Here's a breakdown of what makes up the jawline:
* Angle of the mandible: This is the most prominent part of the jawline, located where the mandible turns upwards towards the ear. It gives the jawline its shape and definition.
* Ramus of the mandible: This is the vertical part of the jawbone that connects the angle to the temporal bone near the ear.
* Chin: The bony prominence at the bottom of the mandible.
* Soft tissues: These include skin, muscles, and fat that cover the jawbone and contribute to the overall shape and appearance of the jawline.
The jawline can vary in shape, size, and definition from person to person, influenced by factors like genetics, age, and weight. It's a common area of focus for cosmetic procedures like jawline contouring and chin augmentation.
