Botox Treatment for Square Jaw Reduction - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It's considered by most people throughout the world that having a square lower jaw is a masculine trait. Men naturally have a strong chin and a strong, square jaw line is distinctly masculine, but many women would prefer a softer, more feminine shape to their face. And while a square jaw line is an entirely acceptable look for a woman, the female jaw is thinner than the male jaw and has slightly rounded corners and the angles, while it is square, it's not blunt.

A few key characteristics that distinguish a male jaw from a female one:

• Men tend to have longer chins.
• The angles of a man’s jaw are sharp, making it look square, where a square jaw on a woman still has a curve.
• On a man’s face the chin is flat at the base but pointed on a woman.
• A male jaw looks wider, heavier, and thicker than a female jaw.

A typical female jaw curves gently, extending from the ear down to the chin, and although this shape is often associated as being the most feminine or the most common, many women who our society considers attractive, have a more angular, masculine jaw line. By changing the shape of the face from square to a more ladylike round or oval shape.

It's been said that some women with a square jaw have slightly higher testosterone levels than average, but in many women it's simply an ethnic feature. But, a square jaw line is not necessarily just a man's facial feature as some of the most beautiful women in the world, Angelina Jolie, Selma Hayek and Keira Knightley have square jaws.



Angelina Jolie has a strong square jaw line.

Kiera Knightley has a square shaped face.

If a strong, square jaw line becomes too pronounced, it can make the face appear masculine and in turn cause self-consciousness. Masseter muscles in the jaw are responsible for jaw motion, and as with any muscle, the jaw muscles increase in size with exercise, and actions such as repeated gum chewing, teeth clenching or grinding the teeth in your sleep, can cause the muscle to increase, which can create a visibly square appearance in the face.

One solution for square jaw reduction is botox treatment which is an effective treatment for people with over-developed jaw muscles. At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic an advanced botox technique is used to correct a square jaw. The botox is precisely injected into the masseter muscles of the jaw to weaken it. When it weakens, the size of the muscle will reduce and as the masseter muscle decreases in size post injection, an oval face develops.

Women with a squared jaw seem to have issues with their appearance as it makes their face look a lot bigger. However, getting botox to curve their square jaw is becoming popular among women, for greater, softer look.
