Mandibular Angle Prominence
Description
Mandibular angle prominence, often called "square jaw," "bulky jawline," or "prominent jaw angle," refers to noticeably sharp or wide jaw corners that can give the lower face a strong, angular appearance. This feature may result from a pronounced jawbone, enlarged chewing muscles (masseter hypertrophy), or a combination of both, and is sometimes linked with terms like "wide lower face," "jawline prominence," and "prognathism." Many people with a prominent jawline feel that it makes their facial features look rough or masculine, and may seek cosmetic solutions like jaw reduction or "V-line surgery" for a softer, more balanced look — a particularly popular option in Korea, where an oval or “egg-shaped” face is often preferred. Besides its impact on appearance, mandibular angle prominence can affect chewing, speech, and oral comfort in some cases, making surgical treatment a choice for both aesthetic and functional reasons.
