🤨
I am not an expert by any means, but as far as I know, no. There are lots of little muscles in and around your face that most people never use, and if you’ve never used them, then you won’t know how. I’m pretty sure it’s possible to learn how to use these muscles, but I wouldn’t be able to give any advice on that part. It’s similar to how some people can wiggle their ears
Spent a lot of time in front of a mirror figuring out exactly which muscles to pull and which to freeze
When I was a kid I wanted to be able to raise one eyebrow, but I couldn’t figure out how. What I did was use my hand to raise it over and over again to kind of train the muscle. Eventually I could do it without the help of my hand! Also a fun fact: I only ever did it with my left eye brow for some reason, and now that’s the only one I can move on it’s own.
same thing here. I can only move my left eyebrow
Huh. I used to be able to do both (right better than left). Now I’ve got one of those notch scars in my left eyebrow just to the right of where that muscle pulls, and I can’t get it to move properly. Fuck aging.
Personal experience, but I can only raise my left eyebrow on demand. Same with my upper lip. I cannot independently move those parts of the right side of my face no matter how I’ve tried. This has been true from childhood and I had no injuries I’m aware of that could have caused it.
So from my experience, I’d buy that there is a physical, possibly genetic component to whether it’s possible or not.
It’s my right side upper lip for me.
I’m glad nobody is in the room with me. I’ve gotta look ridiculous.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: he came into the room just as I hit send on this one :-P
I also can only raise my left eyebrow, but I learned to do it as a teen. Maybe I just got lucky and found the right nerve to trigger and am now very aware of where it is.
