Based on what I have seen a forward grown maxilla is extremely overrated for men. So, if you are recessed and have no health problems why not just get a custom wrap around jaw implant. Much cheaper, much quicker recovery, less risk of something going wrong, might even look better depending on the situation, and just much more practical (imo). Obviously if you are significantly recessed, (like so recessed that the average person can tell you are recessed, and not just a bunch of autistic guys on the internet who analyze male faces), then an advancement of the maxilla and mandible would be practical for aesthetics and health. but in most situations where people are "recessed" it just doesn't seem practical to me, even if it is ideal.
and to clarify Im not saying fixing recession first isn't ideal, but it just doesn't seem practical. That time and money is valuable. Bimax is a functional surgery meant for life threatening situations for a reason

What do you guys think?
