Folks love to ask me if this process improves facial symmetry.
And the answer is yes.
But not in the linear way that you might think.
Rather the process far more resembles this somewhat deflated balloon of Kermit the Frog from a Macy’s Day Parade in New York.
This float is your body in its damaged state pre-Reviv.
Reviv is the equivalent of putting an air pump to it and inflating it.
I bet you wouldn’t be able to accurately predict right now how Kermit is going to inflate.
Maybe his leg will fill first?
Maybe his hand?
Maybe his face?
Maybe a bit of all of them.
The reality is it’s complex and we don’t know exactly.
That is exactly how i see this process.
Now let me explain a bit more.
We start in a ‘deflated’ state
Our body really is similar to this float above when it collapses.
And imagine if Kermit had organs? They’d be pushed out of position, compressed, etc.
Why are things deflated like this?
Is it because of genetics? Age? Lack of exercise?
In my view… none of those play almost any influence.
It is pretty much purely this biomechanical process.
Which goes against pretty much everything hundreds of years of science and medicine have told us.
And yes, i’m saying they’re wrong. I don’t think aging exists. I don’t think almost anything is truly genetic.
We get disease and die because of a biomechanical process that can be reversed. And if you reverse it, i am not sure humans even have to die. As in like maybe we live hundreds of years.
This biomechanical process inflates us
I’ve described how this process with the Reviv mouthguard works many times so i won’t go into much detail again.
But the key thing to know is that it works by stretching soft tissue. The mouthguard maintains a certain distance between upper and lower teeth, which forces the soft tissue to stretch. As long as you do not lock a fixed occlusion.
And the mouth and entire body remodel over time as this soft tissue stretches. The remodeling process resembles sticking an airpump to the body and inflating it.
It’s the best way to describe the physics I have seen time and again as i’ve done this process on myself the past decade.
The skin literally stretches and rips on your face, scalp and various parts of the body.
As things inflate the bones and organs move to their correct anatomical position and function improves.
What function?
Literally everything. Flexibility, strength, energy, cognitive function, neurological function, mood, etc.
The face gets more symmetric, but at its own pace
As this ‘inflating’ of the skull occurs the face also gets more symmetric. But not in a linear way.
Like you cannot predict some rate of symmetry improvement the way you might perhaps approach weight loss or something.
You might not get more symmetric for months and then in a couple weeks symmetry takes a giant leap forward.
Why?
I’m not sure exactly but I think it relates to how things correct in the body and skull. You are putting a correcting force but different things shift at different times.
Kind of like if you were uprighting a capsized boat. It would require a lot of pressure to get it to a certain point, but then when you pass a certain threshold it will just correct itself on its own.
I think of the body a bit similar. You’re going from threshold to threshold and so it’s not really linear.
Also note that you are literally stretching the skull wider. This is exactly how it felt the first time i did this stuff back around 2016 and I will never forget the feeling at the end.
With my stretches it was as if i was pulling from the left and right sides of my face and just stretching the middle part till everything nudged back into position. Your nose, your eyes, etc.
You really get a sense for how it is all just connected by soft tissue and therefore once there is enough space in the soft tissue you can just slot everything back where it should go.
And achieve perfect symmetry.
Everyone. At any age.
Closing thoughts
So the answer to those folks that are wondering if this process improves facial symmetry is… absolutely yes.
But it takes time and patience.
And there is no cheating.
If you think deeply about the physics I describe above you will begin to understand why I think surgery is always doomed to fail in the longer run.
You’re cutting and moving things to make them look good now, but forgetting completely that this situation is very dynamic.
If things continue to deflate that person will look very strange later on as all the bones will continue to shift easily. Which is exactly what you typically see on folks that did plastic surgery 5-10 years on.
It’s a lesson that the 58-year Pamela Anderson learned the hard way. When she was young she had the structure of the top 0.1% and now as you can see above… she’s changed a lot.
These biomechanics are the only true way to improve facial symmetry sustainably.
And in time… these biomechanics are gonna put a lot of the plastic surgeons out there out of business.
I won’t shed a tear for them though. haha
Hi Ken, I have 2 questions: Is there a point at which you say that even the biomechanical solution is no longer profitable in cases where the structure is excessively deformed? How many months/years does it take for a 40-year-old to gain what a 10-year-old child earned in 6 months? or can it?
Has there been any feedback on the site about prominent ears?
