Botox Injection Possible on 1 Side of Jaw?

prettyprints
I have a prominent jawline on one side of my face and had Botox on both jaws before. On the side with the larger jaw, I noticed that its masseter muscle is "more active." Now I'm planning to ask my dermatologist to inject 5-10 units of Botox on just one side of my face to see if it will cure the lopsided problem. Is it possible? Is there any risk for injecting Botox on one side of the jaw?
