Before jumping to Botox for the masseter muscles to slim the lower face, you might wish to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist injector regarding the use of a robust HA filler for upper outer cheeks. An appropriate filler injected into the precise location can help to achieve the high-cheekbone, oval face look sought here without the need for affecting the very important masseter (chewing) muscle Treatment of the cheeks in this fashion in experienced takes about ten to fifteen minutes and the results typically engender an immediate "Wow!" reaction. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Botox injections to the masseter muscles will help to slim the appearance of the lower portion of the face.  The results will last approximately 3 to 4 months and fade gradually.  Fillers can be used to define cheeks and other facial contours.  See an expert injector to discuss your options and learn more.

Masseter Botox will not help with the sagging. See an experienced injector to work on your cheeks to reduce the sagging and at the same time, will optically slim your lower face to reduce the roundness.

Hello. Thanks for the question. During the younger years is normal to have a lot of concerns about appearance and beauty. I suggest discussing this with a specialized doctor in Esthetic Medicine near you. If you want to have a top model face, you can have Bichectomy to extract the fat deposits of the cheeks. That will make a narrow face and well-projected cheekbones. It's not reversible. Good luck!

Hi speedygonazales,
Thanks for uploading your photos. To achieve a slimmer face, I recommend buccal fat pad reduction, chin and jawline liposuction and skin tightening energy based device like FaceTite. I would also recommend adding filer to your cheekbones to give them a higher contour. The combination of all these procedures will give higher cheekbones and slim lower face/neck. I recommend you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
All the best,Dr. Sanan, MDFacial Plastic SurgeryLos Angeles, CA

Hello!  I highly recommend consulting with a board certified physician with experience. Botox in your masseters may be an option! The weakened effect that Botox produces may reduce the size of your masseters. Which in return may create a slimmer V-shaped jawline. I hope this information helps you! 
Have a great day!
