How much can midface (nose, not philtrum) be shortened?

[thecel]

How much can you reduce the midface height—the vertical distance between the bottom of the eyes and the bottom of the nose?

How much can the maxilla be impacted upwards? I want as much impaction as possible (as long as it won’t interfere with breathing).

mid face shortening is a meme

 

[lurking truecel]

Depends on how much bones they carve from the maxilla i guess

 

[thecel]

anyone here knowledgeable about midface impaction surgeries?

 

[thecel]

what safety risks come with higher impactions?

Get DJS with CCW rotation

Get DJS with CCW rotation

Problem with this is, my occlusal plane isn’t even downslanted. So they have to impact the maxilla upwards pretty evenly at the front and at the back. I only can get 1 to 2 degrees of CCW rotation, and that’d get me to a 0 degrees flat occlusal plane.

Is this change possible?

possible damage to nearby nerves and some complications

purely depends on how much of a gummy smile you have, lets say you have 5mm gummy smile, any mm over 5mm impaction will result in less upper teeth show. technically you can get more, will it look better? no! will the surgeon do it? no!

bro impaction doesnt work like that lmao, technically you shorten your maxilla but your midface will remain the same. the only thing you get is auto rotation which makes your overall face shorter (chinwise) and your mandible will look wider (illusion)
