Botulinum AKA Botox works to relax muscles. Hence, it could be a great first choice to relax an overactive chin muscle. I suggest looking up "orange peel" for more information on Botox to the mentalis muscle. All the best from Boston.
Instead of using Botox to thin the temple area you may prefer fillers to the cheekbone. If you thin the temporal area you may look gaunt or hollow. Volumizing the cheek area with filler would be a better alternative.
Botox and Xeomin are both neruomodulators, but they are created slightly differently. You can have your doctor perform a patch test on your arm to check for allergy. You can then proceed with treatment if you are nonreactive.
