Will baby fat get rid of itself? Is masseter muscle hypertrophy congenital?

People with baby fat look fatter, so they want to have a slimmer face. In fact, people with a little bit of baby fat still look younger. So can baby fat be reduced by itself? Is enlarged masseter muscle congenital?

There is no definite answer to whether baby fat will disappear on its own. It needs to be determined based on the specific situation of each individual. Because each of us has a different physique, baby fat usually appears during adolescence, but some people will disappear on their own once they have passed puberty, while some people still have baby fat after adulthood, and even in their thirties or forties, it will not go away, and it may even accompany you throughout your life. Many people have tried various methods but still cannot get rid of baby fat. Usually, if baby fat does not disappear after adolescence, it will not disappear automatically. If you want to slim your face, you must take the right method to make it disappear.

Generally speaking, masseter muscle hypertrophy is acquired. If the upper and lower jaws are relatively wide, it may be due to skeletal reasons. Although facial contours and genetics have a certain relationship, the size of the muscles is affected by acquired factors.

Although genes determine the size of the masseter muscle, some acquired eating habits can also cause masseter muscle hypertrophy. For example, if you like to chew betel nuts and chewing gum too frequently, the masseter muscle will gradually become large and hard, which greatly affects the face shape. This situation often occurs in men. The masseter muscle is caused by acquired factors. If it is congenital, it may just be a simple bone problem. If it is a masseter muscle problem, you should do more facial massages and eat more high potassium foods, because potassium is very helpful for slimming masseter muscles. If it is difficult to consume potassium in your life, you can eat a face-slimming fruit every day.

1. Pinch and press the fleshy areas on the face: Apply some face-slimming massage cream, and then use pinching and pressing techniques on the fleshiest areas on the cheeks, stretching from the inside to the outside. Be sure to move gently.

2. Gently support the face: Place your hands on your jaws, gently massage and lift.

3. Massage the cheeks: Place your palms close to your cheeks, and then massage the skin from inside to outside. This will take about 1 minute.

4. Support the chin: Use both hands to gently support the chin, and repeat rhythmically for about 1 minute.

First of all, we need to clarify the location of the masseter muscle. The masseter muscle is a muscle located on the outer side of the zygomatic bone, at the zygomatic arch and the mandibular angle. It is distributed obliquely from top to bottom. Some people have congenital hypertrophy of the masseter muscle. For people who often chew, the masseter muscle will also hypertrophy due to repeated exercise, which is like the well-developed muscles of a bodybuilder.

A simpler method is to touch the masseter muscles on both sides at the mandibular angle while closing and clenching your teeth, and feel the contraction range and thickness of the masseter muscles. If the masseter muscles are relatively large, you can clearly feel the large range and obvious thickening of the masseter muscles when contracting them.
