The two most notable characteristics of the human face are the jawline and the cheekbones. Both play a large role in how attractive we appear to others while also serving to frame the other characteristics of the face.
A well-defined jawline on a man has always been considered a symbol of strength, attractiveness, and confidence. Unfortunately, not all men are pleased with the way their jawline looks, and it affects their self-esteem and can even interfere with their relationships. Did you know that a scientific study discovered that women found men with a strong jawline more sexually attractive? It’s no wonder that many men aspire to achieve a more sculpted and masculine jawline.
Today we are going to talk about how to improve a male jawline. We are going to look into the factors that can hinder a man from achieving the jawline he desires, as well as solutions for achieving the stronger, more angular jawline often associated with masculinity and strength.
What Factors Contribute To The Contour Of The Male Jawline?
There are several factors that can hinder a man’s desire for a defined jawline. Some of these factors include:
- Genetics
- Genetics play a significant role in determining the shape and underlying foundation of your jawline. A man’s genetic makeup plays a significant role in determining the structure of the bones in his face. Men with a broader and more pronounced jawbone will naturally have a more defined and angular jawline.
Genetics also influence how big your facial muscles will be as well as exactly how they are configured. They also affect the distribution of fat on the face. Some men may inherit less defined jawlines due to their family history.
- Aging
- As men get older, many tend to notice a decrease in skin elasticity and muscle tone, which can result in a less pronounced jawline. This can lead to the skin becoming saggy and the development of jowls.
- Weight Gain
- Excess body fat, particularly around the neck and jaw area, can obscure the definition of the jawline. Weight loss can help reveal a more defined jawline.
- Double Chin
- Men can develop the feared “double chin,” caused by an accumulation of fat in the submental region, which can obscure the lines between the jawline and the neck. Fat in this area can be very difficult to get rid of without some type of cosmetic procedure, as it does not typically respond to exercise or dietary changes.
- Poor Posture
- Slouching or poor posture can contribute to a less defined jawline. Proper posture can help maintain the natural contours of the neck and jaw.
How to Improve The Male Jawline
Men often express dissatisfaction with the lack of definition in their jawlines and often desire a more masculine and chiseled appearance. The good news is that there are various options available to address these concerns and help them achieve the jawline they desire.
Surgical Options
Buccal fat excision: The lower cheek region on both sides of the face contains a deep fat pad called the buccal fat pad. Men who have full cheeks or a “baby face” may wish to have this fat removed to provide a more classically handsome appearance. The process is known as buccal fat excision and involves removing or reducing the fat pads in that area to give the lower portion of the face a more slim or sculpted appearance.
Cheek liposuction: Eliminating or reducing fat in and around the cheeks using liposuction is another method for changing or contouring the shape of the middle and lower face. Tiny incisions and a special tool that vacuums away the fat are used during this moderately invasive surgery.
Chin implants: A special implant can be used to enhance the projection of the chin and create a stronger jawline in a man. Implant procedures can be combined with non-surgical jawline contouring for optimal results.
Neck lift can address sagging skin and muscle laxity in the neck and jaw area, resulting in a smoother and more defined jawline.
Jawline contouring surgery: This surgical procedure involves reshaping the jawline by removing excess fat, tightening loose skin, and potentially augmenting the bone structure. It provides long-lasting results but involves a recovery period.
Non-Surgical Options
Healthy life choices: Eating a clean diet and engaging in regular exercise can help shed excess body fat and reveal the jawline’s natural contours.
Grooming: Proper grooming, such as maintaining a well-trimmed beard or facial hair, can accentuate the jawline and create the illusion of sharper angles.
Dermal fillers: Injectable dermal fillers, like hyaluronic acid, can be used to add volume to areas that need it and can be used to further define the jawline, creating a more masculine appearance.
Fat melting injections: Kybella injections are made of deoxycholic acid, a chemical already present in the human body, for the purpose of fat breakdown and elimination. It works well to get rid of that annoying double chin.
FaceTite is a procedure that acts as a “mini facelift” and can help tighten up the appearance of loose skin, remove excess fat, and create a more defined jawline area. It is a minimally invasive treatment that involves the use of radiofrequency energy that tightens the skin, liquefies the fat, and triggers the generation of new collagen.
Morpheus8: is a treatment that uses both microneedling and radio frequency to address a number of cosmetic issues. It can be used on the face to improve the jawline in male and female patients. The combination of these two techniques can melt unwanted fat, tighten up loose skin, and deliver a more definitive jawline. One amazing benefit of this treatment is that the results just keep getting better and better because, as the body’s healing nature kicks in, new collagen and elastin are formed.
