Midface ratio (MFR) might not correctly indicate midface length, if eye spacing ratio (ESR) is different from the ideal.

A high MFR could be due to
1. Normal ESR and short midface
2. Higher ESR and normal midface
or both
Similarly for low MFR.

So while measuring MFR, we should correct for the ESR in order to get a more accurate picture of midface length, using this formula:

Corrected MFR =
Actual MFR x Ideal ESR/Actual ESR

This would be the MFR if eye spacing was corrected.

E.g. someone with 0.5 ESR and 1.05 MSR
You might think they have a short midface
But if we hypothetically brought their eyes closer to make ESR 0.46, corrected MFR becomes 0.966. So they actually have long midface.

my esr is like 0.49 but my midface ratio is like 1.90 so I'm thinking of getting malar implants to decrease my esr to about 0.47-0.48 and increase midface ratio to 1.95-2.00. Still not sure on it though because my gonial width is already narrow so I'd have to get wider gonial implants than if I don't do malar implants. I think it should work pretty well though.

Just calculated my jaw width would be 75% of my zygomatic width if I get malar implants and both my ESR and midface basically become near-perfect, actually brutal I need at least 13% more jaw width :lul::feelshah:

I think you mean facial width to height ratio (FWHR) bcoz 1.9 midface ratio is not possible

This is the ratio i was talking about.

Getting zygo implants in your case would do more harm than good. Your FWHR is fine, ideal range is 1.8-2 i think. And ES ratio 0.49 is ok, gandy has that much. Like you said, they will make your jaw look even narrower so it will be a looksmin.

Btw whos the woman in your background pic

FWHR yes and ke$ha. also ideal ES is at most 0.475 so it widening zygos would be an improvement, ideal fwhr is exactly 2. I also want the infra-malar implants for scleral show reduction so it's not just for ESR

How are you accurately making all these facial measurements, are u using a 50 mm lense to take pics and then using some app/software?

I did an approx 50mm lens but I'll get a proper camera somewhat soon, also yes I use a software I developed myself for craniofacial measurements
 
i like this, solves my problem with my slightly close eyes affecting MFR making me think mid face is too long despite needing maxillary downgrafting
