Kazumi Yamaguchi shared a comparison picture of a child’s case. Because of wearing a mask, a girl switched from nasal airway to mouth breathing due to a change in her breathing method. In just 7 months, her entire face changed dramatically, including the shortening of her philtrum. , and the chin no longer protruded. As soon as the photo was exposed, the guests on the show exclaimed, "Is this really not a modified picture?"
In this regard, Kazumi Yamaguchi further stated that the most important issue when wearing a mask is whether to breathe through the nose or the mouth. It means that if you breathe through the nose, the nasal cavity will continue to be stressed, and the tongue will naturally withstand the palate. It will become tight; on the contrary, if you are used to breathing through your mouth, it will cause the upper jawbone and nearby muscles to collapse downward. Because children wear masks, they often start to get used to breathing through their mouths because their noses are difficult to breathe and their faces are covered. However, these conditions may cause their faces to collapse, "making you look very old in the future!"
