When you look at a square jaw, the first thing that comes to mind is that it gives a more masculine appearance. This may be favorable to men; however this is of concern when this feature is seen in a womans facial structure. That is why square jaw reduction will help improve this problem to give a more feminine form to the face.

The reason why individuals, particularly women, who have square jaws, opt for a square reduction procedure is because an oval-shaped face is more preferred than an edgier one. This also gives a more elegant and gentle appearance.

An angular face on the other hand can give a person a rather plump and severe look. Although it can be masked through certain hairstyles and make-up, some still long for that permanent improvement.

In the past, the only remedy for square jaws is surgical intervention. But today, there is no longer any need to slice up the jaw line to chisel it into a softer shape. Through the help of Botox, a non-invasive procedure that offers a natural appearance is made possible.

Botox is a drug that is derived from the toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum. This is the same toxin that causes food poisoning, but in very small calculated doses, this has positive effects. You may have known this mainly because it is widely popular and preferred antiaging treatment in Hollywood. It blocks muscle contraction slowly erasing and preventing wrinkles.

For square jaw reduction, Botox is injected into both sides of the face. This relaxes the muscles and eventually weakens it, leading it to become smaller and then atrophy. You see this is a helpful mechanism in that muscle enlargement in the jaw area, particularly the masseter muscle, is common especially for those who are suffering from bruxism, TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint) aching, clenching of the teeth and excessive chewing on gum or other hard items.

The enlargement of the masseter muscles causes cosmetic concerns. Through a tiny injection made by a fine needle these individuals are able to start the process of reducing that prominent jawline in just a matter of minutes. Usually this would take only ten minutes with brief and minimal discomfort. It doesnt require any down time, allowing the patient to resume normal activities immediately afterwards.

Botox also relieves TMJ aching and tension by weakening the muscles making them unable to make those powerful and repeated jaw movements.

Results may not be observed for at least 2-3 weeks time. But a great improvement can be made visible within 2-3 months, and results can last to a year or more.

Since everyone has a unique facial feature each treatment is personalized. You should find yourself a good surgeon who will assess you properly in order to give you that appropriate shape that is aesthetically suiting for you. Through this assessment a surgeon is also able to decide the amount of sessions that you would need.

A rare complication that can be expected from square jaw reduction through Botox injection is temporary paralysis on the treated area.

But with a good surgeon who has the eye for aesthetics and the skills to define the face into a much softer shape, you will definitely have those dramatic and natural-looking results.
