Wide Jaw

For some women, a wide jaw can be seen as a masculine trait, and result in a square appearance. Although a wide, prominent jawline may be caused by hereditary bone structure, it’s possible that the cause of a wider jaw may be down to the muscles in the area. As we chew, clench, or grind our teeth, the muscle is “exercised”, which increases the size and widens the jawline.

At Define Clinic, Dr Benji Dhillon and his team use wrinkle relaxing injections – specifically Anti-Wrinkle Injections – to relax the muscles in the jawline. This helps reduce the size of larger jaw muscles to slim and feminise the face. Alternatively, in cases where the bone rather than the muscle is the cause of a wider jaw, dermal fillers can help to contour and reshape the structure of the face.
