Zygomaticus major muscle shown in red, responsible for facial expression and drawing mouth angle upwards and outwards. Anterior surface of zygomatic bone, modiolus at mouth angle, buccal branch of facial nerve, and superior labial artery involved. This exercise targets the zygomatic major and minor muscles to strengthen them and plump up the
upper cheek. First, keep face neutral, grip above mouth corners, and make exaggerated smile while resisting with fingers for a more pronounced pull. Focus on cheek muscles without tensing other facial areas. Hold each movement for 5 seconds, rest, then repeat. Start with 5 reps daily and increase to 20 by week's end. This simple exercise can be
done at any time. In Bell's palsy, zygomaticus muscles become paralyzed, leading to sagging cheeks and hollow appearance as we age due to gravity pulling them down. High cheekbones are crucial for an appealing face, but training the four main cheek muscles can help rebuild contours and lift the face. Grasp along the cheekbone with middle
fingers, press flesh downward from eye socket area while opening mouth and smiling. Repeat 20 times every other day to strengthen zygomaticus major muscle and encourage fuller cheeks. Perform this exercise in an erect position, hold shoulders back, jut chin forward, open mouth over teeth, place index finger on chin, look up at ceiling, lift lower
lids, raise cheeks by making a smile with upper lip while using index finger for resistance. Hold for 30 seconds then relax. The Facercise training program claims to help lift the cheeks with a simple exercise that can be performed daily. To do this, close your mouth and draw the insides of your cheeks towards your teeth as if you're smiling tightly.
Place the fleshy part of your palms on your cheeks and press slightly inward while holding for six seconds, repeating 10 times. This exercise targets the buccinator muscle, which helps fill out cheek hollows. The zygomaticus major muscle, responsible for smiling, originates from the zygomatic bone and inserts at the angle of the mouth. It's a thin
facial muscle that draws the mouth superiorly and posteriorly to allow smiling. The main action of this muscle is to elevate and draw the mouth laterally, creating the expression of smiling. In some individuals, the zygomaticus major muscle can develop a bifid variant, which may lead to cheek dimples. This exercise should be repeated at least five
times weekly as part of Deborah Crowley's Flex Effect facial resistance program. To target this area further, sit or stand in front of a mirror and pull your mouth corners up towards the ears while smiling extremely, then release slowly, repeating 20 times. For added intensity, place index fingers behind your mouth corners to resist the movement,
performing 20 reps. Muscle tissue can be utilized to restore damaged areas, such as lip injuries. The zygomaticus major muscle's primary function is to pull the angle of the mouth upwards and outwards, facilitating speech and producing facial expressions in conjunction with other buccolabial muscles. This muscle, along with the risorius, is referred
to as the "laughing muscles" due to their collective role in inducing laughter. The zygomaticus major is a facial expression muscle responsible for elevating the mouth's angle superiorly and posteriorly, enabling smiling. A notable variation of this muscle can result in cheek dimples, known as bifid zygomaticus major muscle. The naming of the
zygomaticus major muscle is based on its location and function within human anatomy, originating from the zygomatic bone and extending down to the corner of the mouth. Smiling is an effective way to engage this muscle and maintain its tone. A smile can be voluntarily created by the Zygomaticus major muscles or involuntarily in response to
emotional or social cues. The paired facial muscle, known as the zygomaticus major muscle, runs between the zygomatic bone and the angle of the mouth. It is located near the zygomatic minor muscle in the cheek region. Both muscles are attached to the cheekbone and are responsible for drawing the mouth upward and backward, facilitating smiling
and other facial expressions. As you age, the zygomaticus major muscle will begin to sag, causing the corners of your mouth to turn down. By performing strengthening exercises, you can firm the corners of your mouth and maintain your smile. Additionally, you can improve muscle control and increase symmetry in the appearance of the sides of your
mouth and cheekbones. Strong and flexible zygomatic muscles also aid in chewing and speech. To exercise the zygomaticus major muscle, sit or stand in front of a mirror and pull the corners of your mouth up towards your ears in an extreme smile position, then slowly release the smile. Repeat this exercise 20 times. * **Uplift Your Smile**: Gently
curve the corners of your mouth upwards and backwards, ensuring your teeth remain unclenched and your breathing stays relaxed. For added intensity, place your index fingers (palms outwards) at the mouth's corners and resist their pressure with a subtle upward pull using the Zygomaticus major muscle. Repeat for 20 repetitions. * **Dual Muscle
Toner & Chewing Enhancer**: Insert a cork (or similar object) between your upper and lower teeth to maintain an open jaw. From this position, draw your mouth's corners towards your ears. Complete 10 repetitions, then release the cork, allowing your mouth to relax. Repeat this exercise once more. * **Soothe with a Gliding Touch**: To ease
wrinkles around and above your mouth by relaxing the zygomaticus major and minor muscles: 1. Begin at your mouth's corners. 2. Lightly glide your fingertips upwards and over your cheekbones, tracing a diagonal path towards your ears. 3. Gently massage these areas to release tension in the muscles controlling lip movement, thereby enhancing
speech clarity. Repeat as needed.
