Do you want indented cheeks? A chiseled jaw? A firm Jowl?
I would like this to become a daily thread and so I beg you to post your progress while doing these beneficial exercises
I would like to motivate other users on /fit to become more conscious of their face. Your face is made up of so many muscles and YES genetics DOES play a SMALL role in the ascetics of your face but you can pretty much mold it to look great. What you cannot alter is the bone structure of your jaw and neck. Some people will find that their progress is much faster than others, this is because some people have shorter facial muscles.
Over a long period of time, everyone forms a bad habit. The most common is tilting your neck forward for view a monitor and breathing in from your mouth. There are MAJOR bad habits that make you develop a low hanging jowl and a poor tongue resting position.
Let’s observe the OP pic.
The main muscles we will focus on are; The Masseter/Buccinator, Platysma, Triangularis, and the Sterno-Cleido
You couldn't open or close your mouth without your masseter muscles. Imbalances or tightness of the masseter on each side of your jaw can contribute to temporo-mandibular joint, or TMJ disorder. Characterized by pain, stiffness and clicking in your jaw, TMJ can cause headaches and neck pain. Stretching and exercising the masseter muscles can restore balance to your jaw and relieve the symptoms of TMJ.
> The Platysma
The platysma muscle extends from the upper portion of the chest to the lower jaw and part of the face, a system of muscles known as the superficial musculoaponeurotic system plane. This group of muscles, when toned, literally holds your neck and jaw line upward in your youth but may separate during the normal aging process, leading to a drooping chin, sagging jaw line and loose skin under the chin known as the turkey neck. Aging and lack of skin and muscle tone encourage the placement of fat layers beneath the muscle sheath.
> Triangularis
Triangularis, a name based on its shape, (also known as Depressor anguli oris) originates in the mandible and platysma and inserts in the skin and orbicular muscle at corner of the mouth. It is a muscle whose evolutionary connection to the platysma is evident, being continuous with it and extending to the mouth. This muscle causes the corners of the mouth to turn down and form the lips into an inverted U, an action stereotyped as indicating grief. It produces a frown in the mouth.
> Sterno-Cleido
Sternocleidomastoid is an important neck muscle that performs several functions requiring two different stretches and two different exercises for strengthening. The SCM muscle has two parts, the front and the back portion; also this muscle rotates, extends and flexes the neck to the side. More than one stretch and strengthening exercise are necessary to make this muscle flexible and strong.

An exercise for the Masseter/Buccinator
( There is a tool called the patakara, it will improve your facial excessive substantially, it gives your face actual resistance training)
Resisted Close
Step 1
Sit in a comfortable position with your head centered over your shoulders. Keep your chin neutral and parallel to the floor.
Step 2
Keep your head stable, relax your jaw and let your mouth open naturally. Put your index finger against your bottom teeth.
Step 3
Press down on your bottom teeth, gently, while trying to close your jaw. Hold for five seconds, release and repeat five times.
Resisted Open
Step 1
Sit in a comfortable position with your head centered over your shoulders. Keep your chin neutral and parallel to the floor.
Step 2
Keep your head stable, and rest your fist under your chin. If necessary, sit a table and rest your elbow on the table to keep your fist stable.
Step 3
Press up, gently, with your fist while trying to open your jaw. Hold for five seconds, release and repeat five times.

Hanging Head Exercise
Lie on your bed with your head hanging slightly over the side. Start with your hands down at your sides, but as you feel your neck growing stronger, place a light hand-held weight against your forehead. Exhaling, slowly lift your chin toward your chest. Hold the contraction for a moment and then relax your head back to your starting position. Repeat this exercise three to five times to start, increasing repetitions as your neck muscles grow stronger.
Chin Firm
Stand or sit with your shoulders relaxed, facing forward. Place your lower lip over your upper lip and tilt your head back, feeling the stretch along the sides of the jaw and along the front of the neck. Stretch until you can see the ceiling, and hold this position for several seconds. For an extra boost, thrust your chin upward slightly to feel added resistance along your lower jaw line and all of the muscles of the platysma, from chin to chest. Slowly return to your starting position and then repeat three to four more times.
Ryan Martin
Have a bump op, I like where this is going
Blake Cook

