I am 38. Started mewing some weeks ago. Started chewing mastic gum 3 days ago.
The pictures are about 10 days apart. I had extractions as a teenager and orthodontic treatment due to macrodontia they said, teeth were too big for my face. It basically didn't really work. I had to wear that external headgear that pulls your molars BACK to make space, and even after all that I was never able to properly close my mouth, tongue always rested low, deviated septum. look how freakin long is my philtrum.
I started to look much more like my beautiful mother, I can see her in me.
She had big teeth but an amazing jawline and beautifully simmetric face features.
For reference, a picture of my mother at 38.
Your facial structure is so different than hers. I wonder if they thought you needed extractions because of your narrow face? But I bet your vertical/downward growth just created that effect. I doubt your mother has a wide face; she probably just has a short one and so big teeth don't look off on her.
Either way keep up the good work. Your masseters already look more developed . Be sure to engage your posterior tongue more, too. It has helped me with facial shortening and with making my jawline and cheeks more defined.
I'm sorry but nothing changed.
not so much from profile yet (i am 38) but my mouth posture is so much better. It will take me years before i can grow a bit but my face already "shortened" a bit optically.
sorry for the misleading title, I changed it: this can't be defined a result but the beginning of a progress.
English is not my native language, apologies.
Just want to throw in you look very pretty for a 38 year old woman.
thank you for moving it to the right place.
yes my lower third changed a lot and my nasolabial folds (smile lines) are reduced.
mostly my mouth and neck posture improved.
in this picture i look extremely tired but look, even the bags under my eyes look less deep. it's slowly working. i will continue posting my progress.
Hi frappa,
have you ever been told by someone you know that you look better/healthier/different?
I been getting that a lot the last few months and I been mewing for over a year. people keep telling me I look better/healthier and more masculine. I rly don't know man,.
yes, before is on the left and after on the right.
in the before the head is slightly tilted forward and my face looks flatter. i should create a gif
yes everybody tells me that I look healthier / happier / more youthful.
I will post some more progress pictures soon
Weeks? I think it's a placebo, to be honest. changes take months if not years.
I recommend you make the effort to take photos with FLASH and keeping your head at the exact same angle every time. Like most people on this fourm are aware, a tiny change of tilting your head, for example, can give the illusion of progress. Just a bit of constructive criticism!
i think you are very beautiful! i dont think long philtrum is really an issue haha many celebrities have it too.
All i see is change in lightning and facial expression. But if it makes you feel happier thats great i guess.
I think u look better in the before... your jaw was already wide... you just need to fix you recession... upswing to your jaws wider cheekbones and improved eye area which u could improve with Surgery if mewing didn't work later...
