Hi everyone,
Recently came across this post from a while back and it is unbelievably impressive. If anyone else wants to check it out, here's the link: /community/community/case-discussions/great-results-found-on-reddit/ . I literally plan on copying this guy's routine letter by letter lmao
I've also noticed that his eyes are unbelievably similar to how mine are now; clearly some hooding and positive canthal tilt, but a lack of maxillary growth prevents one from having an eye area considered at all desirable. This has given me some hope!
I have one issue though, unfortunately, suffering from TMJ, chewing gum (as he suggested and as those in the forum suggested) simply isn't possible for me: instead of actually helping me achieve a stronger jawline, all it does is cause significant pain. In addition to this, because TMJ causes an uneven force in your bite: all that happens when chewing hard foods and gum is that the right side of my jaw balloons and the left side stays pretty much the same. Lmao, Trust me, it's not a good look (I even have a photo of it which I might drop which illustrates this).
I'd just like to add that, in case anyone suggests it, having mewed for the past few months and from my personal experience, mewing has no effect in correcting facial asymmetry.
In fact, if anything, because of my TMJ, I should be sticking exclusively to soft foods.
So, out of interest, how important is chewing hard gum in achieving a strong brow ridge/maxillary growth and hunter eyes? Will not chewing gum and sticking primarily to soft foods limit the growth of my maxilla?
Or is chewing gum used purely as a means of developing the masseter, rather than having anything to do with pushing my maxilla upwards and helping achieve hunter eyes?
I have hooded eyes. I assume it's genetic. But I don't know that.
Well, in theory, it wouldn't do much to the maxilla. Chewing is best for the masseter muscles. The best way to bring it forward is through hard mewing and chink tucks. That's exactly what the guy you mentioned (helmutstrebl) did (extreme chin tucks and mewing so hard the hyoid bone hurts, also focusing on the back third of the tongue).
@thomas22 Partly genetic, partly lifestyle habits. Both my brother and sister have hooded eyes, for example, but I don't (well, mine are hooded, just not to the same extent as theirs, suggesting I've probably got the potential to have them but don't because of factors outside of genetics). Mainly poor posture and other related lifestyle habits which impact your facial features.
Not a single person with poor posture has a good eye area. Change my mind lol.

Agreed - my left and right profiles are very different.
You'd be surprised what squinting can do.
