To start of the thread. I acually made this a while ago but never bothered to acually post it but since my rep is running low lets dive in.
1. Cervicomental Angle Refinement (The Ultimate Neck Maxxing)
- What it is: The cervicomental angle is the angle between your chin and neck, and a sharper, well-defined angle here creates a more striking jawline and neck profile.
- How to fix it:
- Platysmaplasty: A neck lift procedure specifically focused on tightening the platysma muscle can improve the sharpness of this angle. Many people neglect the neck, but addressing this can make the entire face appear more youthful.
- Submental Liposuction: For those with fat deposits under the chin, submental liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that can enhance jawline definition, tightening the cervicomental angle for a more chiseled look.
- Benefit: A sharper, more defined jawline and neck, contributing to a slimmer, more youthful appearance.
2. Zygomatic Arch Implants for Cheekbone Projection
- What it is: The zygomatic arch is the bony ridge extending from your cheekbone to your ear. High, pronounced cheekbones are a marker of attractiveness, as they emphasize a V-shaped face in both men and women.
- How to fix it:
- Zygomatic Implants: This surgical procedure involves placing implants on the cheekbones to enhance the projection of the zygomatic arch. This isn’t as common as jaw or chin implants but can significantly enhance facial structure.
- Benefit: Creates a more structured, symmetrical, and prominent face shape, often associated with high-status, beauty, and youthfulness.
3. Orbital Contour Surgery for Under-Eye Hollows
- What it is: The eye area (particularly the orbital rim) plays a huge role in attractiveness. Hollow or sunken eyes can make someone look tired and older, while a well-supported under-eye area can rejuvenate the face.
- How to fix it:
- Infraorbital Rim Implants: These implants are placed under the eyes along the orbital rim, lifting the under-eye area and eliminating the hollow appearance. Unlike fillers, this is a permanent solution.
- Fat Grafting: Transferring fat from other parts of the body to fill the under-eye area can restore lost volume naturally and permanently, rather than using temporary fillers.
- Benefit: Smoother under-eye areas, reduced dark circles, and an overall more awake and youthful appearance.
4. Mandibular Angle Augmentation (Elite-Level Jawline Maxxing)
- What it is: A sharp mandibular angle (the angle of the jaw) creates the strong, masculine jawline often associated with alpha status. It’s not just about the chin; the entire lower third of the face needs to be balanced.
- How to fix it:
- Mandibular Implants: These implants are placed along the jawline, enhancing the angle of the jaw and creating a more square, chiseled appearance. This is an advanced step beyond traditional chin implants and focuses on the entire mandible.
- Jaw Reduction for Overly Prominent Jaws: If your jaw is too wide or disproportionate, a surgeon can shave down excess bone for a more balanced appearance.
- Benefit: A stronger jawline that enhances masculinity, improves facial symmetry, and gives a more authoritative look.
5. Alar Base Reduction for Subtle Nasal Narrowing
- What it is: The alar base is the width of the nostrils at the bottom of the nose. Even with a well-done rhinoplasty, if the nostrils flare out too much, it can detract from the overall nose aesthetics.
- How to fix it:
- Alar Base Reduction: A subtle surgery that reduces the width of the nostrils, bringing them inwards. It complements rhinoplasty and can make the nose look narrower and more refined without being overly obvious.
- Benefit: Achieves a more delicate and balanced nasal structure, drawing attention to other features like the eyes or cheekbones rather than the width of the nose.
6. Palate Expansion (Hidden Maxillary Insufficiency)
- What it is: A narrow palate can affect your entire facial structure. It often leads to a narrow face, poor dental alignment, and even breathing issues. Expanding the palate can improve facial width and symmetry, which is crucial for a balanced, attractive appearance.
- How to fix it:
- Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SARPE): This procedure involves cutting the palate bone and gradually widening it using an orthodontic device. It is particularly useful for those with narrow or recessed maxillas.
- Benefit: Broadens the face, improves smile aesthetics, and can even enhance cheekbone projection.
7. Gonial Angle Optimization
- What it is: The gonial angle is the angle of the lower jaw and plays a crucial role in jawline aesthetics. A well-defined gonial angle is more square and prominent, while a rounded angle can make the face look softer and less defined.
