During the past couple of months I've noticed that my left facial cheek is slightly chubbier than my right one. How can I slim it down so both my cheeks can be even again?
Hi evelyna89,
There are some cheek exercises you can do:
Cheek exercise 1
Sit upright with lips closed but relaxed. Pucker and pout your lips using your cheek muscles. (Use your fingers to make sure that you are using your cheek muscles). Keep your lips puckered for a count of 10 and then relax. Repeat 10 times.
Cheek exercise 2
With your lips closed, smile a relaxed smile, and then suck your cheeks toward and on to your teeth. Hold this position for 10 counts and then relax. Repeat 10 times.
Cheek exercise 3
Look into a mirror while doing this exercise. Pucker your top lip, turning the corners of your lips upwards and move your cheek muscles toward your eyes. You should at this stage get your top lip to touch your nose. Keep this position for 10 counts and then relax. Repeat the exercise 10 times.
Cheek exercise 4
Look in the mirror while doing this exercise. Smile as widely as possible (while keeping your lips closed and mouth corners turned up). Try to get the corners of your mouth to touch your ears. Next, wrinkle your nose and see your cheek muscles move upwards and feel these muscles work. Keep this position for a count of 5 and then relax. Repeat 10 times.
Cheek exercise 5
Keep your teeth and lips closed and blow air under your top lip and keep it there for 10 counts, then move the trapped air to your left cheek for 10 counts, then your right cheek for 10, then your lower lip and hold for 10. Relax. Repeat 5 times.
Most people's faces are not symetric. If you look closely at other people's faces you will notice that most of them are not symetric either. Unless your asymetry is very noticible than don't worry about it.
I have also noticed it, i believe it is due to me naturally chewing on the left side of my mouth, and building up muscle. Do the excersises above work to even out the mass? If so, how?
Thanks.
