Bone, Muscle, Fat or Fluid — Identifying What Is Actually Wide
A wide lower face has four possible causes and each has a different treatment. Treating the wrong one produces no change at considerable cost.
1. Masseter hypertrophy responds to muscle relaxant
Palpable, firm bulging at the jaw angle when clenching indicates muscle. This is the presentation that responds well and predictably.
2. Buccal fat produces fullness lower and more medially
Fat-driven fullness sits in the cheek hollow rather than at the angle. It does not respond to masseter treatment, and removal is a surgical decision with long-term consequences as the face ages.
3. Skeletal width cannot be changed non-surgically
A wide bigonial distance is bone. Chin projection and midface volume can rebalance the proportion, but the width itself is fixed.
4. Fluid retention fluctuates and is not structural
Fullness that varies with sleep, salt and time of day is not a contour problem and should not be treated as one.
