Looking at this slice through my zygos I think my maxilla is flat.
But comparing my side profile to your chart it seems not flat.
I might just be on the borderline for flat. I’m certainly recessed but it appears to be mostly in the lower maxilla as my anterior nasal spine is set back from my upper nasal bone.. I don’t see how Lefort 2 alone would be good here, it would have to be segmental 2 and 1 combined.
It also raises a question about infraorbital implants because unless you already have an exemplary “3D” maxilla, they are going to flatten it out even more. I’m not sure my face can support them at all without Lefort 2.

Good thread.
View attachment 4205497would you say my maxilla is similar in 3Dness to your ceph? i’m not sure if a high cut lf1 would do much improvement?
so a trimax wouldn’t be a great idea to pursue?Looks quite flat but having good cheekbones literally works against you for this.

whats that? whats a maxilla?Maxillary Protrusion and Retrusion
Maxillary protrusion and retrusion is how anteriorly positioned your palate is in relation to your neurocranium.
View attachment 4199761
Whether a maxilla is recessed or not recessed depends on the relationship between the positions of the palate, eyes, and mandible. And the space in the airway.
Recessed maxilla indicators:
Recessed maxilla can cause functional health issues such as tooth wear (in class III malocclusion), airway constriction (can cause sleep apnea), and speech problems.
- Negative orbital vector
- Nasolabial folds
- Retrognathic profile
- Underbite (class III malocclusion)
- Teeth look inwardly set when smiling
Maxillary 3Dness and Flatness
Maxillary “3D”ness is an aesthetic look that comes from:
- anterior projection of the paranasal area, nasal sill, anterior nasal spine, and pyriform aperture
- backwardly-angled zygomatic processes of the maxilla (the “connecting wings” that border the zygos) making the midface look fox-like as opposed to pancake
View attachment 4199878
Unlike protrusion/retrusion, 3Dness/flatness is an entirely aesthetic feature and has no bearing on health.
3Dness/flatness is closely related to the orbitomaxillary plane angle. More about that here:

Looks good bro.I morphed Loli Bahia to have a semi-ideal maxilla.
The prospect of surgery gets more and more grim the more you learn. We are so much limited by our jaws. a forward grown maxilla provides a positive orbital vector by default.It also raises a question about infraorbital implants because unless you already have an exemplary “3D” maxilla, they are going to flatten it out even more.

If your maxilla is recessed it's going to look flat, Frankfurt plane angle as a neutral vector regardless of any prognathism.

Majority of people according to Dr. John Mew have about 2 centimeters of facial recession on average and you can even tell in your favorite mogger they could be more forward grown, so off that alone most people aren't perfectly forward grown through all 3 thirds of the face

View attachment 4208866
Secondly maxillary prognathism (lower palate growth) should just be look in isolation for maxillary recession vs proper growth, upper part should be considered too
If you look at how the maxilla grows it's a 2 part thing with primary displacement as well as secondary displacement when structures like the aperture and nasomaxillary complex grows which also furthers displaces it forward/downwards again

Lacrimal suture allows for the maxilla to grow downwards which is a very necessary event to certain degrees for males

There's also growth rotations that can significantly affect how projected whatever growth you have looks too, angulate everything better, differently
View attachment 4208898
Excellent bloody gif and it perfectly shows how literally everything has to grow forwards?
I know it's also a relative comparison but should the zygos just not project forward, why are they moving so much backward relative, so much negative displacement?
Also besides the nasal spine and nasal ridge how important is nasal aperture growth, what does a project vs recessed one look like
Few big questions that if you're pressed for time I'd love if you can answer although @thecel
Can you PLEASE post an example of what this would look like, a mogger vs subhuman please

Just because it's not horribly recessed or there is some lower prognathism doesn't mean they're not recessed, they have little superficial bone growth on the maxila (nasorbital aspects but body is still heavily recessed despite the prognathism)

Here is how I separate and categorize facial depth.
Certain landmarks are constant and can’t be changed like the external auditory meatus, tragus, anterior/posterior positioning of the eyes, neck and to some extent the hyoid bone. These are the constant reference marks. Everything else can be moved forward with the properly modified surgeries.
It’s my opinion that the most overlooked subcategory of facial depth is anterior facial depth which is projection or retrusion in the LeFort 2 region. It’s probably the area which sets apart average people from beautiful people the most.
Anterior Facial Depth
(The projection of the central midface off the posterior midface and is enhanced through LeFort 2 Osteotomy)

![]()
Posterior Facial Depth
The projection of the entire face as a unit from the rest of the skull and corrected by a LeFort 3 Advancement or implants informed by the LeFort 3 Concept.

Too underrated man and with enough ramii (good Mandibular plane angle) + frontonasal area and an aesthetic frontal bone you can look pretty aesthetic even without too much raw facial growth/midfacial displacement, see it on caucasoids all the timeyep the frontonasal area is the reason why some end up dogmaxxed with advancement surgeries, heavily underrated with most normies
so can someone have both recession and flat maxilla at the same time?Maxillary Protrusion and Retrusion

Some even without a good lower third/ramii (Ben Affleck, Christian Bale) or a perfect frontal bone with facial recession/viscrercocranium but decent nasofrontal area (Pattison)
Overall cranial depth/skull to heigh ratio too underrated as well, people don't take facial aesthetics for what it is which is a milisecond total estimation of your features and entire skull
Yes of course and many-most are recessed lol to relative degreesso can someone have both recession and flat maxilla at the same time?
my maxilla is likely just less anteriorly rotated
It usually does though lol and "recessed" is a broad term it needs contextBeen sayin ts
flat does not mean recessed
that word get thrown around too much imo
