Just going to post all of my progress in here from now on instead of making new threads for each event.
about me:
26yo. 5'9" software engineer. hobbies include plants, rock climbing, body building, music (making and listening). have a gf, so this self improvement train is mainly just for my own personal satisfaction.
brief recap:
april 2024: start
april 2024: hair transplant
was really excited for this. just called a place in atlanta on a whim and scheduled one for rwo days later. Cost 5k, they said they did 1800 grafts but prob shorted me. and it looked like shit in the end, low density. but it was enough i could pull off shorter hair styles and hide the thinness with root cover spray.
jan 2026: pre jaw surgery
heres how i ended up looking pre jaw surgery. total "chud" as u fellas say. gym maxed a good bit, u can see me next to my family here. face was cooked though. censored fams face for their anonymity and cuz im the ugliest one
censored a company hat i was wearing so u weird fucks dont harass em. u can see the face still looks that same as first pic, not a lot of change.
jan 2026: first big surgery
This is a photo of me healed from my first big surgery (still using root cover to hide the thinning front). DJS with 7ish mm downward and forward movement. 4.5mm infra/malar implants. (20k total expense for this round)
april 2026: 2nd major surgeries
had a rhino, buccal fat removal, co2 laser, and hair transplant 2 weeks ago. Rhino isnt completely unswollen so results arent full yet. hair transplant was way better this time, 3100 grafts. no root cover in this photo. its gunna grow out nice. like 11k cost for this trip i think
plan for future:
i had google gemini create an image of my end game based on that last photo from our recap, as if i had palate expansion, genio, and full maxilla implants. obv it totally chadified me and i wont get close to this, but this is the vision

plan for future:
- start lifting again
- havent dieted or trained or did anything starting 2026
- will post maybe monthly or so updates on this thread
- i have the genetics to push size if i really want to, but I think i might shift gears and just train to look good instead
- starting lifting again saturday (3 weeks post rhino, 2.5weeks post hair transplant; should be good i think)
- skincare
- current routine: niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, sunscreen. frequent tret and biweekly microneedling, but these are on pause to recover from co2 laser
- adding accutane soon (should be here next week)
- grow hair out now that i can
- kybella under chin
- got some coming in the mail so why not
- next big step: orthodontics (SARPE)
- meeting with an ortho tomorrow
- ive decided the next big thing i need is sarpe.
- i have a narrow palate (6 tooth smile)
- mid face needs additional support
- airway still isnt perfect
- cant start this til a year post djs, so this will likely be my happening for the entire 2027
- second big step: big surgery
- my mid face is probably gunna still need implants after expansion. either full maxilla or paranasals (leaning towards full max obv cuz its cool, havent seen any results though)
- genio. my chin is has lateral asymmetry. could center it. its also upturned, could downturn it a bit. if theres some way to fix it with just implants then id do that instead, but im not too optimistic here. we'll see when the time comes.
- lip lift. ive heard theres a drop down effect from expansion that might give me more tooth show. if not im gunna get a lip lift to show the teeth better
- possible face lift. we'll see how we're looking
- if i have to let the teeth settle for a long time after palate expansion then I may have to wait to do this in 2028.
