How To Get Prominent Cheekbones (Full Guide)

Summary

In this video, the speaker explains how to enhance your cheekbones and overall facial structure through scientific techniques, emphasizing the importance of maxilla and palatal development. The focus is on 'lateral thumb pulling,' a method that targets specific areas of the palate to naturally widen the maxilla and improve facial aesthetics. Along with thumb pulling, the video highlights proper swallowing techniques and tongue exercises to deactivate unnecessary facial muscles. The speaker encourages viewers to take action, emphasizing health benefits such as improved breathing, sleep, posture, and overall appearance, while also promoting consistency and discipline for long-term results.

Takeaways

• 😀 You can naturally enhance your cheekbones at any age by applying upward and outward pressure on your palate.
• 😀 The maxilla (a bone in the center of your skull) plays a critical role in the development of your cheekbones. When it expands upwards and outwards, your cheekbones follow.
• 😀 The technique called 'lateral thumb pulling' involves applying pressure to the middle of your palate to help widen the maxilla and enhance cheekbone prominence.
• 😀 Proper tongue exercises, such as 'tongue chewing,' can strengthen your tongue muscles and help reduce facial muscle engagement, promoting a more sculpted face.
• 😀 Correcting your swallowing technique to avoid engaging your cheek muscles will help activate the right muscles, leading to better posture and healthier facial appearance.
• 😀 The wider your palate, the more open your airways become, which improves breathing, sleep quality, and overall health.
• 😀 Combining lateral thumb pulling with other thumb pulling techniques on different parts of the palate can result in the best outcomes for bone development and facial appearance.
• 😀 The results are not immediate, but with consistent practice, you will see gradual improvements in your bone structure and health over time.
• 😀 You don't need expensive products or risky procedures to achieve better-looking cheekbones—this method is scientifically backed and based on natural pressure.
• 😀 The key to achieving the best results is consistency. Practice regularly, use correct posture, and avoid neglecting any of the techniques to see significant improvements.

Q & A

What is the relationship between the maxilla and the cheekbones?

The maxilla, a bone in the center of your skull, directly determines the development of your cheekbones. If the maxilla grows upwards and outwards, the cheekbones will also develop in that direction.

Why is expanding the palate important for cheekbone development?

Expanding the palate applies pressure on the maxilla, which can lead to the maxilla developing upwards and outwards. This expansion helps in the development of the cheekbones in the same direction, resulting in more prominent cheekbones.

What is the role of the palatal bones in the development of facial features?

The palatal bones, which are parts of the maxilla, are linked by the midpalatal suture. Expanding the palate by applying pressure to these bones can directly impact the growth of the maxilla and subsequently the appearance of the cheekbones.

What is thumb pulling, and how does it help with facial bone structure?

Thumb pulling is a technique where pressure is applied to the palate with the thumbs, particularly in specific areas like the middle of the palate. This pressure encourages the expansion of the maxilla, contributing to more prominent cheekbones.

What is lateral thumb pulling, and how is it different from other thumb pulling techniques?

Lateral thumb pulling involves applying outward pressure to the middle of the palate, which helps in the lateral expansion of the maxilla. It differs from other thumb pulling techniques that focus on other areas of the palate for forward growth.

How do you properly perform lateral thumb pulling?

To perform lateral thumb pulling, tuck your chin toward your neck, keep your shoulders back, and place your thumbs on the middle of the palate. Apply outward pressure while maintaining the chin tuck to activate the correct muscles and widen the maxilla.

What is the connection between tongue posture and cheekbone visibility?

Improper tongue posture can lead to muscle activation in the cheeks, which may make the cheekbones less visible. By practicing correct tongue posture, such as sweeping food back while swallowing and avoiding cheek muscle engagement, the cheekbones can become more prominent.

Why is the correction of swallowing technique important for facial development?

Correct swallowing technique prevents unnecessary activation of facial muscles like the buccinator muscles, which can cause the cheeks to appear fuller. Correcting swallowing helps improve posture and reduce muscle tension, contributing to a more defined face.

What are the benefits of strengthening the genioglossus muscle?

Strengthening the genioglossus muscle, located in the tongue, enhances the tongue's ability to push food to the back of the mouth properly. This helps avoid engagement of facial muscles, contributing to a leaner appearance and better facial structure.

How can combining different thumb-pulling techniques maximize results?

Combining multiple thumb-pulling techniques, such as applying pressure to different parts of the palate (front, middle, and back), ensures more comprehensive development of the maxilla and improves cheekbone prominence by applying pressure to all relevant areas.
