Jaw Muscle

Jowls refer to sagging skin below the jawline, commonly associated with aging, excess weight, and hereditary factors. Contributing factors include decreased elastin and collagen, weight gain, and prolonged computer use, which can lead to facial sagging. The document also discusses the impact of the masseter muscle on facial appearance, highlighting how muscle spasms can exacerbate the formation of jowls.

jowls

What are jowls? The term 'jowls' describes sagging, loose skin below the jawline, which
most people develop with age.
Jowls are called hanging folds from the lower jaw of a dog's lip. People have given this
word markedly different meaning by gently calling it bulldog cheeks.⠀



How bulldog cheeks arise: ⠀
The main culprits of this traverse are age, overweight and heredity. The bulldog cheeks
can also appear due to smoking, long hours of computer work, etc..⠀

Age⠀
Over the years, the percentage of elastin and collagen fibres in cells decreases. With
women in their 30s, subcutaneous fat ceases to hold on to the face, spreading evenly
over soft tissues and sagging with ugly folds.⠀

Excess weight⠀
Due to the large amount of fatty tissue, it cannot stay on top part of the face for long
and gradually drops down with unpleasant folds.⠀

Computers⠀
People who work hard at the computer often suffer more from the crawling oval face
and wrinkles. The same danger awaits lovers of lying down reading. To avoid this, you
should keep the monitor or the book so that you don't have to lean down when you are
reading.⠀

⠀ MASSETER MUSCLE मैसेटर


What is wrong with your jaw?⠀
Does it click when you open your mouth?⠀
Are you squeaking your teeth in your sleep?⠀
In what position do you have it right now - are your teeth sweaty or is your jaw relaxed?
And where is your tongue?⠀
⠀⠀
This is all Musculi masticatorii - the so-called chewing muscle.⠀
So big, so strong (much stronger than mimicry) and so powerful - nothing spoils our face
like the hypertension/spasm of this muscle.⠀
⠀⠀
DO THE TEST: ⠀
open your mouth as wide as you can without exerting too much effort. Now try sticking
4 fingers vertically between your teeth. ⠀
How does it feel?⠀
If you can fit 3 fingers or less - a very pronounced spasm in the chewing muscle.⠀
If 4 fingers fit, but you feel discomfort - a pronounced muscle spasm.⠀
If the whole palm is moving free in the mouth without pain or even clicking your jaw -
then you are lucky))⠀
⠀⠀
The chewing muscle starts to work hard from the moment we are born.⠀
It's only called the "chewing muscle", in fact it's responsible for the mobility
of the lower jaw, which means almost everything: we chew, sing, laugh with
it, talk - in general we exploit it to the fullest from morning to evening.⠀
⠀⠀
As a result, this muscle clamps and shortens with age.⠀
Not surprisingly, the spasm of the chewing muscles is a 99% problem.⠀
⠀⠀
Look where this all leads to:⠀
⠀⠀
🍃The corner of youth disappears. The spasmed chewing muscle lifts the lower jaw up to
the ear and the chin goes inside. The result is a face that folds like a book and adds to
our exterior of 15 years of 'hard fate'. ⠀
⠀⠀
🍃In the formation of the jowls, the spasm of the chewing muscle plays a very direct role.
Here it works in pairs with the neck - spasmed chewing muscle + pulled forward and
pressed into the shoulders of the neck = bulldog cheeks and floating oval face.⠀
