| Just my opinion but jawline and neck area is often connected to weight. So if you want a sharper jawline, exercises can help somewhat but you need to do a proper diet to lose excess fat. |

@essentialdayspabro, you completely threw me in specifying the jaw beneath the ear area. I'm not sure I know what you're talking about.
There's different types of lack of definition in the jaw and neck area. Everyone gets it to some degree because what we don't lose goes south when we age; muscle, bone, subcutaneous fat.
I can't really speak on the effect of being overweight or yo-yo dieting on sagging skin or lack of definition. I haven't dieted since being an anorexic teen and have stayed a consistent size 7/8 (by exercise).. yet the jaw and neck were specifically the first place I identified as my aging markers.
I don't know about flex effect in particular but I have found face exercises to be very effective in this area. I don't know about under the ears because I haven't found this to be a problem for me. .. |

| I don't know area he is talking about either - but would recommend asking on their forum about it as they are quite friendly and do answer questions. So that might be best way. |

Dear EDS bro,
Can you move your ears? Bear with me on this.
Weight does come into the equation but if you're slender but still undefined then maybe you need to reactivate or strengthen the scalp muscles that can help pull things back in place.
I'm 47 now and am firm and chiselled under the chin through the jawline to my ears. It may be luck, it's certainly not genetic, I truly believe the two exercises I do for this area must have some effect, been doing them for 6 years.
There's a site I used to learn how to target my scalp muscles (I couldn't move my ears at all when I first tried). It's says that this exercise helps the upper face but I feel it makes a difference to my jawline leading to my ears too. He's also got another exercise for under the chin although I do the similar 'kiss the ceiling'.

From the site -
First, a bit of trivia. Twice as many men compared to women can wiggle their ears. This has significance. If a man or a woman can wiggle the ears, it means that there is contraction of the muscles at the back of the head. These are the muscles that must be alternately contracted with the muscles at the front of the head during the scalp exercise.
Hope this will help, it's not a quick fix but stay with it. |

I know someone asked this before but there isn't actually proof or evidence to support this other than Tom's own experience. Now understandably Tom is doing great but I can't help but wonder if this is just his personal opinion and experience - maybe he just hasn't met women who can move their ears etc.
I definitely can't move mine and tried all the suggestions and just gave up on it, but it always has made me wonder.
