This isn't talked about enough here imo. Bigonial width is the distance between the two gonions (the edges of the mandible where it meets the ramus). It determines how wide the lower jaw looks from the front. If your bigonial width is a lot lower than your interzygomatic width (distance between the cheekbones), your lower jaw will look too narrow. Short ramus and tall chin can compensate for a low bgw to an extent, so can big masseter muscles.
High/decent bgw makes the jaw look more masculine, square and harmonious from the front (given decent ramus length, gonial angle and fWHR). Low bgw can make the face look top-heavy, especially if the chin is short, and unphotogenic from the front.
I'd say that bigonial width is more important than ramus length and gonial angle because it determines lower jaw width and can make or break a front profile. Who cares if your maxilla is forward-grown and your ramus long if your lower jaw looks subhuman from the front due to low bgw in relation to the interzygomatic width? In fact, a long ramus makes someone with low bgw look worse and the mandible appear even smaller/narrower due to inward-tilt of the ramus. The more vertical the ramus, the better, because it ensures decent bgw. A noticeably inward-tilted ramus is a sign of low bgw in relation to interzygomatic width.

Unfortunately, the only way to increase bgw (or give the appearance of higher bgw) is jaw implants. Growing a beard and making the masseters bigger can help to an extent but won't make the face look ideal from the front. Fillers can be used too but are quite expensive long-term and won't last long

bigonial width is useless if you have inward gonions and a short chin :feelswah: you just end up looking like a bloated subhuman

i have zygos and bigonial thats way wider than my forehead which makes me masculine but also gorilla tier. Also doesn't work when you have short face syndrome, when I bite down I literally look like a box muppet still better than a narrow face I guess. Just need procedures to make it work like a bimax/genio

Any osteotomies for width? I doubt it but maybe someone here has seen something like it.
 
Jaw width is an ethnic trait
It’s all about chin

not all the time in my opinion I've been watching qoves chin to philtrum can vary and be acceptable for a wide range but jaw width decides if you're attractive or not

bruh it’s not as simple as saying “wide jaw=attractive” jfl it’s way more nuanced than that

u prob just have a wide jaw so ur saying that to validate yourself

Yes, andreischev's legendary chin wing with bigonial widening is what u want. It looks like he performs a chin wing as normal but then cuts the front centre of the severed bone resulting in 2 symmetrical parts. This then allow allows him to flare out the gonians and is hence why you see an additional plate at the chin holding these 2 pieces


pics of x rays if ur too afraid to click.

His cheeks looks swollen, is that from the surgery or just the new resting position of the soft tissues?

Thanks, my face shape is pretty much the top one.

Looks really good when my face is lean/has no bloat otherwise it makes
my face look fat.

I’m guessing to get the bottom face shap I’d need narrower cheekbones or narrower upper-masseters (lower should obviously remain wide).
