Building muscle in the right places can definitely make your face look wider. Some women who feel their jaw is too wide have their masseter botoxed to reduce its action and width (just google botox masseter), and I've reduced the width of my jaw by stopping my teeth clenching habit.
So, if you want a wider jaw, really work on the masseter exercises (some programmes won't really be into this, as most women don't want a wider jaw, but I know Flexeffect has one).
If you want thicker mid cheeks, Flexeffect and Ageless have exercises for that, and all the essential 'lifting' exercises that work the upper cheek muscles will give you a more 'cheekbony' look - the one I'm keen on.
These programmes use facial resistance training: ie. real muscle building with your hands as 'weights', not just making a few expressions as some programmes do.
Also, study in the mirror how you hold your face. Do you let your jaw droop low, do you mouth-breathe? The latter problem can cause an unattractive long-faced look, and is best resolved by checking for dustmite or other allergies and dealing with those.
Overall though: there is nothing wrong or unttractive about a narrow face. Some great beauties have narrow faces, eg. Jerry Hall. Maybe a bit of facial resistance training in the right spots will just lift and widen a few areas for you. |

I'm a guy who had a relatively thin face and an untoned jawline. I've been practicing facial exercises for almost 2 years now and exceedingly pleased with the results (as are other people, I've noticed  ). The one exercise to strengthen the jawline, widen the face, and suck up the saggy double chin underneath that I've found most effective was from a book (which I've now forgotten the title and author of, but it wasn't Carol Maggio, and I'm not sure if it's still in print), but....
If rest your chin on your fist and press down with your jaw until your jaw is fully extended, using your fist to apply pressure/tension, like lifting a weight - do that until your jaw is tired (mine is about 45 "reps"). Then give your jaw 5-10 min. of rest and do it again until you've completed about 3 sets. Then I give my face 4 days to a week to recover before I do it again. I'm getting to the point where I like how it looks and am only doing maintenance reps occasionally as needed. |
