Orbital Vector Basics and Importance

[greycel]

There is a lot of confusion about orbital vector. So, I will try to explain it here using this image:

they switched the order for this (it doesn't take a genius to find out which one is for what):

....okay, so we get the gist, let's see some examples.

Negative Orbital Vector with Good fat pads:

Negative Orbital Vector with Bad fat pads:
Look in the mirror greycels jfl

...jk

(don't be fooled by the line, this is a NOV)

Positive Orbital Vector with Bad fat pads:

Positive Orbital Vector with Good fat pads:

what can we conclude: orbital vector doesn't matter that much compared to undereye fat pads. If you want a good undereye, devoid of dark circles or hollowness, you will need fat/filler.

The greatest birdcel model can get away with it, why can't you!

What is mine I’m also fat as shit so when my midface hollows out my ov can appear more positive?

Looks like positive orbital vector with good fat pads, I can't really tell about when it hollows out. Depends on your genetics tbh

What's my orbital vector angle?
Slightly negative?

 

[Akatlyn]

That's what I thought. So I have positive vector with bad fats pads

That's what I thought. So I have positive vector with bad fats pads

But they can also be recessed, causing the hollow undereye, for which you will need a fat grafting or you can fill it with implant and do fat grafting

I think so yeah, but you dont have bad fat pads (depends how they look from front too) and you look low HTN already

Squinting pretty hard in this because back camera and flash

Good fat pads, u got no dark circles

that's not what it means, bone is under all muscle and skin, it's what supports and projects it, if u add fat or filler to a retruded infraorb rim you will just get sagging, not projection

and Gandy (saws) doesnt have a fucking NOV
