Men- you don’t need to suffer in silence

Masculine Max- By Chris Wild, Vie Aesthetics client, Best-Selling Author, Actor & Artist

I recently had a picture taken for some media work online, when I noticed that my chin was incredibly small, incongruous to the rest of my face. I hadn’t noticed it before, or maybe I had, but I’d never put too much thought into it. Until now. I live a relatively healthy life for a 43-year-old man with a very demanding job and two young children. I would say I sometimes let stress get the better of me and for that reason I am prone to have the odd glass of wine with cheese. Nothing too indulgent. It is a trivial luxury I don’t want to give up. I have never been a big drinker or a fan of fast food, but life and age take control and every now and then I slip a little. I might even have the odd McDonalds here and there and skip leg day in the gym. The curse of an ageing man.

My jawline does not have any structure, it doesn’t look masculine. My chin and my neck have no gap. From a front profile you wouldn’t be able to notice it, but from a side profile it’s very noticeable.

I call it small jaw syndrome.

Once you have become aware of something on your body or face which you personally think is out of place, it starts to obstruct everything else in your life and that specific thing takes over. I remember looking back over my wedding photos and not seeing how special the day was but my chin- or the lack of chin in my pictures. It made me feel insecure.

Every man wants a jawline like George Clooney.

I was sitting on the tube doing jaw exercises thinking it would define my profile. I must have looked crazy. Most men in their late 30’s will tell you that they are comfortable with how they look but there is a large percentage who suffer in silence; I was one of those statistics. The professional, or medical terminology is Retrognathia, formally known as mandibular retrognathia. It’s a condition in which the lower jaw is set further back than the upper jaw, making it look like you have a severe overbite or no neck. We live in times where cosmetic surgery is affordable depending on what you’re willing to pay to gain the look for you.

Since hitting the big 40, I have started taking extra care of myself, not just for health reasons but also for my confidence. I know from my own personal struggles with mental health that men must live up to this bravado and if men do not have that high paying salary, the car, the house, the family, the money, the six pack then society brands you a failure. I want to feel good about myself and if having a little Botox here and there resolves those insecurities then so be it. I am not saying that this will resolve all your problems but for me personally it helped. I made a call to my trusted Dr at Vie Aesthetics Holborn, Dr Liakas, and made an appointment to discuss my chin. Random but common. More, and more men are taking to aesthetics to strengthen their jawline which inevitably helps with their confidence.

The procedure is called Masculine Max. A non-invasive cosmetic procedure that emphasizes and defines the lower face contours. A Texas jawline has three main features: a small chin, slim neck, and a natural looking defined jaw.

A little injection here and there with dermal filler around the jawline area and the results are visible within minutes. My message is very clear.

No-one needs to suffer in silence anymore. People go to the gym to improve their body, to get fit and become more confident. We all want to look our best regardless. Hairdressers. Dentist. Clothes. Cosmetics. Why let anything make you feel insecure in 2023. And the procedure is not overly expensive. Anything positive is worth investing in and that includes yourself.
