Resting lip posture

History

The lip seal joins the discussions on mewing

In the orthotropics and mewing communities, lip seal refers to the closing of the lips at rest. Discussions often associate it with nasal breathing and tongue on the palate. A 2020 exchange on r/orthotropics already describes this closure as contact without compression, while raising the difficulty encountered when the chin must participate in the effort.

From operation to mouth rendering

The looksmaxxing forums also discuss lips as a moving part of appearance. Discussions from 2023 and 2024 describe a less tucked in lower lip or the visual effect of a pout on the face. These are personal observations, but they show the point well: a different position can be presented online as an improvement, even without tissue changes.
