The label describes a profile, not a finding
The common mistake is treating a forum label as a finding about your face. Someone calling your profile forward-grown hasn't established a measured result.
Ask what they're describing: the position of the maxilla, the jaw, or the chin. Those descriptions are more specific than a broad label. You can use the glossary to separate the terms before interpreting a comment.
A front selfie cannot measure profile projection
A frontal photograph doesn't provide the profile view needed to describe forward facial projection. It cannot answer where the jaw and midface sit when viewed from the side.
A profile photograph shows the view the term refers to. Even then, a visible outline doesn't make the forum label a diagnosis. Describe the feature you can see, such as chin projection, without treating it as a finding about the whole face.
Tongue posture cannot grow adult facial bones forward
Adults cannot grow their jaw or midface forward with tongue posture. The evidence status for that claim is no evidence.
The supplied source addresses this topic: Mewing: Social Media's Alternative to Orthognathic Surgery? Keep the description of a profile separate from claims about changing it. A label doesn't establish that mewing can produce the bone growth being promised.
Keep measurements tied to what they describe
The free face-symmetry scan reads landmark distances from one selfie and reports left-right differences and basic ratios. It names what it measured.
Those results describe features in that image; they don't measure forward growth. If you receive a ratio or a symmetry reading, keep its stated meaning attached. Don't rename it as a profile measurement or use it to confirm a forum judgment.
Questions people ask
- Is forward growth a medical diagnosis?
- No. It's a looksmaxxing label for how far forward the jaw and midface sit in profile. A forum comment doesn't establish a clinical finding.
- Can you measure forward growth from a selfie?
- No, a front-facing selfie doesn't show the needed profile view. A side view can show the appearance being described, but the label remains a label.
- Can adults develop forward growth through tongue posture?
- No. Adults cannot grow those bones forward with tongue posture. There is no evidence supporting that claim.
