The large muscle at the angle of the jaw, the one you can feel tighten when you clench, is naturally strong or prominent in some people, giving the lower face a heavier, more square appearance. Where suitable, the jawline can be gradually slimmed and refined over several weeks: a subtle reshaping, assessed individually.
The concerns people describe
People usually raise this as a wish to soften the appearance of a strong, square jawline over time.
How it's approached
Treatment is considered only after assessing the jaw, your goals and your medical history. Where appropriate, the aim is to gradually soften a heavy jawline, a change that develops over weeks, not immediately.
- Focused on the jaw, assessed individually
- The effect develops gradually over several weeks
- Approached conservatively, and reviewed as we go
- Suitability depends on your anatomy and goals
Assessed, not assumed
Whether this suits you depends on your individual circumstances, which is what a consultation is for. Your options, suitability and pricing are discussed privately there.
Risks, recovery and realistic expectations
This is a medical procedure and carries some risk. Temporary effects such as tenderness, bruising, or an unfamiliar feeling when chewing can occur, and results build gradually; the risks and what to expect will be explained in full beforehand. The effect is temporary and needs an ongoing approach to maintain. Individual results vary, and what's appropriate for you is determined only after a proper assessment.
