Having gotten into the habit of capturing my progress in a
series of images over the span of the past 40 days, I must say
that one of my favourite aspects of face-pulling is being
repeatedly impressed by my own new-found level of proportional
aesthetics. Each time I observe a change, I say, "Wow! I have
never looked so handsome before!" and then, 2-3 days later when
I capture another image, I say, "Wow!" again, and proceed to
gawk in amazement at the "old me", which now looks sickly in
comparison.
It's not a bad way to stay positive, hehehe... ;D

Holy smokes Tyler! Your transformation is amazing - you look
like a completely different person.
You look like a model in the second picture!
Are you wearing a neutral expression in both pictures? I see
exactly what you mean when you describe your change in
expression. I don't mean any offense, but I do see the slightly
"dopey" look you described in the before picture. Like you are
a little "spaced-out". This is replaced by a much more intense,
dominant look in the after picture (I mean this in a good way!).
I think this is primarily caused by the change in you brow-line
as you mentioned, but I could be wrong, as all your features
seem to fit the mask better in the after picture.
Anyways, congrats on your progress and I hope it continues!
Your results are inspiring!

Hey now, maybe I should take back the compliments I just gave
you... I don't want you to get too vain! ;)
Just kidding of course, you have every right to be proud of
yourself. ;D
I am in the same boat as you. Since starting NCR, my emotional
reaction to my reflection has improved considerably and takes me
by surprise sometimes. All because my cranial structure is
improving. It really is a remarkable experience.

Every time I see these pictures, I am amazed.
I don't know how to put a mask like that over any of my images.
How do you do that?
I've just had NCR, and hopefully another session (5th one!) next
month, or perhaps June.
I don't have a retainer, nor do I know anyone locally who could
make me one, but I may get the mouth guard and try the
shoestring approach.
I have been using my fingers behind my palate in the designated
spots and pushed outward and upward at the angles as shown in
Plato's site. It feels good to do so, and I did it to relieve
some TMJ issues such as cracking and tightness in the TMD joint.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly! It has been a life-altering
experience for me; however, at the same time, I understand what
Plato meant by being unfamiliar with being so handsome all of a
sudden! Although my reflection is much more aesthetically
pleasing now, I frequently forget that it is a true reflection
of my face!
In a way, I'm very grateful that I spent the majority of my
childhood, and adolescence, looking sickly and spaced out... I
am having a difficult enough time not succumbing to vanity now,
in my early twenties! I cannot imagine how difficult it would be
to resist vanity as an attractive teenager!

Do not worry; I take no offense from your remarks. My
step-father's nickname for me used to be "space cadet" because I
was always detached in my mannerisms and, evidently, in my
expression.
Sadly, while you have asked whether my expression was neutral in
both images, to this I must regrettably say, 'No.'
You see, before my facial-bone structure was optimized in the
manner it has been thus far, I possessed an incredibly long,
sunken face. Consequently, I got into the habit of wearing a
slight smile at all times, which acted as a slight
"face-lifter". Truly, however, my eyebrows were still settled in
repose in both the 'Before', and ‘After’ images, so
the comparison in regards to my gaze is accurate. Furthermore,
the difference in the position of my lips in the
‘Before’ image from my neutral expression at the
time is very slight, so rest assured that you are seeing an
accurate representation of the procedure's capability. That is
to say, only the corners of my lips were slightly upturned.

I believe my gaze has become much more "Alpha" in nature now,
which I have noticed is a common trait shared among models. This
"Alpha" stare is perhaps the source of intensity and apparent
assertiveness, which you have observed. In an earlier post, I
commented that it felt as though my gaze had become
“lighter” and more approachable than before. It is
interesting to note that, the more friendly my gaze feels to me,
evidently the more assertive and ‘Alpha’ it becomes.
To that end, I feel quite exhilarated because I finally have the
opportunity to be taken seriously without having to adopt a
sometimes unnervingly sophisticated language. My mom has told me
to stop speaking in my sophisticated voice at times because it
freaks her out. Now I am able to express myself with much
greater ease, requiring much less “forced intelligent
expression”, which generally worked against my favour. It
has brought me utter joy.
What is a man to do when his face does not effectively
communicate his intelligence to others? Evidently, he
face-pulls, that’s what!

