Understanding a square jaw

A square or wide lower face is often caused by an enlarged masseter, the muscle you use to chew. Easing this muscle slims the jaw over a few weeks and can also relieve clenching. It applies the principles behind our anti-wrinkle injections to the shape of the lower face.

What causes a wide jaw

The masseter muscle can grow larger through genetics, habitual clenching or grinding, widening the angle of the jaw. A larger muscle gives a squarer, heavier lower face. This is different from a wide jaw caused by bone structure.

Who tends to notice it

People who clench or grind, often through stress or at night, tend to develop a stronger masseter. It is common in those who want a softer, slimmer lower face, and in people whose jaw feels tight or aches from clenching.

A prescription injectable eases the masseter so it gradually reduces in bulk, softening a square jaw over a few weeks.
Alongside slimming, a little jawline filler can refine the shape of the lower face where you would like more definition.

What results are realistic

Where the width comes from an enlarged muscle, a gradual, natural slimming over a few weeks is realistic, and clenching often eases too. If the width is mainly from bone structure, this treatment will not change it, and we will tell you so honestly at consultation.
