In the age of viral beauty trends, a new claim has surfaced: taping your mouth shut can improve your jawline. While this idea may sound convincing in social media videos, the reality is that mouth taping does not lift, or define your jaw.
At Absolute Cosmetic, we understand the science behind facial structure and offer treatments for the jawline. If you’re looking for real solutions rather than internet fads, keep reading to learn why mouth-taping won’t work—and what actually can.
Why Mouth Taping Won’t Define Your Jawline
The claim behind this trend suggests that taping your mouth shut forces certain facial muscles to engage, leading to a more defined jawline over time. However, this is not backed by science.
The Facts About Facial Aging and Jawline Definition
- Jawline definition is influenced by bone structure, fat distribution, and muscle tone.
- As we age, skin loses elasticity, and fat shifts downward, leading to a softer jawline.
- Mouth taping only stretches the skin temporarily—it does not change muscle tone or reduce fat.
In reality, long-term use of facial tape could lead to skin laxity rather than a sharper jawline. The only proven ways to enhance jawline definition involve targeted cosmetic treatments.
Treatments for the Jawline
If you are looking for treatments for the jawline consider cosmetic treatments designed to address volume loss, excess fat, and skin laxity. At Absolute Cosmetic, we offer several non-surgical or surgical treatments tailored to individual needs.
1. Jawline Slimming with Injectables
Injectables can be used to refine the jawline by either creating definition or reducing bulk in the masseter muscles for a more contoured appearance.
- Can help soften a square jawline
- Reduces excess jaw tension from teeth grinding
- Provides a more contoured lower face
2. Chin and Jawline definition with Dermal Fillers
For those seeking more definition, dermal fillers can be strategically placed along the jawline and chin to create a sharper, more structured appearance.
- Enhances jawline angles and contours
- Helps balance facial proportions
- Provides immediate results with minimal downtime
3. Skin Tightening for Jawline Definition
If skin laxity is contributing to a softer jawline, non-surgical skin tightening treatments such as Morpheus8 or Microneedling can help by stimulating collagen production.
- Tightens loose skin along the jaw and neck
- Improves overall skin texture and firmness
- Provides long-term collagen stimulation
4. Fat Reduction for the Jawline
Excess fat under the chin can contribute to lack of jawline definition. Treatments such as coolsculpting can help create a more contoured lower face.
- Fat dissolving injections can target small pockets of fat for a slimmer look
- CoolSculpting may be an option for reducing submental fullness
