Should I train my masseters for my face shape?

[celo k]

I’ve been training mine for a month bc of my narrow lower third. Should I continue to train or would it make my face look too square bc I have a long midface—also Idk if I have low or high set masseters

Very jealous of your coloring

Looks like you have quite severe asymmetry, are you chewing mostly on your right side or what? right side jaw seems way more developed

Training your masseters can definitely help widen a narrow lower third, but you have to be careful with a long midface because adding too much horizontal bulk can sometimes create a heavy or bottom-heavy look that highlights the facial length rather than balancing it.

If you have high-set masseters, the muscle bulk sits closer to your cheekbones, which usually creates a more tapered, V-shaped look that complements a long face well; however, if yours are low-set (meaning the bulk is right at the jaw angle), overtraining can make your face look very square or blocky, which might clash with your midface proportions. You can usually tell the difference by clenching your teeth and feeling where the hardest part of the muscle pops out: if it's right at the corner of your jaw, it's low-set, but if it feels higher up toward your ear, it's high-set.
I’d suggest shifting toward maintenance rather than aggressive growth—maybe hit them once or twice a week—to ensure you don't overdevelop the muscle to the point where it distorts your natural bone structure or causes TMJ issues.

Prob. Been using mastic gum and I’ve heard that could lead to asymmetry (I don’t time each side precisely)
