I’ve gone from having big masseters, to getting botox masseter reduction, to regaining my masseters again through chewing.
At first I believed that big masseters were a negative thing, hence the botox. I have no regrets, as getting the botox has taught me how important big masseters/jaw width really is.
When my masseters were at their smallest:
- From the front, my face started looking more feminine due to the narrower, softer lower third. My head and zygos started overpowering my jaw, giving me a gay alien skull look. Had to keep the sides of my hair extremely short otherwise my jaw would look even smaller.
- From the side was where I saw the biggest impact: My ramus got shorter and my gonial angle increased and also looked more rounder. Masseters give the gonial most of it’s shape and increases ramus length. Also in the long run, weaker masseters will lead to the bone around the gonial getting smaller due to less force being placed on it.
Small masseters on the left, big on the right, see the difference in gonial and ramus:

@Zyros I know you’ve had this done, what do you think?
TL;DR
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A WIDE + MASCULINE JAW, YOU NEED TO START CHEWING GUM AND HARD FOODS.
