In regards to bimax, I’ve read that when they treat sleep apnea they typically advance the upper jaw about 8 mm and the lower about 10mm. Would this be a significant advancement for someone who’s recessed?
 
Yes, 10mm is a lot

yes, 10mm is significant. 8mm maxilla is even more impressive tho; might even be risky dependin on side profile. is your nose crooked?

Can I pm you my side profile? Would you be able to tell me if 10mm would be a lot in my case?
I wouldn’t be able tell without making a morph and it also depends on if it’s linear advancement or CCW.

Ask another user, I have work in a bit so I can’t help.

No, my nose is nice and straight. Do you wanna take a look at my side profile and see if 10mm would help me?

8 to 10 mm Lefort 1 will destroy you nose, upturning of the nose tip and widening of the alar base(nostrils) is extremely common with Lefort 1.

So how many millimeters can you advance your maxilla? without fucking up your nose

It’s not known, 2-4mm is where you’ll only get some slight changes but the nose change depends on the person. It’s because your Anterior Nasal Spine is connected to your lower maxilla which is advanced during Lefort 1.

Nose changes with Lefort 1 are generally good for recessed birdcels but if you already have a nice nose you should be mindful of overadvancing

thats exactly what i meant - you need to be careful here unless you are planning to get a rhino afterwards anyway.

That’s good to know. My maxilla and mandible are fucked but people on this site and IRL have told me that I have a nice nose. It’s a big nose but I think that if I were to get bimax it would mog.

nose appearanxce is always relative to lower third. A recessed lower third will make your nose appear big even if it isnt.

Yeah that’s the thing… I’ve been told by people on this site and IRL that my nose is nice. It’s somewhat large to be fair, but I think if I fixed my jaw, it would mog.
