The failo that nobody talks about!

[mirinnnasal]

The forehead shape, the forehead slope all are inherited and largely influenced by phenotypes. I didn't choose this for myself. My brother was explaining to my mom how Europeans tend to have natural "sunglasses" (brow ridges and orbit positioning) because of their developed brow ridges and deep orbital vector while we were at the beach. She didn't quite understand the concept, but I noticed that Caucasian skulls generally have better depth and projection though obviously this is on a large scale. When compared to East Asian skulls, they often aim to resemble European structures. This isn't true in every case, but it's a broad trend. The upper third of the face is particularly important for ethnics cause we tend to have an unideal shape, for example, Somalis.

I am half Ethipion half Saudi, But the point is different variations of this failo can significantly affect facial harmony sometimes to the point of looking comical. If the proportions are off, it can make a person appear as if they are a fucking cartoon character. So, I've come up with some reasonable solutions to address this.

First here are examples of good slopes of the forehead.

Now for my case in specific, I deal with the slope of my forehead being too protrudent. This sucks because it fucks up your whole side profile when your upper third is visible, so now let’s get into solutions for this issue.

I cut this down to three reasonable approaches to the protruding upper third. These pictures will not look exactly like thge results but helps with a rough idea

Bony Forehead Reduction/Contouring​

( Hairline transplant, hairline lowering )

( Forehead reduction )

Also, thoughts on my mandibular plane: Is it too steep? Is my occlusion too high? might be getting marpe soon, so you can get some ccw through it, I heard but djs is the ultimatum.
