be a fall porch scene without mums?

Did you decorate for Halloween this year?

EMS is still easing into this whole big sister thing. She likes to supervise from afar.
But everyday is an improvement!

Only thing missing here is C!
I’m thinking he needs some tie dye apparel to match us??

C and I hosted an outdoor movie night last weekend and went all out with the food (as usual).

Halloween can still be fun (and safe) this year! ☠️ I made a list of fun and creative activities to plan for your family on the blog at DrMajestic.com.

Plus you can see all the cute Halloween decor accessories I ordered from amazon to spice up the creepy theme!

We rented a projector from a local company and streamed our fave seasonal movie in the backyard.

Can you guess which flick we chose? 🎃👻