> Neck Retraction
The neck retraction exercise is a stretch that targets the SCM. To perform this exercise, pull your chin back so the neck aligns neutrally with the spine. The neck retraction is also a posture exercise, because you should always center your neck over your shoulders. This exercise combats the postural deficiency known as forward head posture, a common problem whereby people extend their neck forward by jutting the chin. This tightens the SCM. To do this stretch, align your chin parallel to the floor and pull your head back. Hold the chin retracted for 20 to 30 seconds.
> Side Neck And Rotation Stretch
The side neck and rotation stretch lengthens the SCM muscle in a different manner than the neck retraction. This stretching exercise lengthens the SCM through bending the neck sideways and rotating it away from the side you are stretching. To begin, stand up tall and retract your neck. Then, tilt your head to the left and rotate your chin to point upward to the right until you feel a stretch on the right side of your neck. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and repeat on the other side.
> Wall Side Neck Bridge
The wall side neck bridge strengthens the SCM through lateral flexion, or sideways bending. This exercise uses your body weight as resistance and a wall as an object for the SCM to push against. To begin, stand with your left side against a post or wall. Place the left side of your head against the wall. Hold hands behind your back. Then, step your feet to the right slightly so that you can lean diagonally left against the wall with your feet touching and legs straight. This is the starting position. Next, push against the wall to tilt your neck to the left and move your body to the right. Repeat on the other side.

Luis Butler
Thanks mate!
I actually do not think they have real names, sorry im just not entirely sure.
A good way to activate some of your neck muscles ( directly underneath your chin) is to tilt your head up so your chin is at an angle with the roof. Now slowly try to chew something thats not there without your teeth ever touching.
Colton Ward
So how did you add vertical height to your chin
Jason Rivera
No thats not true Mewing wont give a really defined look. You need motion, there are tools out there that sdd resistance to your face, this will give you DOMs which is great. The only tool i am aware of is the patakara which is a jap tool for fixing peoples face after a stroke.
Its quiet expensive but i think they have a patent on this type of thing
Austin Carter
My bone structure isnt that big on the left pic. Its fat and loose skin resting on and under your chin. Because it is so prevalent it looks to just be a larger chin and all around face.

How often am I to do these exercises? 3x/week? 5x/week? Every day? And how many weeks did it take for you to start seeing results?

How are you being scammed lmao. You have nothing to lose
You can do them every other day, they are small muscles with quick recovery time. I started to notice small changes within a month or so. The more time went on the more dramatic it became
Sorry not at this time. Im at work and its illegal for me to photograph here

the weirdest thing to me is how people use this site, and view threads like a comment system on youtube or facebook. people just toss out whatever shit is on the tip of their tongue without raising a finger to do any research... really makes you think.
while op may be a faggot, he isnt making this shit up
Xavier Cruz
Once you strengthen the mesetter you will keep your mouth sealed shut at rest, this results in a forced breathing pattern through your nose
Andrew Rodriguez
here is the vid that basically goes along with this quote, which is some of an op from a thread from elsewhere on this topic basically youtube.com/watch?v=5mYN7h7pgyc
At the beginning of this post I would like to apologize for my bad English skills and I hope you still understand what I mean. Also, I beg your pardon if this is the wrong board for my message. I am a new member of this website, and I always come across genetics when it comes to different human races. Especially the appearance and attractiveness of a person is often mentioned in this term. For several years now, I have been dealing with our general health and nutrition. Thanks to new experiences, I am firmly convinced that the way we feed ourselves to a large extent affects our genetics either positively, or negatively. I came to this realization when I discovered the works of a man named Weston Andrew Valleau Price. When I understood everything correctly, he was a dentist and nutritionist who was looking for factors that required good health and was lacking in the modern world - he found them mainly in food. Especially in the food of different peoples living in solitude from modern civilization, he found that these had little to no decay / caries and also no degeneration of the body. He also noted that a "deformed body" can be created by a mainly sugary and cereal diet (especially in growth). This means crooked teeth, oblique dentition, a crooked nose, overbite, no midline in the face, small stature and much more. The race did not matter.

