Will temple botox make my masseters over compensate? (Photo)

Terrific955878
Hi, i received masseter botox in june of 2022. 12 units in my left and 10 in my right. absolutely hated it. it gave me laugh lines, jowls, and a plethora of problems i’ve been spending so long fixing. however, as of recently i have been experiencing high levels of stress. i discovered that i have been grinding my teeth which may have lead to hypertrophy of my temples. my head looks wider it’s making my face look fuller. if i get temple botox, will that make my masseters overcompensate/enlarge?
