Wide Jaw

Possessing a wide jaw can refer to the look of a jawline that is dominant in appearance. Also known as a square jaw, this condition can be associated with masculine features that some people will feel looks disproportionate with the rest of the face. Possessing a wide jaw can refer to the look of a jawline that is dominant in appearance. Also known as a square jaw, this condition can be associated with masculine features that some people will feel looks disproportionate with the rest of the face.

A wide jaw can be due to one of two factors: the individual’s bone structure, or enlarged masseter muscles. However, in some cases it is a combination of both. A person’s genes will often be what determines their overall appearance, including their body shape, the way their features are formed and the unique colouring of their hair, skin and eyes.

About this condition

The jawbone is known medically as the mandible and in some cases where genetics are not the cause, this can change its shape from injury, trauma or certain medical conditions.

The masseter muscle is located at each side of the jaw and controls the opening and closing of the mouth. Genetics can also influence the size of this muscle, but it can become enlarged when it is overused. Excessive chewing (such as with those who frequently chew gum) can encourage the muscle to grow, as can some habitual conditions such as bruxism (teeth grinding) and jaw clenching.

Treatments that work to re-contour or reshape the jawline can be used to create a more streamlined look to the lower part of the face. At Nassif MedSpa dermal fillers can be administered to various points along the jawline or chin, bringing a more balanced and harmonious look.

If the masseter muscle has become larger, applying toxin directly into the muscle can help to relax the muscle and stop it from over contracting, which also effectively helps to stop the involuntary actions of grinding your teeth and clenching the jaw.

  I have been to see Amanda a few times now to help with the appearance of my acne scarring and redness. On my first appointment we had a very very thorough consultation which I really appreciated. I then went onto have halo and profractional laser, the aftercare was amazing and she was always on hand to answer any queries over message on her weekend! I have recently been for a checkup where I had more treatment in her own time just so I can get the best results possible. You're in extremely good hands at nassif med spa, everything is amazing from the second you walk through the door. I have had a lot of people curious about what I'm doing too. Thankyou!

  The Hydrafacial Platinum was absolutely fantastic, hands down the best facial I have ever had. My skin felt gorgeous afterwards and the whole experience was relaxing and rejuvenating. Nina was lovely, friendly and explained each stage, which was very reassuring. Amanda and Andi were so welcoming and professional. The clinic is beautifully clean and well presented. I will be back and have already recommended them and this particular treatment to friends and family. Thank you!

  An excellent clinic, highly recommended! I visited Nassif Medspa initially for BBL treatment, but soon progressed to Moxi and Hydrafacial treatments. Amanda is a consummate professional, who listened to my (difficult) in-depth journey, and made recommendations to help. My skin has never looked better! Her attention to detail is second-to-none; Amanda genuinely puts time, energy, and her soul into her work, and it really shows. Shout out to the lovely Andy and Nina too. A great clinic with awesome vibes. Big thumbs up! A++++++++++++++++++
