Strong masseter = bad for hollow cheeks?

[Deleted member 616]

I have very strong masseter muscles on both sides, probably due to eating a lot of hard food in my youth. When I bite my teeth together they're clearly visible. Yet they take up a large % of my profile and are even close to my cheekbones. There's some sunken position between my cheekbones and masseters but it's too small.

I know that I lack the maxillary to balance this, but should I reduce my masseters in this case?

My face looks pretty much like the left, just with stronger masseter

A strong masseter stretches the skin on your face and will make them more hollow if anything. Just make sure you tongue chew too or you’ll get facial bloat.

Something Mike Mew said. I think it’s just because chewing on it’s own creates facial imbalance. When you chew expect some form of temporary bloating but nothing major if you mew.

Nah man if anything a wider jaw helps them. Hollow cheeks are a matter of fat storage, zygo prominence and your jaw width imo. Also, being lean helps and not everyone can achieve them.
