Causes of Square Jaw

A square jaw is not always due to a large jawbone.
In many cases, it is caused by the development of the masseter muscle (chewing muscle), resulting in a muscular square jaw.
Habits such as teeth grinding, clenching, or frequently consuming tough foods can enlarge and thicken the masseter muscle, making the jawline appear angular.
Additionally, having chubby cheeks and subcutaneous fat can make the face appear wider, and enlarged salivary glands can cause the jawline to look swollen.
Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation of four factors—bone structure, muscle, fat, and salivary glands—is necessary to determine the cause of a square jaw.
What if it's a muscular square jaw?

If the area below your cheekbones and along your jawline feels firm and protrudes when you clench your teeth, you likely have a muscular square jaw.
In this case, Botox can be a good option.
If the issue is with the bone structure, surgical intervention may be necessary. If there is excess fat, fat-dissolving injections may be administered alongside Botox.
Square Jaw Botox: Principle and Effects

Botulinum toxin, the main ingredient in Botox, blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, at the junction between nerves and muscles.
As a result, the muscle cannot contract and gradually atrophies, reducing in size.
About 1 to 2 weeks after the injection, the jaw muscles will begin to feel softer, and changes in the jawline will become visible around 4 weeks.
With repeated treatments, you can expect a smoother and more defined jawline.
The effects typically last for about 3 months.
Botox: Technique Matters, Even Though It Seems Simple

Square jaw Botox may seem like a simple injection into the jaw, but the injection depth, angle, distribution, and dosage are crucial.
Injecting too deeply can affect nerves or blood vessels, while injecting too superficially can reduce the effectiveness.
Also, if one muscle is more developed than the other, the dosage on each side must be adjusted differently to achieve symmetry.
Inexperienced practitioners may inject into the facial expression muscle area, which can cause an unnatural expression when smiling. Therefore, a skilled practitioner's meticulous procedure is essential.
Salivary Gland Enlargement? Consider Salivary Gland Botox

If enlarged parotid or submandibular glands cause the jawline to appear swollen, Botox can be injected into the salivary glands instead of the masseter muscle.
Botox reduces the secretion signals of the salivary glands, which can help to gradually reduce their size.
However, in this case, it is safer to perform the procedure while checking the location with ultrasound.
Why Does Botox Resistance Develop?

If Botox is injected too frequently or in large doses, the body may develop antibodies, leading to resistance and reduced effectiveness.
To minimize this, it is important to use the necessary minimum dose at appropriate intervals.
Recently, 'pure toxin' formulations (e.g., Xeomin, Coretox) from which complex proteins have been removed have been developed to help reduce the risk of resistance.
Square jaw Botox is an effective way to soften an angular jawline caused by developed muscles.
However, the treatment method varies depending on the cause, and even with the same Botox treatment, the results can vary depending on the practitioner's experience and technique.
Because the dosage, depth, and injection location must be carefully adjusted to achieve natural-looking results, it is best to receive repeated treatments from the same practitioner whenever possible.
All procedures may have individual variations, and side effects such as swelling, inflammation, and bleeding may occur, so caution is advised.
