Wide Jaw

At VIDASKIN, we believe in enhancing your natural beauty and restoring harmony to your features. If you’ve noticed a squared jawline or hypertrophic masseter muscles affecting your facial aesthetics, you’re not alone. Whilst a square jaw in males may be seen as a desirable feature, many ladies would like to have a more slim and contoured jawline. This is seen often as a symbol of femineity and youthfulness. Many of our patients seek our expertise to address this concern and achieve a more balanced and refined look.

Understanding the Condition:

A squared jaw or hypertrophic masseter muscles can result in a jawline that appears overly angular or muscular. This condition is often caused by the enlargement of the masseter muscles, which are responsible for chewing. While genetics can play a role, teeth grinding and excessive chewing can contribute to the development of hypertrophy in these muscles. Many patients also complain that with hypertrophic masseter muscles, they often find themselves grinding their teeth at night, cause recurrent headaches, jaw aches, as well as other dental issues.  

Solutions We Offer

At VIDASKIN, we understand the impact a square jawline can have on your confidence, as well as hypertrophic masseter muscles on your well-being. We offer personalized and non-invasive solutions to address this concern:

Frequently Asked Questions

A wide jaw can be caused by various factors, including genetics, an enlarged masseter muscle (the muscle used for chewing), or certain habits like teeth grinding (bruxism). It can result in a more masculine or square facial appearance.

A wide jaw can be reduced using non-surgical treatments such as Botox injections, which relax the masseter muscle, causing it to shrink over time. Other options include Ultherapy and RF (Radiofrequency) treatments (eg. Thermage) that target and tighten the skin and underlying tissues. Consult a medical professional to identify a treatment plan suitable for you.

BTX works by relaxing the masseter muscle, which is responsible for chewing. When injected into the muscle, it reduces its size and activity, leading to a slimmer and more defined jawline. Results are gradual, with most patients seeing noticeable improvements within a few weeks. BTX is a popular and effective option for non-surgical jaw reduction.

Jaw reduction with BTX is not permanent, but the results can last for several months. Over time, the masseter muscle may regain its size if the treatment is not maintained. Regular follow-up sessions can help sustain the slimmer jawline and achieve long-term results.

Non-surgical jaw reduction treatments like BTX have minimal to no downtime. Some may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site, which subsides within a few days. After BTX treatment, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise, facials or massages for 48hours to reduce the risk of BTX migration and bruising.
