Do I atrophy or hypertrophy my masseters (need sm1 knowledgable)

[brobegooningtoanyth]

So i've been clenching my jaw and grinding for YEARS, and as a result it's given me a fairly wide lower third, and it's caused my masseters to hypertrophy - but i'm just wondering if it's worth trying to atrophy my masseters - as a result of hypertrophying my masseters, it might've made my zygos seem small or less projected, since the taper from my zygomatic arch to my jaw is less visible, do you think that atrophying my masseters would give me a hllow cheek appearance? or should i just continue doing what i do

Hypertrophy.

I think your current size is alright, I would need a frontal picture but they seem to flare out which is great.

Hypertrophy.

does that not prevent me from getting hollow cheeks?

I mean, I have fairly wide zygos but I guess it isn't obvious because of how wide my jaw is

but i guess the fear is that if I do atrophy, what if it doesn't result in hollow cheeks and I just end up with a cucked jaw

it's a bit of an autistic photo, but it's undistorted

If I am remembering correctly, Bigonial Width should be 90% of Bizygomatic Width, you would have to measure them using an app and see if your masseter's are too big.

Aslong as your Bigonial is equal to or slightly less to your Bizygomatic, then it isn't much of a problem aesthetically speaking.
If you end up botox-ing them, you can always grow them back after a few month's, or you can morph yourself with a lower Bigonial and see whether it look's better on you.

mine is about 92%

i've morphed the photo here so you can take a side by side look, the issue isn't so much the jaw width, but the distance between the masseter and the zygomatic arch, because my masseters are so pumped up the soft tissue between my masseter and zygomatic arch is more flared out, so it creates the appearance of flat zygos

i guess is they were atrophied it would be more similar to the morph, there would be more of a sub-zygomatic shadow, but i cba to put that in the morph

wdy think?
