What to do about sides of head bulging out? Can temporalis Botox reduce this? (photos)

Asked By:Inventive143012 in New York, New York

I have a large head, and from the left side it looks pretty normal. But looking straight on, it's clear that the sides bulge out dramatically over my ears, and not symmetrically, either. Would botox on the temporalis muscle help my head look more normal? I'm losing my hair and am hesitant to keep my head shaved because of this. What do you recommend? Is there anything that can be done?