> tfw 23 and have a really bad babyface
You don't know how bad it is user. You're lucky. You're handsome (n-no homo). Wait until 27, then use minoxidil if it's still not growing. Working out should naturally boost testosterone to encourage hair growth. You're attractive enough to not need a beard anyway.
Daniel Lewis
You can cut your hair your self... decent scissors, feather razor and your front facing phone camera in front of a mirror is all you really need for medium length hair.
Unless you are paying >$50 per haircut you are really paying for someone to take your money in under an hour.
When you do it yourself, you don't have to do it in under an hour.. it's hard to learn and get perfect but you alone have the most incentive to get to know your hair. Your delts get sore too... so you can do it gradually over the weekend.
Find a guy with exactly the same hair thickness, head shape, front hair line shape and width (there are genes at play here) and try to ascertain how his hair dresser approached the sectioning... watch some hairdresser vids for men, it's ALL about sectioning and angles of the cuts and then the product to hold it all.
Mason Watson
Cheers bro, Yeah /babyface/ mode sucks man. I'm lucky for my height. I've been considering minxodil for some time now, I just want some stubble, not some massive cuckbeard.
Also thanks n-no homo
Thomas Martin
I always read here that applying Vaseline can make your eyebrows grow. Can I use Cetaphil instead or will that not work?
Carson Gonzalez
I can tell you're British like myself. It's a struggle, lel. I'd only use minoxidil as a last resort. I've heard it can cause baldness, whilst giving you more facial hair, so it seems risky. I know how you feel. I've been wanting a beard since I was young and have dark hair, and grow some on my chin and neck, but not as much as you do on your sides.
I wish I looked as good as you user, n-no homo.
Leo Williams
Any thoughts on chewing to induce masseter hypertrophy? It has been my main from of training and lately the muscle seems to be rounding my face out. Perhaps the excessive training has led to water retention.
Mason Cooper

Shave your shitty beard so we can inspect your JAW
James Nguyen
Thats my mum lad, im single. No homo
Im not sure chewing should activate that muscle. Pucker up your lips likenyou wabba give a kiss, now turn your lips either left or right and hold it in that spot ( this is where a pakatara would seriously increase your results, training the mesetter is the hardest, especially without a tool. The pakatara is the only one im aware of, there could be others out there at a cheaper price)
No, I like my beard.

This isn't new. This is what i found to work for me. Im not selling you a product so do what you will with this information. If you want to find out if this works im assuming you can use google. Even if i provided "sources" you wouldnt do this, so this isnt for you, why even post

Sure friend. Im unsure why you are spiteful, I made this thread a few minutes before work so I didnt compile an awesome photo shoot for turds like you. These photos were just on my camera roll, iv had a beard for like 3 years so i have no clean photos of before nd after. Your a total faggot if you think cheek bones should be protruding from your face. Everyones cheeks bones are indented, its just you got a slab of fat laying there idiot.
Cameron Lopez
I'm not angry at all, just curious if you really believe that you fixed anything in between those two pictures because you obviously haven't.
>Your a total faggot if you think cheek bones should be protruding from your face. Everyones cheeks bones are indented, its just you got a slab of fat laying there idiot. cope

Can someone screen cap the helpful advice OP is giving? On mobile, otherwise I would
Bentley Hughes
I can physically see a difference in both my face and neck. You obviously dont care to notice it. Those two pictures dont even highlight those features yet its completely prevalent. The indentation on my cheek was not there 8 months ago no matter how much you wanna tell me it was. My face has a better posture and my mesetter is always keeping my mouth shut and lips together as it should be

Sleep on your back without a pillow for ten minutes. Make sure your neck is touching the bed sort of like how you would sleep of you were on hard floor and didn't want the back of your head to hurt. Your tongue should naturally go towards the back of your throat. If it doesn't help it or a little. When you feel the back of your tongue hit the back of the roof of your mouth push up. Stay like this for ten minutes and then sit up and bite your teeth together. ItlL probably feel weird as fuck.

Whats there to hate about this? Try it out or post your face. Clearly you have nothing to lose. What it takes like 3 minutes to complete half of the shit in the OP, you cant do that while resting between sets? I feel muscle fatigue specially in underneath my chin, I hope this may help tighten that space.
OP dont sweat it, I will take some before and after pics while I try this lightly through my workouts.
