| Obje Plastic Surgery Good Habits from Childhood Create a Beautiful Face Shape! |

As we grow, our face shape changes,
and so do our facial features.
Many people think face shape is something we are born with.
However, although genetics do play a role,
our face shape, facial features, skin, and more can also change
because of good and bad habits formed from childhood.
In particular, childhood is a period when the bones have not yet fully hardened,
so skeletal changes can occur easily.
So what habits are good for a slim and beautiful face shape?
Today, we’d like to take some time to look into this together.

Beautiful face shape
Good habits
- Chew thoroughly instead of eating soft foods
During childhood, if the jawbone does not develop properly,
the jaw may remain small and appear recessed,
leading to the so-called “weak chin” shape.
This can be due partly to genetics,
but recently, a Westernized diet that includes many soft foods
can also be a problem.
Therefore, to help prevent a weak chin,
it is good to improve Westernized eating habits
and develop the habit of chewing food thoroughly.
Chewing foods rich in fiber, such as vegetables, anchovies, and nuts,
can help jawbone growth.
However, if you frequently eat very chewy foods such as jelly or dried squid,
the action of biting down hard on them can develop the jaw muscles,
which may make the face look larger.
And if you often eat hard foods such as candy or tanghulu,
strong force is suddenly applied to the jaw,
which can strain the temporomandibular joint and change the face shape,
so it is better for young children not to eat these foods often.

- Do not bite or suck on fingers or fingernails
Bad habits from childhood can lead to malocclusion
and deform the face.
Nail-biting habits
mouth-breathing habits
habit of sticking out the tongue
thumb-sucking habits
These are representative examples
of bad habits.
If the upper and lower teeth do not
properly fit together and malocclusion develops,
it can be noticeable cosmetically, and it may also make it difficult
to cut food properly with the front teeth, causing various problems
in daily life.
Therefore, after age 4,
it is good to correct bad habits
and pay attention to ensuring that the teeth and jawbones
can grow properly.

- Check the height of the desk and chair
Good posture
can help prevent spinal deformity
and is also beneficial for overall physical health.
If you habitually sit slouched in a chair
or lie face-down while reading a book or watching TV,
the spine and pelvis, which are the body’s axis,
can become misaligned,
causing the whole body to become unbalanced,
and the face may also grow crooked.
Also, if the height of the desk and chair does not match
for long periods of sitting,
it is easy to develop a hunched or crooked posture.
Since the pelvis and spine can become misaligned,
when sitting on a chair,
it is good to keep your back against the backrest
and sit up straight with good posture.
And as a child grows,
it is also good to pay attention
to the height of the desk and chair.

- Do not rest your chin on your hand
The habit of resting your chin on one hand
can cause facial asymmetry.
When you rest your chin on your hand, asymmetrical force is applied to the face,
which can cause the bones to grow unevenly,
so if a child is 19 years old or younger and still growing,
it is better to avoid this habit.
And in the case of children,
they often watch TV or read books while lying face-down,
which can lead to an underbite.
So it is necessary to help them sit properly while doing these activities.
These days, children
spend a lot of time looking at PCs and smartphones,
but if they look too far downward or if the monitor is placed too high,
they will tilt the chin downward or upward,
which can cause changes in the jaw.
Therefore, it is important to properly adjust
the child’s line of sight
and the position of the smartphone or monitor,
so parents need to be careful.

Today, together with Obje Plastic Surgery,
we took some time to look at these good habits
that can help create a beautiful face shape.
