Causes of
Square Jaw
There are various causes of square jawline, including genetics, bone structure, muscle development, and teeth grinding. Genetics plays a significant role in the shape of the jawline, as it determines the size and shape of the facial bones. People with larger or wider jaws are more likely to have a square jawline. Additionally, muscle development can also contribute to square jawline, especially in people who clench their jaw or grind their teeth, which can lead to the enlargement of the masseter muscles. Lastly, aging can also cause changes in the jawline, such as bone loss or sagging skin, which can contribute to a square appearance.
Treatment
Options for Square Jaw
Neurotoxin Injection
Neurotoxin injection is a popular treatment for square jawline caused by enlarged masseter muscles. Neurotoxin is injected directly into the masseter muscles, which relaxes them, reducing their size and creating a slimmer jawline. The effects of Neurotoxin injection usually last for 3-6 months, and repeat treatments are necessary to maintain the results.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers can be used to create a more balanced, proportional jawline by adding volume to specific areas. Fillers can also be used to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, giving the face a more youthful appearance. The effects of dermal fillers typically last for 6-12 months.
