What is causing this master bulge when I clench my teeth? (Photo)

Asked By:Sweetcaraline in New York, NY

This is my very first time receiving BOTOX. I received 10 units of BOTOX (3 injections) on my RIGHT masseter muscle to reduce my enlarged jawline. (I am a teeth clenched) 48 hours later I was surprised by this bulge that emerged when I clench my teeth. It is not discolored. It is not painful. It is just making me laugh because it's so funny looking. Is there a problem, or is this just one of the stages that I need to go through on my way to perfection???
