If you\u2019ve noticed that some of the biggest stars<\/a> have their mouths in a very specific position when posing for pictures, you\u2019re likely picking up on the practice of mewing. The technique is all about adjusting the way your tongue is positioned. The mewing technique involves touching your tongue to the roof of your mouth to create a more defined jaw look. Experts speculate that Kim Kardashian, Hailey Bieber<\/a>, Bella Hadid and Jennifer Lopez are among the celebrities that are mewing in photos. Is the mewing trend worthwhile? See what the experts have to say about the practice and check out a mewing before and after to judge the results for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is mewing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mewing is “The idea is that you position your tongue so it\u2019s touching the roof of your mouth. By repositioning your tongue in this way, it will give the appearance of a more sculpted and defined jawline,\u201d explains London plastic surgeon Yannis Alexandrides, MD<\/a>. \u201cIt was apparently made popular by British orthodontists Mike and John Mew, hence the term \u2018mewing.\u2019\u201d The technique can be used as an exercise for those muscles or a quick fix for photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to do the mewing technique<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimply push your tongue, particularly the mid and back of your tongue against the roof of your mouth (the hard and soft palate\u2014as if you are generating a swallow, then hold it),\u201d explains New York facial plastic surgeon Lee Ann M. Klausner, MD<\/a>. \u201cYou can also do the mewing technique while smiling to further elevate the mylohyoid and digastric muscles.\u201d She notes that anyone familiar with yoga in pregnancy<\/a> knows about \u201csustained compressed contraction of the abdominal wall in order to correct diastasis from pregnancy.\u201d The mewing technique is a similar application. \u201cGetting your muscles to coordinate to extend the strap muscles in the neck and elevate the floor of the mouth can be a challenge, and people interested in isolating these muscles should attempt the contraction while looking in the mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mewing has been around for years <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although mewing is trending right now among some of our favorite stars, Dr. Klausner says she\u2019s been ahead of the trend for years. \u201cI have been \u2018mewing\u2019 for years and recommending it to my patients. However, I never called it mewing. I always referred to it as neck pilates or facial yoga,\u201d she says. Delray Beach, FL dermatologist Dr. Janet Allenby<\/a> says in the past, she’s heard people refer to it as \u201cchewing gum.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mewing as an exercise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mewing as an exercise is all about proper tongue positioning. It involves \u201cshifting the natural resting position of the tongue to the roof of your mouth, which creates a workout for the jaw muscles and under the chin area,\u201d explains Dr. Allenby. This exercise can help redefine and strengthen the jawline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mewing as a quick fix<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Medical aesthetician Amy Peterson<\/a> notes that mewing is also often used when taking photos as a quick solution. The mewing position helps the jaw look sharper and can reduce the appearance of a double chin<\/a> for a swift before and after shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
