For some reason I'm on the mailing list of a plastic surgeon, a legitimate one, and today I got this:


Do you have a wide lower face?



Consider participation in a masseter muscle prominence clinical research study. A clinical research study is enrolling participatns [sic. I've always wanted to say that.] to evaluate an investigatinal [sic] study intervention to reduce a wide lower face.



To qualify, you must meet these criteria:



Be at least 18 years of age Have a wide lower face Must be available for a total of 15 study visits over a period of approximately 12 month



All study-related care will be provided at no cost. Compensation for time and travel may be available. For more information, email Nancy@.....



I've never heard of anyone with a wide lower face!! Certainly not one that was a problem. The email included pictures of a man and woman, and they looked fine to me. In fact if their lower faces were any narrower, they have Narrow Lower Face.



(I'd never even heard of a lower face before, but I guess I know what it is.)



Have you ever come across this? As a problem?



In the graphic it called it Masseter muscle prominence study.

I think "wide lower face" means the frontal view of person's face appears to have big jaw bone. It is not pretty for a woman to have "wide lower face". Women with big jaw bones would wear long hair to cover their jaw bones, e.g., Jennifer Aniston.

Buried in this article is a picture showing the same woman with varying (simulated) prominence of the masseter muscle.

Very interesting. Some picturss reminded me of Elan Musk**. I wonder if he is one of Them. What if I'm one of Them and I didn't notice myself either?

**Jennifer Anniston is much cuter.

This is good information. I was going to ask her to go away for the weekend with me. Now that I know she may have a wide lower face, I'm going to pass on that.

Agreed, the weekend is off the table, but a couple of weekdays might be an option.

Even though she's probably free this weekend, I don't blame you. What would be even worse is if her lower face were wider than mine.
