Introduction
In general, biting chopsticks cannot correct facial shape. The main reasons are that bone structure is difficult to change naturally, and biting chopsticks may affect teeth and the jaw joint. If you wish to correct your facial shape, options include hyaluronic acid injections, thread lifting,颧骨整形手术 (zygomatic reduction surgery), mandibular osteotomy, or masseter muscle resection. If facial correction is needed, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital.
