If you see someone put a finger to their lips for silence and then point to their chin, it may be indicating that they are doing their ‘mewing’ routine. Hundreds of viral videos teach how to perform this exercise so that our jaw looks defined and perfect. They say that, practiced regularly, the technique helps define the jawline, reduce the double chin and even align the teeth.
But ‘mewing’ neither achieves the results it promises nor is it as innocuous a technique as it seems, as the Rey Juan Carlos Anatomy teacher, Gema Díaz Gil, recalled in The Conversation.
Viral videos of this practice show the growing interest in the neck and chin. Treatments that reduce, reshape and define the jaw line are in fashion. “The neck is the new facelift,” says plastic surgeon Francisco Gómez Bravo. “A well-treated neck and a well-resolved jaw ridge have a profound impact on the general perception that others have of our age, more than full cheeks or lips or a smooth forehead from Botox,” he says.
There are numerous treatments to improve this area, more or less aggressive and also more or less effective: from definitive surgery to hyaluronic fillers, radiofrequency or pulsed light.
Neck lift: The most aggressive but most effective
Surgery is the most aggressive treatment but also the most effective and definitive. The latest techniques have evolved towards remodeling, rather than stretching. Gómez Bravo is a pioneer in techniques that not only stretch the skin to eliminate the double chin or double chin, but also achieve volume recontouring by touching deeper structures in the neck. This type of intervention is performed, depending on the case, from a minimum scar of three centimeters on the chin or two scars that are hidden in the ear “so as not to leave a visible trace of the surgery, even for someone who wears hair.” collected,” says the surgeon.
Another of the great advantages is the profound impact it has on the person’s image. It is the intervention that restores a youthful appearance without fear of the patient changing their expression. «Not only does it offer long-lasting and significant results, it also often goes unnoticed as an aesthetic intervention. When my patients return to their routines after surgery, they are often asked if they have lost weight, rather than if they have had surgery.
Gómez Bravo warns that anyone who plans to have surgery at some point should not think of surgery as the last option after trying less invasive treatments: “Some aesthetic overtreatments can leave marks that make surgery difficult later.” In his opinion, they only have a place for those who are clear from the beginning that they will never undergo surgery and are looking for more subtle results.
Hyphae+radiofrequency
For those looking for a non-invasive method: without surgery or downtime, aesthetic doctor Raquel Moreno recommends treatment with EmFAce Submentum. «It is a new applicator to work on excess localized fat, sagging skin and muscle toning in the submental area. It is designed specifically for the double chin and combines HIFES technology that stimulates the digastric muscle – the main responsible for the firmness of the chin – with synchronized radiofrequency », she explains. She ensures that the results are visible and long-lasting with a non-invasive treatment, without surgery or downtime. “The evaluation of our patients at the Eres clinic is very positive because it is a comfortable and painless procedure that is performed in just 30 minutes,” she defends.
Dr. Moreno also trusts the combination of radiofrequency with ultrasound with the Exion platform. “It is a comfortable and very pleasant treatment for the patient that stimulates collagen synthesis and is the only device capable of inducing the creation of autologous hyaluronic acid and, therefore, more hydration.” In more complicated cases, she recommends the combination of the two treatments in the same session.
Intralipotherapy
Also known as ‘chemical liposuction’. It is carried out by adipocytolytic substances, that is, capable of burning fat. They are infiltrated, either with a needle or cannula, into the target area. “It is an effective procedure that requires patience and is completely technical-dependent,” explains Dr. Leo Cerrud. A minimum of 3 sessions are needed.
Coolsculpting
It is a non-invasive body treatment that permanently eliminates localized fat thanks to controlled cooling on the surface of the skin. To do this, they are frozen at -11 degrees and destroy the fat cells so that they do not reproduce again. One of the fundamental parts of this treatment is the massage that is performed immediately after, as it breaks down the frozen fat to facilitate the elimination of fat via the kidneys, lymphatics and through sweat. A treatment that is equivalent to liposuction without surgery and that can be performed in the submental area. Each session can last between 1 to 3 hours, depending on what the medical team always determines. Likewise, between one and three sessions are usually required for optimal results, Enea Clínica explains.
Change habits
The double chin appears in both men and women and arises from a combination of factors: genetics, lack of bone support or muscle tone, loss of skin elasticity due to aging and sagging facial tissues, poor posture when looking at the cell phone or sitting in front of the computer or weight gain.
Genetic factors cannot be controlled, but if we want to have a young and beautiful neck we can try good habits such as having good sun protection daily in that area as well. In addition to maintaining good postural hygiene: try not to look down at your phone and place computer screens at eye level.

