Having a square lower jaw is considered a masculine trait by most people throughout the world. A wider jawline can cause the entire face to take on a square appearance and can also distort the natural look of the proportion of one's chin and neck. Also known as the mandible, the jaw can cause disharmony in the face when asymmetry is involved. The widening of the jaw can occur with age because of enlargement of the bone, or from enlargement of the muscles used for chewing.
