Do I have masseter hypertrophy? And if so would I benefit from botox? (photo)

Asked By:bri123456 in Charleston, South Carolina

I've always had a prominent jaw and cheek bones but I also have a habit of clenching my jaw when I'm stressed. I've been experiencing some on and off jaw pain/soreness which I'm sure is due to my clenching. I've also noticed that since having my wisdom teeth removed 4 years ago while in boot camp part of my jaw and behind my ears have been numb. Could this surgery have anything to do with my jaw appearing larger than it was before?