Drama unfolds in Helldivers 2 as players clash with Sony over account linking: Steam removes game from sales in 177 countries
The fight for democracy in Helldivers 2 has turned into a dispute between players and Sony, which is now in its third day. Notice of compulsory linking of accounts on PC has already led to 150,000 negative reviews on Steam, but at the same time confirming developers from Arrowhead studio that not their decision and that they are on the side of the players themselves, trying to find out more from Sony. Linking accounts may not be a matter of a few seconds for many players, if they already have it or create it. The problem is that, unlike Steam, PlayStation Network is not available in many countries. Although Sony finally responded, it didn’t exactly provide an adequate solution to the situation – at this time, it was simply ending sales of the game in countries without PlayStation Network support.
Helldivers 2 on Steam can no longer be purchased in several countries after it was announced that a PSN login will soon be required.
Steam has also been allowing refund requests for players even if they played over 2 hours https://t.co/8O7etaebpH pic.twitter.com/0P5hcOyiaL

Overnight, the game was pulled from sales on Steam a total of 177 countries. Among them are African states, various islands and territories abroad, but also some European states, for example Moldova, Belarus, Albania or Serbia. However, no official statement has come from Sony yet. Paradoxically, just yesterday Arrowhead’s community manager, named Spitz, assured players on Discord that they will not force themselves to violate the terms of service or stop playing unless Sony finds a solution for users in countries or -PSN. . So at this time, it seems that the developers have not heard from Sony yet and that they have not solved anything with them, which can be seen with a rather confusing communication. Additionally, pulling the game from Steam does not address the fact that many affected players already own the game, and it is unknown what will happen to the game if Accounts are not linked under the new rules. It also begs the question of why the game was available here at all when Sony had planned the connection from the start.
On the other hand, immediately after the new duty was announced, many players began to consider returning the game and asking for their money back. The problem, however, was that most of them had already logged well over two hours in those few months, which, along with two weeks since purchase, is the standard normal for refund. According to the players’ reports, Valve decided to make an exception at least in their case. This is proven, for example Screenshot of the player, who spent nearly 100 hours on Helldivers 2, but his refund request was still granted. So it can be assumed that other players will try to do the same. But the question remains how Sony itself will deal with all this and what (we hope) will come up with the developers.
You will see a gradual development of the whole matter in our archive.

The biggest private records leak in history
Cybersecurity researchers have warned that the recent leak of over 26 billion private records has been dubbed the biggest data leak in history.
According to the report, this leak includes sensitive data of several websites including Twitter, Dropbox and LinkedIn.
Worryingly, researchers who tracked down the leak say the breach is extremely dangerous and could trigger a tsunami of cybercrime.
Bob Diachenko, owner of SecurityDiscovery.com, and other researchers pinpointed the data breach at an unsecured opportunity.
Although the identity of the breach is unknown, researchers believe that hackers, data brokers or a service that processes large amounts of data are behind it.
Initial studies of the data suggest that this is not a new breach, but a collection of past data breaches.
According to the researchers, some of the 12 terabytes of records contain duplicates. However, due to the sensitivity of the information contained in the exposed data, data breaches are of great concern.
The researchers said that this dataset is extremely dangerous and can be used by cybercriminals for a wide range of attacks. These attacks include identity theft, sophisticated fraud schemes, specialized cyber attacks and illegal access to private and sensitive accounts.
