Can I get more Botox in the jaw/masseter for reduction? (photo)

Jskhg323
Two months ago (June 14,2017) I received 25 units of Botox on each side of my face for jawline reduction. I have pretty big masseter muscles to begin with. This has worked pretty good. I was wondering if it would be beneficial or safe to get a booster treatment of a lesser dose next week (at 9 weeks)? The last time I received 50 units was in December of last year and the treatment started wearing off in 3 months. I'm going on vacation the end of the month and don't want to risk the treatment wearing off.
