maxilla importance

[xlefort]

does maxillary recession cause facial sagging in the midface and nasolabial folds? can marpe/lefort fix this?

is it possible to have hollow cheeks with a recessed maxilla?

will palate expanders change zygos/jaw? or give any forward advancement?

 

[BR32]

Lefort can fix that MARPE is cope without severe breathing/craniofacial structural issues.

Only way to have hollow cheeks with a recessed maxilla is buccal fat removal, a lefort, or UC

pallate expander won't fix your zygote or give forward advancement

hardmaxxing is the way to go

@BR32 thanks for the straightforward answer man

with lefort i'll need to get lefort i and not ii/iii because they're only for extremely severe cases but i cant imagine me getting ~8mm of maxillary advancement with just lefort i and seeing that great of a difference in overall aesthetics. will lefort i really do that much for me?

and when you say marpe is cope do you mean its just shit overall or will it do good things for my palate
i ask because im 16 with dark buccal corridor so i want to fix it, what other palate expanding procedures would you recommend?

so you're saying naturally, there's no one who has both a recessed maxilla and hollow cheeks. why does the maxilla have anything to do with the hollowness of your cheeks?
this also subsequently implies that getting a more projected maxilla (surgically) will make my cheeks hollower since im already lean

if someone were naturally really lean and genetically stored very little fat in their face and cheeks, but still had a recessed maxilla, how would the cheeks look?

and what is UC?

yup im thinking lefort and rhino with cartilage grafting for added projection
im just concerned it wont fix my hollow midface, my alar base sits really far back into my maxilla and makes the area around it look flat. i have high collagen skin so no wrinkles or folds but i can tell if i age ill have prominent nasolabial folds. i dont wanna sound tautological but im worried lefort wont fix that

Maxilla is law

 

[xlefort]

but thats his mandible that changed no?

wdym?

That was a fucking joke However, It's not a joke that the maxilla is extremely important.

 

[Ch1gga]

To be fair, the maxilla development dictates the projection/development of the mandible.

oh hahaha, and yes absolutely

what do you think are the top reasons for the importance of the maxilla? and its effects on soft tissue deformation

Your not getting lefort bud

 

[xlefort]

To be fair, the maxilla development dictates the projection/development of the mandible.

true true, its funny though because i have a very forward mandible with a recessed maxilla
do you think it's genetic? cuz i'm half korean

 

[xlefort]

Your not getting lefort bud

i am bud

 

[Ch1gga]

what do you think are the top reasons for the importance of the maxilla?

Every reason you can think of. Without a developed maxilla (Most of it is attributed to malnutrition), you will have a poor bite, palate, nose, lips, zygos, etc. The list goes on and on

Maybe the recessed maxilla gives the illusion of forward projection in the mandible?

gotcha, it's the underlying structure that determines every other feature in your midface fs

im just confused because when i see people talking about how the maxilla affects everything else i just dont see that narrative being reflected in my own face, i feel like i have decent a mandible, lips, and zygos but my midface is super flat
i cant really diagnose the issue

yeah bro i dont know, heres my side profile though

are my zygos good?

never knew if i had good zygos or not. do they lack prominence? do they need to be higher set? on the fence about eventually getting zygo implants. i know all my other flaws im just curious

Your recession isn't even that bad, I was expecting something like this JFL

Genetics do play a role, I've seen guys with poor maxillas and crooked noses but still having a HTN eye area. (Likely due to the supraorbital fat but I have no fucking clue)

lmaooo

but do you see what i mean? my zygos and mandible are good but my maxilla is shit, i think the picture just makes it look better than it actually is

yeah i hear you. my brother has a perfect maxilla and he had proper tongue posture, eating habits, breathed through his nose and stood up straight unlike me, maybe it was environmental
idek

Genetics could have helped you in those areas, your maxilla is recessed but it's not to the point it will fuck up your entire face. (Deformity)

i see
then i could benefit from lefort i

Most likely genetics. Did he eat any differently than you growing up? Was he breast fed more than you? I'm not too familiar with myo functional sciences myself.

Just enjoy your life bhai

not really, it's funny though because both of my parents have recessed maxillas

i preciate that but i cant

the photo made my maxilla look better than it actually is

Also myself, I was never ever breastfed & I grew up eating slop.
