Can Jawline Reduction Possible on a Muscular Jaw?

I seem to have a lot of muscles in my jawline vs. bone. Is it possible to get jaw reduction to get a smaller jawline even though I have a lot of muscle?

Reduction of jawline prominence or masseter muscle hypertrophy

The use of botunlinum toxin has become a popular technique for reducing the appearance of prominent masseter muscle. Unfortunately, this is temporary and ongoing treatment for maintenance is required. However, it is a non-surgical procedure with relatively few risks.
