I do not have clinical SFS but my midface length is deformity tier, i’ve consulted with 3 surgeons so far and they all have suggested downgrafting on my djs.

But downgrafting will increase your gum show by X amount of height increase.

Meaning i’ll have a disgusting smile, is there anything that can be done?

This is an eye spacing issue - it's part of the midface ratio which helps explain why you feel your midface is short

The surgeons you consulted are retarded just tryna make money off you

@vermicel please morph his eyes closer together so he can understand

That’s true but it just looks extremely short even without it look at the second picture it’s peanut size tiny
 
you do realize where they make the cut right?

wait iirc you did say to get a downgraft but with a nasal lengthening, i mentioned this but they didn’t/couldn’t do it you said it was a niche type of thing

i'm confused. But jaw surgery doesnt affect midface length. You can downgraft your jaw but the soft tissue and the nose will remain in the same place

Not the gums they come down via the amount downgrafted if that’s what you are meaning to say english isn’t my first language

yeah but you said you hate your short midface and want to do a downgraft for that. it's not gonna change it
Nigga why would a downgraft not increase midface length? Am I retarded or sum
 
it will actually look even shorter because of the elongated lower third
 
Send side and smile

Your soft tissue will get stretched think of it like a canvas being stretched along a wooden frame

The nose will remain in place yes if it's a lefort 1 downgraft

Yeah you have less-than-ideal upper teeth show. Looks like it might be a very mild case of SFS. Makes sense why the surgeons you've consulted suggested downgrafting

Your side though doesn't look like giga SFS at least off first glance. Some signs of it though but your gonial angle isn't too low.

I'd consult Raffaini* just like @geenk worg mentioned. It seems this case isn't that simple

Thank you for the in depth replies bro

Just hope my front can improve from this

I meant raffaini lol but yeah you look like a SFS case so you'd benefit a good amount from the front I'd imagine.

However you're limited by the IPD and I suspect you just have a short face in general. I don't know the limitations of such movements you would have

Definite sfs. Clockwise rotation will benefit you in the sense that it’ll increase the plane angle. Tooth show is limited so you don’t have to worry about affecting tooth show. It’s hardly an ipd issue

Actually you're right I should've looked further. His ICD is pretty shit but ESR looks around ideal?

Giant said he wouldn’t do OBO on me
 
Don't think it's worth it I think you're just short faced for the most part
Yeah he just randomly responded to one of my rate me threads when someone talked about obo lel

I wouldn’t mind my wide eyes just care about my disfigurement at the moment
 
@sereneforever why did you say in the title you have gum show when you smile?

Show me your relaxed smile now (present day)

Your photos have been taken years apart judging by your hair

I don't think it's even much of a falio considering ur esr is ideal. Just shit icd but plenty of people are fine with that.

Short face is main flaw

Btw which image did you use to measure his esr

First one is too close to the camera and the 2nd one isn't aligned correctly as I can see the side of his head (the zygomatic arch leading to the temporal process)

It was only 2 months ago i cut my hair because i looked like goatis

I had a picture on vacation and i was cheesing kinda hard but you could see my gums, normally you can’t with regular smile

You can only do gingivectomy I will do ts too with veneers and I got downgraft lf1 4-5mm
 
  • Love it
Reactions: sereneforever
You got downgrafting?

Did it change your FWHR much?
Idk I don’t measure ts.
But yes it did. Lower third proportion is visibly longer/dominant now.
But big part of it was also the genio CW

I think im fucked then

Because my middle third is the issue ofc my lower is quite small too but midface is the main issue

Yeah it is a bit to the side of his head

This one isn't significantly but still within 47%

Little off ideal though but it's not the main issue at hand

Makes sense why his icd is a little off then

Still not much of a falio imo

yeah his ipd or icd is also a failo. i think its moreso that, at least in the first picture he put, his pupils almost look like if theyre outwards. ive been researching a bit on latisse and can say there is a probability latisse can fix the issues, given how the fat pads rest on the eye sockets. and ofc also give him eyelashes. his main failo is notably his compact face. he should look into the surgery and, if he gets it, reassess if his ipd is still an issue and if it is, just use latisse to lower said ipd.

How would latisse decrease his IPD?

If you had to decrease the IPD it would be the fat on the medial side - that's the orbital fat which is behind the orbital septum not to be confused with the known trend that latisse destroys the periorbital fat

No

That's referring to the orbital fat as I just said

Latisse won't penetrate through the orbital septum it will only affect the periorbital fat
the post i linked cited two sources

"herefore, it is reasonable that IPD may shorten within the same period. In the current case, IPD shortened from 62.5 mm to 60.0 mm over a period of 3 months and shortened again from 61.5 mm to 59.0 mm over a period of 8 weeks with bimatoprost use."

granted, these are in the form of eye drops, but lash growth is still seen with eye drops bimatoprost
