JAW MUSCLE & LOWER FACE CONCERNS

YOUR UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE JAW MUSCLES AND LOWER FACE

The masseter muscles are located at the sides of the jaw and play an important role in chewing and jaw movement.

​

Their size and activity vary naturally between individuals and can influence the appearance of the lower face.

​

WHAT CAN INFLUENCE THE JAW AREA

The appearance of the lower jaw can be influenced by:

• Masseter muscle size

• Individual facial anatomy

• Bone structure

• Facial proportions

• Jaw movement

• Genetics

• Natural facial asymmetry

 

Jaw discomfort, clenching and other functional concerns can also have multiple causes and may require assessment by an appropriate medical or dental practitioner.

​

YOUR CONSULTATION

Where your concern relates to facial appearance, I assess the jaw muscles in the context of your overall lower-face anatomy and proportions.

​

Your medical history, anatomy and individual concerns are assessed before any appropriate management options are discussed.

​

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Cosmetic procedures are not suitable for everyone and carry risks and potential complications. Individual suitability, alternatives, limitations, expected recovery and relevant risks are discussed during consultation. Results and experiences vary between individuals. A consultation does not mean you are required to proceed with a procedure.