- How to fix it:
- Gonial Angle Enhancement Surgery: Surgeons can shave or augment the gonial angle to create a more pronounced and squared jaw, often combined with mandibular angle augmentation.
- Benefit: Achieves a stronger, more chiseled jawline that enhances facial masculinity or symmetry.
8. Temporal Hollowing Fillers (Temple Maxxing)
- What it is: The temples (sides of the forehead) often hollow out as we age, causing a skeletal, tired appearance. This is often overlooked but plays a major role in how youthful or "full" the upper face looks.
- How to fix it:
- Temple Fillers: Using dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid to fill the temples can round out the upper face, improving the overall facial frame.
- Fat Transfer: A more permanent option, transferring fat from other areas of the body to the temples can help fill out the hollowed areas naturally.
- Benefit: Restores a youthful, fuller appearance to the face and improves overall facial harmony by filling out often-neglected areas.
9. Perioral Area (Lip and Mouth Maxxing)
- What it is: Many people focus on the lips themselves, but the entire perioral area (around the mouth) plays a key role in creating an aesthetically pleasing face. Vertical lip lines, sagging corners, and poorly defined philtrums (the area between the nose and upper lip) can detract from your overall look.
- How to fix it:
- Lip Lift: A surgical procedure that shortens the philtrum, which can improve the appearance of the upper lip and create a more youthful, lifted smile.
- Corner Lip Lift: If the corners of the mouth naturally turn downwards, a subtle lift can be performed to create a more upbeat, neutral expression.
- Benefit: A lifted, more inviting appearance around the mouth and lips, improving facial balance and creating a youthful look.
10. Orbital Surgery for Eye Shape (Lateral Canthopexy)
- What it is: The shape of your eyes significantly affects your overall facial appearance. The lateral canthus (outer corner of the eye) can be repositioned to create a more almond-shaped, elongated eye, which is considered attractive in both men and women.
- How to fix it:
- Lateral Canthopexy: A surgical procedure that lifts the outer corner of the eye, creating an almond shape and improving eye symmetry. This can make eyes look more youthful and engaging.
- Benefit: Bigger, more almond-shaped eyes that draw attention and create a more aesthetically pleasing, exotic appearance.
11. Brow Bone Contouring and Lifting (Advanced Brow Maxxing)
- What it is: The brow bone plays a significant role in framing the eyes and overall facial appearance. A strong brow ridge can create a more masculine look, while a softer or arched brow is seen as more feminine.
- How to fix it:
- Brow Bone Contouring: This surgical procedure involves shaving down a prominent brow bone or enhancing it to create a more balanced appearance.
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: Lifting the brow without leaving significant scars. This can open up the eye area and create a more youthful, alert look.
- Benefit: Creates a more refined, youthful upper face and enhances eye expression.
12. Buccal Fat Pad Removal (Facial Contouring)
- What it is: Buccal fat is the fat found in the lower part of the cheeks. Excess buccal fat can give the face a round or "baby face" appearance, especially in individuals with naturally fuller faces. Removing some of this fat can lead to more defined cheekbones and a slimmer, more angular face shape.
- How to fix it:
- Buccal Fat Pad Removal: A surgical procedure where small incisions are made inside the mouth, and a portion of the buccal fat pads is removed. This enhances cheekbone visibility and provides a more sculpted, hollowed look around the cheeks.
- Benefit: Achieves a slimmer, more contoured midface with sharper cheekbones, making the face look more mature, refined, and angular.
13. Chin Wing Osteotomy for Extreme Jawline and Chin Definition
- What it is: The chin wing osteotomy is an advanced surgical procedure to enhance both the chin and the entire jawline by moving the lower part of the jaw as a single unit, including the chin and jaw angles.
- How to fix it:
- Chin Wing Osteotomy: Unlike a regular chin implant, this surgery involves making precise cuts along the mandible (lower jaw) and repositioning the bone itself, which can add width and create sharper angles. It improves the entire lower third of the face, enhancing the jawline and chin simultaneously.
- Benefit: Produces dramatic and long-lasting jawline enhancement, giving both the chin and the jaw more definition, masculinity, and proportionality.
14. Trapezius Muscle Relaxation (For Better Shoulder Aesthetics)
- What it is: The trapezius muscle, located at the top of the back and shoulders, often becomes overdeveloped due to stress, posture issues, or exercise, leading to a hunched or bulky appearance. By relaxing this muscle, you can create a more elegant and refined neck-shoulder transition, which is critical in framing your face and upper body.
