The mandible is the lower jaw, the only freely moving facial bone.[1] Looksmaxxing’s jawline is this bone plus fat, masseter, and light.
Parts
- Body — the horseshoe that carries teeth.
- Ramus — the vertical back; ramus height is a scene metric.
- Angle / gonion — where ramus meets body; gonial angle.
- Condyle — joint (TMJ).
- Coronoid process — muscle attachment, not a rating target.
- Alveolar process — teeth.
- Chin — mental protuberance; pogonion / menton in cephalometrics. See chin.
Scene talk
Square gonial angle, long ramus, low mandibular plane, wide bigonial width, a chin that meets Riedel’s line. Most of what you see on camera is still body fat and beard. Osteotomies (sliding genioplasty, chin wing osteotomy, BSSO) and custom jawline implants are medicine.
