Do facial exercises make someone delusional?

[shiron.]

I've noticed that on platforms like .org, facial exercises are often dismissed as cope. At the same time, under videos like this one , there are numerous reports from people claiming visible improvements.

This raises several questions for me: Are these perceived changes the result of placebo effects? Or could there be underlying physiological mechanisms at play that are currently underestimated or not well understood?

Here are five specific examples from the comment section. I'm genuinely curious whether these subjective impressions correlate with measurable changes, or whether these individuals might be seeing what they want to see. How can this contradiction be reasonably explained?

User 1: “Bro, I stg, I never believed exercises like this could work so quickly, but when I tell you I see a difference in my jawline in literally four days! Y’all have to give these face exercises a try. 10/10 recommended!”

User 2: “Day 5: It’s day five, and my face has changed. My jawline is more defined, and my cheeks are less prominent.”

User 3: “Week 3: My jawline is way more defined.”

User 4: “I’ve been doing this workout for only four days, and there’s a big difference. My jawline is really noticeable now.”

User 5: “Random update, but I’m on my fourth day of this, and the changes, much to my surprise, are quite noticeable. […] Update: It’s been a while, and I’ve been doing this every day except for two days I missed. I can still see an increasing difference. My jaw feels stronger and more aligned now. My jawline is actually much sharper than when I started.”

Yes, it's deslusion. The only way to fix bone structure is through osteotomies, implants, hormones and drugs. Anything else is probably cope.

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the clarification.

Some people use mastic gum on their jaw and it gives them better masseter muscles. But it can end up looking too uncanny. And if you lose weight it uncovers the skeletal structure under it. That's it really for a better jawline. Also you can train your neck posture and that helps a lot.

Appreciate it, you've already taken me further with that.

i dont see the reason to focus on facial exercises, some may work just because of lymphatic drainage

do some facial exercises like cheek lifts and sucking in your cheeks help? ive tried to do some research, it says it will help tone cheek muscles but wont actually bulk the muscle to make your cheeks fuller. Yes ik that you need to be 10% body fat and deboat and all that stuff but will these help even a little bit to define the face a little and help define areas around the jaw or cheek bones or it will do more damage then good? Is it just cope?

I don't have a definitive answer, to be honest. But what @NuclearGeo20 mentioned earlier does sound logical. That said, facial exercises aren't likely to cause harm and for some people, they might bring improvements. So even if the effects are minimal, it might still be worth trying them out for yourself. At worst, it doesn’t help much, at best, you notice some positive difference. Either way, it’s probably not doing any damage.
