The attractiveness of the midface is about how tightly the skin fits the bone, not just how forward the maxilla projects. Flat maxillas with skin that fit them tightly mog more forward maxillas with worse “skin fit”.
Flat-maxilla Asian with good-looking midface:
Less flat Caucasian maxilla, looks more “recessed” because the skin is “too big for the bone”:
Forward maxillas usually stretch out the skin, making the midface skin look supported and smooth, but not always. Flat/pancake maxillas with skin that fits their flat morphologies also have the ideal smooth, supported, non-sagged midfacial skin look.
Thoughts?
