I was wondering how to know if one has a recessed maxilla. I know how it looks, but couldn't find a way to measure it. I thought measuring the facial convexity angle would work, but I'm not sure
 
facial convexity
then you divide midface height with projection from the side
Then nose & that line

Sorry, I didn't really understand. I found this picture online, is it supposed to look like this?

Also is there any apps to plot lines/measure angles for a phone that you know of?

you need 1.1+
below that facial convexity can be good but even then you look shit regardless
1.3 is Anteface which looks great


168 degree angle with subnasal
141 with nose tip
Fp3

Balance of thirds is Important which is measured by this.
eg. chico & barret are both forward grown with good convexity but barret has way higher like 1.3+ while chico is slightly above 1.1


This is why balance is Important. You can you as high as you want while maintaining balance (obviously unless you go morph tier)

Then look for the aligned Bite &
this line should support the nose
(starts below the under eyes, don't confuse it cuz that area is determined by fat aswell)

Sorry for being such a dumbass, what do you mean by 1.1, 1.3...

draw (frankfurt plane)
measure pixels of line from
Tragus to the orbitalle line perpendicular to Subnasal base (top of philtrum)

then divide by pixels of
