Story

This patient visited Medical Aesthetics 360° with concerns about a broader lower face, a more prominent jawline, and ongoing jaw tension related to teeth grinding, also known as bruxism.

Over time, she had noticed that her jaw felt tight and overworked, especially during stressful periods. Along with the discomfort, she also felt that the lower part of her face appeared heavier and wider than she preferred. Like many patients seeking face slimming treatment in Sydney, she was not looking for a dramatic or artificial change. Her goal was a softer, more balanced facial contour while also improving the feeling of muscle tightness in the jaw.

During her consultation at Medical Aesthetics 360°, Dr Chun-Yen Huang assessed her facial structure, jaw muscle activity, and overall facial balance. He explained that a wider or heavier-looking lower face can sometimes be associated with overactive jaw muscles, particularly in patients who frequently clench or grind their teeth.

A personalised treatment plan was recommended to help relax the overactive jaw muscles, reduce the appearance of lower-face heaviness, and support a more balanced facial shape. The aim was to create a gradual and natural-looking improvement while maintaining normal facial expression.

This approach focused on softening the jawline rather than changing the patient’s natural features. Over time, the lower face appeared more refined, the jawline looked less bulky, and the overall facial contour became more harmonious.

For patients experiencing jaw tightness, teeth grinding, or concerns about a square or heavy lower face, a consultation can help determine whether jawline slimming treatment may be suitable. At Medical Aesthetics 360°, consultations are available at both our Hurstville and Chatswood clinics in Sydney.
