Botox in the jawline. Does this cause further sagging of skin?

will4
I have some mild sacking around the jawline area and nasolabial fold. My doctor recommended that I think about having Botox to reduce the Masseter muscles in my jawline. My worry is that if I have the Botox to shape the jawline won't this mean that there is less support for the skin above it and therefore cause more sagging in the lower face itself? Not sure if I've explained it very well, but hope that makes sense.
