Facial Bone Contouring of Jawline. Is This a High-risk Procedure? (photo)

Im a 20 year old female of Asian descent. I have a square and assymetrical jaw that is mostly caused by my large masseter muscles and possibly my bone structure. I considered botox but I really dont want to inject my face with a toxin every 6-12 months. I looked into jaw shaving but the procedure sounds really terrifying. Is this a high-risk procedure?

In my opinion, I think narrowing your cheekbones would make your face more narrow. You already have a nice v-shape chin so I wouldn't mess with that if I were you. Just my 2 cents
