Hello. This is Woori Plastic Surgery.
Not every jaw that looks angular is caused by bone. In actual consultations, we also often see cases where the face looks wider due to development of the masseter muscles. In such cases, when muscle is the cause, jaw Botox may help change the jawline.
Causes of a Square Jaw
A square jaw can vary depending not only on bone structure, but also on how developed the chewing muscles (masseter muscles) are.
If you have a habit of clenching your teeth tightly or use your jaw a lot, the masseter muscles can gradually become thicker, making the area below the jaw look protruded. In such cases, even without touching the bone, it is possible to refine the line by reducing the muscle size with jaw Botox.
Refining the Line by Reducing Muscle Movement
Jaw Botox works by easing muscle movement and gradually reducing overly developed masseter muscles.
As muscle use decreases, natural atrophy occurs, and as a result, the width of the face may appear smaller, creating a more delicate impression. Through this process, jaw Botox may help create a slimmer V-line.
In addition, if the protrusion of the salivary glands is reduced along with the jaw muscles, the overall contour may feel more refined not only from the front, but also from a 45-degree angle and from the side. This kind of approach, which considers multiple factors together, is one of the elements that affects satisfaction with jaw Botox results.
The Importance of Safety and Appropriate Dosage
Botox procedures can vary in results and safety depending on the product used and the dosage. It is important to use genuine Botox products with verified safety and to proceed with an appropriate dosage suited to each individual’s condition in order to aim for a more balanced result. These standards are important factors in jaw Botox procedures.
This May Be Worth Considering in These Cases
➡️ When the masseter muscles are developed and the face looks angular
➡️ When the area below the jaw looks bulging from the side
➡️ When the face looks wide regardless of weight changes
➡️ When you want to refine the jawline without surgery
➡️ When the contours look unclear and the line does not appear defined
If the cause of a square jaw is muscle, approaching it by reducing that muscle can be an effective method.
Jaw Botox may help refine the facial line in a relatively low-burden way, and an accurate diagnosis suited to your individual condition is most important. We recommend checking the right approach for you through a consultation.
