Does chewing mastic gum help with forward growth and actually sharpen your jawline or give hollow cheeks?

[Kingbazoon]

I’ve seen a lot of claims that chewing mastic gum can make your jaw look sharper and even help create hollow cheeks over time.


I understand that mastic gum is much harder than regular gum and heavily engages the masseter muscles, but I’m trying to separate myth from reality.


My questions:

• Can chewing mastic gum actually increase masseter size enough to improve jaw definition?
• Can it help with a recessed chin? since my chin is a little recessed
• Does it help with hollow cheeks, or does masseter hypertrophy make the face look wider instead?
• Is any visual change permanent or just temporary muscle pump?
• How long and how often would someone need to chew to see any noticeable changes?

I’m not expecting bone changes, just wondering if there’s any legit aesthetic benefit or if it’s mostly placebo.

no. it will make ur jawline wider due to hypertrophy of the masseters but will not fix ur recession or make u lose face fat
chew 30 minutes each side don't overdue it or ur gonna get tmj, make sure ur bizygomatic width is greater than ur jaw width and make sure u don't end up looking bloated due to your masseter insertions instead
