Salludon has one of the most harmonious side profiles on this site. Balanced Ante face, with great proportions. However, doing the basic facial analysis we notice something unique. The angle formed connecting the radix and lobule, and lobule and chin is 125degrees. Normally a true ante face has a larger angle. The mentolabial angle is also extremely small, 82degrees while the average male has 115-145 (keep in mind the average male is recessed).
These things point toward the fact that Salludons chin is extremely prominent, but he has a slight relative retrognathism of the mandible.
Drawing an S-line (stieler), we see how much his chin protrudes compared to his mandible. Usually both the chin and nasal tip lie on the same line (again, average=recessed, but it highlights the extreme protrusion). The red line is usually drawn to measure mentolabial fold depth. Very interestingly the chin protrudes rather than for 99% where the lower lip projects. It is also uncommon for the chin but not forehead to protrude from the circle.
It is very rare for the pogonion to project so far past the alveolar B - point, and the lower incisor edge. Rare but not impossible.
Other than that, his brow ridge could be more protruding. Since the supraorbital ridge projection is less than ideal (however he is saved by his dimorphic sloped forehead).
So while it is obvious that Salludon has one of the best profiles on me, if his transformation was as a result of mewing, why is his mandible still recessed?
Doesn't his transformation look more like the second panel than the first? An isolated horizontal genioplasty or chin implant only projects the pogonion, compared to mandibular advancement which moves both the alveolar B - point, lower incisor edge, and pogonion forward.
The most damning piece of evidence we have is this:
Isolated horizontal genioplasty or chin implant Decreases the Mentolabial angle, while mandibular advancement (or mewing claims) to Increase the mentolabial angle.
Looking at salludons 82degree angle compared to the male average of 115-145degrees. Do you really think that it's possible that this angle was even less in his before? (hint: it wasn't)
This is how salludons side profile would look if his chin were not as prominent.
Chads are born or sculpted through aesthetic surgery and calculated looksmaxing efforts; Not by mewing.
