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.
A neck lift can address saggy skin and loose muscles in the neck and along the jawline to create a smoother and more definitive contour.
Surgery to contour the jawline: During this surgical procedure, the jawline is reshaped through the removal of excess fat, and tightening of loose skin, and also involves changing the bone structure. This type of surgical intervention provides long-lasting results but comes with the price of a long recovery period.
Non-Surgical Options
Choosing a healthy lifestyle: Eating a clean diet and engaging in daily physical activity can help you shed extra body fat which will unmask the natural contours of the jawline.
Grooming: Keeping your beard and facial hair trimmed, and well-groomed, can help highlight your jawline and create an illusion of more defined angles.
Dermal fillers: Hyaluronic acid can be used to add fullness and provide more definition to the jawline, helping to create a more masculine-looking appearance.
Fat melting injections: Deoxycholic acid is the main ingredient in injectable Kybella and is identical to a chemical that is naturally found in your body. This chemical is responsible for breaking down and eliminating fat, making Kybella a great option for getting rid of an unwanted double chin.
FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that can perform something close to magic. It can almost replicate the results of a mini facelift without having to actually undergo surgery. It can help define the jawline area using radiofrequency that is administered through a special tool. This unique procedure is able to liquify unwanted fat while at the same time tightening the skin in the treated area. An added bonus is that this treatment initiates the production of new collagen so the results continue to improve for several months.
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.