It requires some basic knowledge of image-manipulating
principles; namely, layering images, resizing images, and making
effective use of layer modes.
I will attempt to describe a simple tutorial of the process.
Step 1: Open an image of your face in an image-manipulating
software program. For my manipulations, I use Pixlr, a free
on-line service.
HTML http://i.imgur.com/Z9RB4CE.jpg
Step 2: Copy, and paste, an image of the Golden Rule mask over
top of your self-portrait. Ensure that it is pasted onto a new
'layer'. As you can see, in this example, the mask is
significantly larger than my face; hence, it does not fit within
the boundaries of the image.
HTML http://i.imgur.com/Tq1uUgb.jpg
Step 3: Change the 'layer mode' of the Golden Ratio mask to
'multiply'. I am afraid that I do not how to explain layers to
you in an effective manner; however, you can find a multitude of
informative tutorials on the Internet, which will explain layers
and 'layer modes' in greater detail.
I have also 'desaturated' the image of the mask, in order to
make it stand out more readily. As you can see, it is dark grey
now, instead of red. However, it is still too large.
HTML http://i.imgur.com/HQtDR5H.jpg
Step 4: Finally, you will need to resize the mask. While
selecting the appropriate layer in Pixlr, click on (Edit - Free
transform...). Then, once you see a box encapsulating the mask
with an anchoring point in each direction, hold the 'Shift' key
and shrink the image using one of the corner anchors. By holding
'Shift', you will ensure that the mask retains its proportion.
Lastly, carefully line the mask up with your irises, and you
will be set!

Good luck!
PS. Please let me know if I have left anything too vague! I want
to help you succeed, and certainly image-manipulation is not
effortless once you attempting to familiarize yourself with it.

To help anybody along who is interested in applying this Golden
Ratio mask to their own face, I have also attached an image of
the male, and female, ratios. The female mask is black, while
the male mask is red.
F! that shit! Ok, I don't have a golden ratio face. My face is
long. But you know what, it is freaking okay. Lots of beautiful
people have a long face! Liv Tyler anyone?? What a sick guy I
was before, but now I fortunately have some freaking sense.

I still don't know how to get it to work. It's not transparent.
I don't see the layering thing you're talking about.
Maybe some screen shots of what you're clicking on during each
step?

---- sighhhh. I'm just cleaning up my posts for posterity. So
sorry for the sudden interruption. My experience has been pretty
positive I suppose. But, I went nuts. I look ok now though. But
I now pull gently and if I don't feel anything, I DON'T PULL
HARDER. My body's so numb to pain, I could yank and yank and
feel nothing. I have no idea if I damaged my skull doing that!

Gosh... the margin of error, which I just described in my last
post, is so slight that I wonder if it will even affect anyone's
perspective, lol...
Nevertheless, I want to ensure that there is no reason for
somebody to say, "This process DOESN'T WORK!" Furthermore, I
don't want to make promises that the procedure can't honour!
This would be a lot easier with a set of that square-grid
wallpaper...

Hi Tyler,
Thanks so much for posting some photos of how the face pulling
is working out for you.
I am planning to get a retainer made up -- something I've been
meaning to do since the start of the year, but haven't quite got
around to it yet!
The changes I can see in your face are pretty strong, especially
considering you have only been doing it for 40 days or so from
your last post. Plato's face has gone through some remarkable
changes too.
One thing that is making me hesitate, and maybe this is a bit
silly, but how have people in your life reacted to the changes
in your face?
I feel like I won't be able to explain (or want to) to people
around me.
And whilst I definitely want a more three dimensional face, I'm
also a little worried on losing the wonky bits of my face that I
might not know that I liked until they are gone.
For example, I quite like what you have called the slightly
dopey look in your face in the before pictures. Now it is more
classically handsome, but it is probably not the kind of face I
would strike up a conversation with because it is now more alpha
and alphas have a certain personality type.
Is this making sense?? For example the guy on Plato's site, the
original guy, in the after photo he looks handsome, but I would
probably see him as a bit of a meat head and a bit aggressive
and I wouldn't strike up a conversation with him. But I guess
all of this is saying more about me than anything!
Love to hear your thoughts.
