too wide zygos and not tall enough skull. my cheekbones are way too wide it looks uncanny

i’m wondering what the cause of this though. i’ve been told i’ve been clenching and had lots of tension in my face throughout my life. And i started chewing a lot of hard stuff the last few years but it just made me more bloated and wide zygos since i’m recessed. i feel like the more tension the more the muscles are overworked and muscles win over bones over time according to Dr Mew

I don’t know which muscles are contributing to this though. is it the pterygoids?

I wish someone who is aware of facial anatomy could help theorize the cause of this

for any one who has similar issue i wanted to ask you some questions bc i feel like there has to be a reason why this happened

Please answer these questions 🙏

1 do you or has someone told you that you clench at night when you sleep

2 Have you chewed a lot/ chewed for hours/ had a lot of pressure exerted on chewing muscles

3 do your teeth touch

4 when did you notice zygos started getting wide was it always like that

5 do you generally carry a lot of tension or stress in your jaw cheek or temporal muscles



I am going to start doing compression exercises daily on my zygos to make them slimmer. i thought it was bloat from fat that was the problem or water retention but for us i think the problem is just too much bone mass in zygos.

The other surgical procedures would be cheekbone shaving/reduction or buccal fat removal. are there downsides to any of these?

Start mouth breathing.

The problem with these wide faces is you need to basically be 10% bodyfat or less or you'll look like shit.
If it's short face syndrome (maxillomandibular deficiency) it can be fixed with CW rotation of the maxilla I think.
DON'T start mouth breathing. If you want a longer face, make your lower third longer

All of the above. Just look up masseter size vs morphology studies on Google. Mastication muscles will make your anterior face height shorter. It's not necessarily a bad thing. Wider faces are shown to be more attractive. You just need the chin and forward growth to back it up

Actually it’s better to have a slimmer face i realized. Ya you don’t wanna have a super narrow jaw, some width is good but check this out


i don’t have the chin or forward growth to back it up lol but looks like bimax + genio can fix, lifefuel

No such thing as too wide zygos only too narrow jaw which makes the bigonial : bizygomatic ratio look bad.

It's mostly genetic it don't have much to do with your facial muscles, some skull shapes usually have wider zygos than others (brachycephalic) and some ethnicites also have naturally wide zygos (south-east asians).

There is such thing as too wide zygos, a fwhr above 2.0 looks comical 90% of the time and unless you have a dolphin ipd you are more likely to have a shit ES-Ratio if you have very wide zygos.

There's such a thing as too low ES but not too high zygomatic width by itself.

And a too high bizygomatic width is one of the causes of a low es ratio, even with a way above average ipd a high bizygomatic width can (and most often will) result into an unideal es ratio.
A too high bizygomatic width is a failo by itself, @Birdcell despite having a 68mm ipd which is insane have a low esr because of his wide zygos.

And yes there is such a thing as a too high fwhr and wide zygos contribute to that.

His face is longer. Had some thing done to his jaw , why he looks better. Has nothing to do with cheekbones

for once I do agree with you
 
Eye spacing ratio
Ipd divided by bizygomatic width.
so high ES ratio would look more like avatar face right? i think this looks good

Too high es ratio = dolphin = over
Too low es ratio = cyclop = giga over
Eye spacing is one of the most crucial thing to overall facial harmony, in order to pull off a high es ratio you need a high pfl otherwise it'll most likely look bad, even if a slightly too high es ratio is still better than a slightly too low one.

Jordan looks bloated like the russian stocks nigger meme probably because of surgery lol its a literal unnatural look that can either be caused by a fight, car crash or surgery. Water cannot cause that bloating.

what compression excercises are you going to do

will mouthbreathing still affect your face after 18?

Yeah you'll look worse. It'll take a long time though. Same way mewing takes a long time to improve it
