I've got an absolute subhuman hyoid bone which fucks up my side profile quite a bit. What can I effectively do to improve that? Has anyone ever undergone hyoid surgery for aesthetic purposes? Of course I already know about mewing, jaw opening exercises etc. but they are mostly cope.

Can mewing really improve hyoid in the long run? I thought it just pushes it up as long as you are actually mewing but doesn't improve the position if you are in a resting position.
I mean mewing is something you do 24/7 anyway.

Yeah, that's a good point tbh. The problem is: If I am mewing the hyoid still isn't in an ideal position. But yeah it is what it is ig.

I thought it wouldn't be but recording myself even my suboptimal mewing is good.

Bump: Does anyone have experience with hyoid surgery or does anyone know someone who does?

You may have a tongue tie. Removing my tongue tie slightly raised my hyoid.

mewing has made my hyoid angle go from 120° to 87°

How can you tell if you have a lower or higher hyoid bone? I am in existential doubt as to whether I have it higher or not.

X-ray would show the actual bone location, but for visual evaluation you can use cervicomental angle. I think, in normally tilted head, ideally that neck corner (where the red lines intersect) should be positioned higher than an edge of a chin. Angle should be lower than 115 degrees, at least. But take into account gonial angle too, as people with lower gonial angle may appear to have worse submental area.
