Reshape Your Jawline Without Surgery

Excessive chewing of food, habitual jaw clenching and the grinding of teeth all tend to overwork the jaw muscles – which can create a masculine appearance and square jawline. Fortunately, this can be treated with botulinum toxin injections.

A gentle V-shaped jawline is a definitive characteristic of beauty that is well admired, as it makes women look more feminine and appear slimmer. A more refined jaw even gives women the illusion of looking younger than they really are. In comparison, having a more pronounced and square jawline will not only make women think they look more masculine, but it can also make their face look unbalanced.

While some women are naturally born with an angular feature as a result of a genetic bone structure or enlarged mandible, there are others who develop this feature over a course of time. This structure change of the face is due to the jaw or masseter muscles being overworked – either by excessive chewing of food and gum or by the habitual clenching of the jaw and grinding of the teeth – thus causing the face to appear bigger than it actually is with a square jaw.
