Does testosterone make your jaw bigger? Is this a permanent change?
You must be thinking of growth hormone, not testosterone.
Barring cosmetic surgery, bone growth tends to be rather permanent, yes.
I thought the same thing during my first cycle. Turns out my face is the first to show water retention. I develop the classic chipmunk cheeks. lol
NO
Not if you do it moderately. But yes it will give you a square jaw with heavy usage. How do you think transsexuals end up looking more like a man more so then some guys.
I don’t know the dosage they get but to transform girly woman into full blown man it takes testosterone. The transformation includes a square jaw, facial hair, baldness, lower vocal tone and increased muscle. I knew about that for a long time and until recently it was confirmed after i watched a documentry on the subject, pretty nasty. The doctor speaking in the documentry revealed he used to be a woman at the end. lol No way to tell.
Also just take a look at any professional woman bodybuilder, they have square jaws. With very heavy steroid usage you end up looking like a neandrathal. (sorry for the spelling)
Jay Cutler’s head says yes.

Bigot…
I was under the impression that only growth, at extremely high dosages can cause the jaw line to be more pronounced. I didn’t think test could do that.
I’m by no means an expert on the topic however.

Not to diss any professional female bodybuilders since they could crush me, but most DO have square jaws. Sorry to offend you Blacksnake.
It just comes with the territory, more muscle, higher the bone density with super heavy useage. (Until later in life that is) Like Arnold breaking his leg by just tripping over his ski pole (which btw had to be put back together with screws)

Why didn’t he just buy a new ski pole? He is rich as hell.
lol His leg frankie not the ski pole. Sorry if I worded that wrong…

Except you’re not taking into consideration that they’re using growth too. It’s the GH doing it, not the test, IMO.

I shouldn’t of actually gone into the subject of female bodybuilders at all. I was referring to the documentery I saw about testosterone changing the human body from female to male, which with heavy usage included a pronounced square jaw. They mentioned nothing about HGH so I can’t say. Yes, to my understanding HGH does this for sure like you said.
It makes your androgenic features more pronounced. So, yes. But it’s not the ‘wild growth’ you get from GH.
at doses of 700+mgs a week of test you can see a ‘bulge’ in my cheeks.
This aside, it is the water retention and hypertrophy of the muscles in your cheeks/jaws that causes this (of course it is coming from the increased androgens in your body). Look at ANY steroid using bodybuilder and you will almost certainly see this.
Some people naturally have the semi spherical bump on their cheek/jaw.
Oh we’re bumping three year old threads now? Cool.
