The Ultimate Occipital Maxxing Guide 2026
Fixing Flat Back Skull & Building Posterior Cranial Projection (Mega Thread)
The back of the head is criminally slept on. A flat occiput makes your whole skull look short, weak, and low-T from the side. Fixing it gives that long, powerful, masculine head shape that mogs in side profile.
Why Occipital Projection Actually Matters
A flat back skull destroys side profile harmony and makes your head look primitive and short. Good posterior projection balances everything being forehead, midface, and jaw. It’s one of the most underrated cranial maxxes.
Visual Examples – Bad vs Good Occiput
Bad / Flat Occiput:
Good / Strong Occiput:
How to Check Your Occiput
Take clear side profile pics with hair short or pushed back.Does the back of your head curve out or drop flat like a wall?
Softmaxxing Methods
Semi-Hardmaxx – Fat Grafting
harvest fat from abdomen or thighs, purify it, then inject in multiple layers.
Hardmaxx – Custom Occipital Implants
Get 3D CT scan -> custom PEEK implant -> scalp incision -> implant screwed to bone.
Expected Results
Drop your side profile pics Niggas. Is your occiput flat or good?
TLDR: Flat occiput is a hidden skull failo. Fix it for a longer, more masculine head shape.

Visual Examples – Bad vs Good Occiput
Bad / Flat Occiput:
- asians mainly so lets take young Yao Ming style flat back heads
Good / Strong Occiput:
- David Gandy
- Sean O’Pry
here is the difference a good occipital makes :
If your side profile cuts off sharply at the back = bad.If it has a nice round projection and flows into the neck = good.

Compare to the good examples above. Post your side pic and I’ll rate your occiput honestly.
Softmaxxing Methods
- Heavy neck extensions + trap training
- Fix forward head posture
- Hair styling with volume at the back
all these barely do anything tbf but still work
Semi-Hardmaxx – Fat Grafting
harvest fat from abdomen or thighs, purify it, then inject in multiple layers.
Let the fat settle in syringes for 10-20 mins then discard bottom layer then centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 3-5 mins then wash with saline then keep only clean middle yellow fat layer.
Harvest fat -> Purify -> Inject deep on bone then mid then superficial layers. Overcorrect heavily because 30-60% resorbs. Usually needs 2-3 sessions.
Hardmaxx – Custom Occipital Implants
Get 3D CT scan -> custom PEEK implant -> scalp incision -> implant screwed to bone.
Incision hidden in hair -> lift tissue -> create pocket -> fix implant with titanium screws -> close up. Heavy swelling for 2-4 weeks, final result in 4-6 months.
Males have more pronounced occipital protuberance naturally. hence it increases dimorphism.

Doing fat grafting yourself is extremely dangerous (risk of infection, fat embolism, necrosis, death). Implants also have serious risks. Only go to real experienced craniofacial surgeons.
Expected Results
- Training = subtle changes over months but barely noticeable
- Fat grafting = decent volume after multiple sessions
- Implants = biggest permanent glow
