Forty-four hemifaces from Korean and Thai embalmed cadavers were used in this study. The deep tendon structure was located deep in the lower third of the superficial part of the masseter. It was observed in all specimens and was designated as a deep inferior tendon (DIT). The relationship between the masseter and DIT could be classified into three types according to the coverage pattern: Type A, in which areas IV and V were covered by the DIT (27%, 12\/44); Type B, in which areas V and VI were covered by the DIT (23%, 10\/44); and Type C, in which areas IV, V, and VI were covered by the DIT (50%, 22\/44). The superficial part of the masseter consists of not only the muscle belly but also the deep tendon structure. Based on the results obtained in this morphological study, we recommend performing layer-by-layer retrograde injections into the superficial and deep muscle bellies of the masseter.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxins9010014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,30]],"date-time":"2016-12-30T08:48:53Z","timestamp":1483087733000},"page":"14","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["The Anatomical Basis of Paradoxical Masseteric Bulging after Botulinum Neurotoxin Type A Injection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Hyung-Jin","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division in Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Department of Oral Biology, Human Identification Research Center, BK21 PLUS Project, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"In-Won","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division in Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Department of Oral Biology, Human Identification Research Center, BK21 PLUS Project, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyle","family":"Seo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Modelo Clinic, Seoul 06011, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"You-Jin","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division in Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Department of Oral Biology, Human Identification Research Center, BK21 PLUS Project, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9506-5103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seong-Taek","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine, TMJ and Orofacial Pain Clinic, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyung-Seok","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division in Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Department of Oral Biology, Human Identification Research Center, BK21 PLUS Project, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1139-6261","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hee-Jin","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division in Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Department of Oral Biology, Human Identification Research Center, BK21 PLUS Project, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Seoul 03722, Korea"},{"name":"Room 601, Department of Oral Biology, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, 50-1 Yonseiro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fsc.2009.11.014","article-title":"Botox facial slimming\/facial sculpting: The role of botulinum toxin-A in the treatment of hypertrophic masseteric muscle and parotid enlargement to narrow the lower facial width","volume":"18","author":"Wu","year":"2010","journal-title":"Facial Plast.
