Will sipping through straw enlarge my masseters?

Sipping through a straw frequently could cause the little vertical lines around the lips to be more noticeable (due to frequent contraction and strengthening of the orbicularis oris muscles)...but that would NOT cause your masseter muscles to strengthen or enlarge.  The masseter muscles are used for chewing and grinding food between your teeth.Two ways to reduce the lines around the lips include botulinum toxin injections (Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport), and lip fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, Belotero, or permanent fillers).I hope that helps! Feel free to let me know if you need a better explanation!Debbie Kessler Hudak, MD

Hi and thanks for your interesting question. No evidence that sipping through even a very long straw!!! will achieve muscle bulk. Try chewing gum, as this is more likely to help increase bulk of your massetters
