Creating a genioplasty (genio) morph is relatively simple. You start with two 90° side profile shots—one in a natural position and another where you are jutting your chin forward. Then measure the jutting distance in millimeters, and edit the lip area and mental crease in the second photo to simulate the effects of a genioplasty accurately.
However, when it comes to bimaxillary surgery (bimax), where the maxilla is also involved, things get more complex. Unlike the chin, the maxilla cannot be physically jutted forward for reference, meaning you must rely entirely on digital editing (Photoshop).
Key considerations for achieving realism in a bimax morph include:
Maxillary Advancement – Since you can’t physically replicate this movement, careful photoshopping is required to shift the upper jaw while maintaining proportional facial balance.
Nasal Changes – The nose often changes post-bimax, does it typically becoming slightly upturned due to maxillary rotation? Morphing should account for these subtle adjustments.
Soft Tissue Adjustments – The lips, philtrum, and nasolabial angle will also shift, requiring realistic reshaping to reflect how the soft tissue follows underlying skeletal changes.
So, how do you best edit the nose in a bimax morph? Does it truly become more upturned? And how to edit the maxilla specifically?