- How to fix it:
- Botox in the Trapezius: Injecting Botox into the trapezius muscle can reduce its size, improving shoulder posture and creating a longer, leaner neck. This is a non-surgical, effective way to slim the trapezius muscle, particularly for people with trapezius hypertrophy.
- Benefit: Improves neck length, posture, and the overall balance between the neck, shoulders, and face, giving a more graceful and defined upper body appearance.
15. Subtle Facial Liposuction (Lower Face and Jowls)
- What it is: Over time, fat can accumulate in the lower face, particularly around the jowls (the area below the jawline and chin). This can cause sagging and make the face appear heavier or older.
- How to fix it:
- Facial Liposuction: A very targeted liposuction technique where small amounts of fat are removed from the jowls and lower face, sharpening the jawline and reducing sagging. It can also help with neck fat accumulation, providing a more defined contour between the neck and face.
- Benefit: Provides a more defined lower face, enhances jawline visibility, and eliminates any droopy or sagging appearance caused by jowls.
16. Maxillary Advancement Surgery (Midface Harmony)
- What it is: Maxillary deficiency or a retruded midface (where the upper jaw is underdeveloped or set too far back) can cause issues like flat cheekbones, recessed upper teeth, or a poor smile aesthetic. Maxillary advancement surgery, commonly known as LeFort Osteotomy, moves the upper jaw forward, improving facial harmony.
- How to fix it:
- LeFort I Osteotomy: This surgical procedure repositions the upper jaw (maxilla) forward, often combined with chin or mandibular adjustments. It enhances the projection of the midface, making the cheekbones more prominent and improving the nasolabial fold.
- Benefit: Balances the midface with the lower face, improves smile aesthetics, cheekbone projection, and facial proportions.
17. Orbital Rim Reduction or Augmentation
- What it is: The orbital rims are the bony structures around the eye sockets. A recessed or over-prominent orbital rim can affect how deep-set or wide your eyes appear, impacting your overall facial harmony.
- How to fix it:
- Orbital Rim Reduction/Augmentation: In cases of overly prominent orbital bones, bone shaving can be performed to reduce their prominence. Alternatively, augmentation through implants or fillers can correct underdeveloped rims, improving how your eyes sit within the face.
- Benefit: Creates better eye symmetry and balance, reduces the "bug-eye" look, or makes deep-set eyes appear less hollow.
18. Lower Canthoplasty for Eye Shape Refinement
- What it is: The lower canthus is the inner corner of the eye. For people whose lower eyelids droop slightly or have a “downturned” appearance, lower canthoplasty is a surgery that can lift the outer corner of the eye to improve symmetry and eye shape.
- How to fix it:
- Lower Canthoplasty: The procedure adjusts the tendons of the lower eyelid, tightening and lifting the outer eye area. This can fix droopy eyelids or overly round eye shapes and help create a more “fox-eye” or almond-shaped appearance.
- Benefit: Enhances eye symmetry and makes eyes appear more alert and youthful without looking overdone or fake.
19. Chin Reshaping with Sliding Genioplasty
- What it is: A sliding genioplasty is a surgical procedure where the chin bone is cut and moved forward or downward to improve projection and overall facial harmony. This is an alternative to chin implants and provides a more natural, bone-based correction.
- How to fix it:
- Sliding Genioplasty: Instead of an implant, this procedure involves moving the actual chin bone, which can give more natural-looking results. The bone is slid forward to increase chin projection or vertically adjusted to elongate the face.
- Benefit: Provides long-lasting, natural enhancement to the chin, improving facial balance, jawline definition, and overall aesthetics.
20. Forehead Augmentation for Better Facial Frame
- What it is: The forehead is often overlooked in looksmaxxing discussions, but it frames the face and can either detract from or enhance other features. A flat or sloped forehead can make the face look less balanced.
- How to fix it:
- Forehead Augmentation: Implants or fat grafting can be used to enhance the projection of the forehead, making it more convex and balancing it with the rest of the face. In cases where the forehead is overly prominent, surgical contouring can reduce its size.
- Benefit: Creates a more proportionate facial frame, improving how your face looks from all angles, especially in profile.
