What Causes Shape Change Of Jaws?

Hi. I have concerns with the shape of my jaw, I recently grew a beard and while grooming I used to twist the hair at the ends, end of the jaw to get the hair into a shape, now i ve taken off the beard and my jaw looks flattened, and smaller, can this be the cause, or can extreme stress cause it?

Hello,

The change in the jaw bone has nothing to do with the beard and the grooming. It's just that you may have noticed the jaw after a long time which may have made you felt the jaw is flattened and smaller.

In fact, it will be much the same as it was before. Maybe some additional fat tissue deposition can occur at the muscles or else nothing more than that I feel.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
