According to Professor Mike Mew, when the Mewing method is repeated continuously and regularly, it will affect the musculoskeletal system and facial bone structure, thereby bringing the desired aesthetic results to the practitioner. However this does not happen on all instances of the Mewing method implementation. But most Mewing practitioners find the points where Mewing deviation can change the face:
Development of the face forward: The Mewing method helps to raise the bridge of the nose, the lower jaw line is more beautiful. . In addition, the facial contours of Mewing practitioners become naturally sharp when viewed at an angle. The change of tilt angle in a positive direction without the need for rhinoplasty, jaw reduction... is the reason why many people want to practice the Mewing method. However, the effectiveness of the surgical method cannot be denied, the surgery will have broader results and the change is also more proactive according to individual preferences. Besides, the Mewing method is very safe as well as much more cost-effective; Face lift: The small space created when the tongue is gently placed on the roof of the mouth acts as an anti-gravity chamber, this chamber will give the effect of lifting the face, eliminating wrinkles and reducing the formation of deep grooves. The muscle lifting also helps to make the contour of the lower jaw line of the Mewing method clearer, thereby making the face sharp, not mixed with the neck area; The Mewing method is much gentler than a facelift with botox injections, implantation or surgery... The mewing method does not reduce facial fat but instead tightens facial muscles and speeds up the process. burn excess fat; Mewing method helps to make the face flatter, chin protruding forward. When evaluating the relationship between lips - nose - chin, experts often apply the concept of "E aesthetic line", this is the line connecting the top of the nose and the top of the chin, according to which a face is considered harmonious when there are The most protruding point of the lower lip is 2mm behind this line, and the upper lip is slightly backward compared to the lower lip; The Mewing method makes the upper jaw grow upwards, the lower jaw tends to rotate, leading to a higher chin and nose, a flatter and more beautiful angle.
