SQUARE FACE
ABOUT
Our facial shape is achieved through symmetry across bony structures and fatty deposits. There is also musculature that can affect facial shape. One that might create frustration for women, in particular, is the masseter muscle. This is the tissue that connects the upper and lower jawbone. Due to its position on the lower cheek, the masseter muscle gets a bit of a workout when we chew gum or grind and clench our teeth. For the person who does either of these two things regularly, there is a chance that the masseter muscle may become chronically enlarged and tensed. Specific contours characterize the female face. A square jawline presents a more masculine appearance and may frustrate a woman who would like to maintain a more feminine oval or V-shaped face.
OUR RECOMMENDATION
At CK Plastic Surgery we have several options to create a more V-shaped face.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy is the only non-invasive procedure FDA-cleared to lift skin on the neck, under the chin and on the jowl area. Because of this Ultherapy can tigthen the skin in areas that cause the face to look square.
Ultherapy harnesses the power of ultrasound to transform the jowl area to a more youthful appearance. Ultrasound, of course, has been used throughout the medical field for more than 50 years—and Ultherapy has been established as effective in clinical studies* and in over a million treatments worldwide.
