I’m 19, 177 cm, 63 kg. Attached Should be 4 month old photo and current front and side.

Quick backstory: I started focusing seriously on looksmaxxing about four months ago. Right now I’m primarily focusing on softmaxing by dialing in grooming, body fat percentage, hair, and skin.

I estimate I’m around 14% body fat currently and plan to cut to ~10% to maximize facial angularity and better assess my underlying bone structure.

Hair-wise, I grew it out over the past few months. I noticed my hairline shifting from Norwood 1 toward Norwood 2, so I started 1 mg finasteride daily. I’ll also be starting 2.5 mg oral minoxidil for overall hair density and eyelash growth.

For skin, I’ve been using GHK-Cu for about a month. I struggle with acne, so I’ll be starting tretinoin and micro-needling within the next week. My colouring is strong, so I believe clearing my skin will significantly enhance overall harmony.

Physique stats:
  • 19-inch bidelt
  • 32-inch waist

Short-term plan:
Cut to ~10% body fat to evaluate facial structure more accurately. At that point, I plan to get professional consultations to assess facial harmony and develop a more detailed long-term surgical plan if necessary.

After that, I intend to enter a dedicated mass-gaining phase to increase bidelt and overall aesthetic muscle groups.


Based on my current assessment, potential high-ROI procedures (long-term considerations, not immediate decisions) include:
  • Rhinoplasty (bulbous nasal tip, hanging columella)
  • Mandibular length adjustment / jaw surgery
  • Canthopexy for lower eyelid support
  • Fat grafting to improve recessed infraorbital area
I plan to document my progress here.
Any constructive feedback is appreciated, especially if you notice shortcomings I may be overlooking or low-hanging fruit I haven’t addressed yet. I’m open to advice! :)

with the body fat i would have to see the physique but its almost always more than u think for skin tretinoin is gold when you clear acne get a co2 laser to get rid of scarring and get to 12 percent bodyfat post physique so i can estimate if i were i would maybe spam gh and anastrazol u might get to 5 11 and some bone growth for surgerys everythings good if u do them and go steroids test gh ai u can be htn also blepheroplasty upper to get rid of eyelid exposure and botox for lips u do this u can be hhtn also roids and gh will give u frame and physique

thank you for your detailed response. Yeah so I’m more like a little under 14% bf as of rn I plan to get to 10% within the next month and a half. I’m on adapelene rn gonna be larping accutane hopefully but I have a doctors appointment within the week I’m trying to get ct for both my skull (bs waiting time) and hopefully this time also ask for a ct of my hand for my growth plates, if so I will 100% go with what you’re saying I want 5’11 if possible. I’m doing okay now with height with 1 inch insoles but height is always good. I’m confused with the Botox for the lips I’ve not heard of that one. Again thank you for your detailed response.

I have the funds to potentially do bimax. And I’ve been debating for a bit, it’ll ascend me so hard

yes it will, it will also make your nose look better, just know that u should get a rhino only after the bimax

Rhino is a for sure. I don’t want to be here larping bimax. I’m considering between that and custom infraorbital malar implants with pyliform which would fix my recession in my upper midface

Thank you bro I hope for more than htn
well htn is very good if u do bimax u could be chadlite i was thinking filler in you upper lip to get a fuller look you could also experiment with jaw filler and chin to see how the bimax would look if u donw want to go thru bimax u can just get mid face implants and genio plasty fat grafting for under eyes rhino you need maybe some jaw filler and lip filler and laser for skin

htn is very good i agree it's just that im in a very good position to aim even higher. midface implants is defo something I'm looking into and you're right about the co2 laser just fixing my skin as of right now sadly pretty slow. Filler is not something I would like to do, I'm put off by the migration and im thinking if I do want to make my lips bigger it would make more sense to get a lip lift since if I get a rhino it would change the size of my philtrum

if you do bimax do rhino later but its extensive maybe just do implants also for height growth u should check growth plates in legs and spine wrists close first u could grow an inch maybe two in legs and spine till 21 but wrist most likely closed…. with filler u can always get it dissolved but its not permanent but gives you good idea how id would look with implants but if u have the money firs ai gh and test then at 21 bimax and when you heal rhino then the rest u can get blepheroplasty and maybe some filler to get to that final look chadlite possible which is like clav level but laser and tan is also a priority colouring is very important good luck bro
