Are you recessed? According to all major studies, only 15 - 25% of people have a forward grown maxilla. This means that most of the planet (75 - 85% of people, or 8 out of 10 people,) have a suboptimal, recessed maxilla, a recessed maxilla usually also entails a recessed upper maxilla. This is water to say, however the maxilla is easily the most important bone in the entire face. You cannot be good looking with out a good maxilla unless you are literally 9+ on every other feature.

Which one of these two men do you think mogs? Unless you’re blind, it’s very obviously the one on the right, Jordan Barrett, who has an exceptionally forward grown maxilla.

The maxilla is a very unique facial bone because unlike something like the lower jaw (the mandible,) the maxilla affects nearly every other important bone in the face.

It affects the lower orbitals/eye area, which is essential for canthal support which is what causes the compact “hunter eyes” shape that nearly all psl gods have.

It affects the nose, which is an essential part of facial aesthetics. You cannot mog with a short, recessed nose.

It also affects the zygomatic bone (the cheekbones) which are so essential to looking good that they are nicknamed “the bone of beauty.” It is impossible to have hollow cheeks (good OGEE curve) without prominent cheekbones as well as just looking good at base as since you are a male, your cheekbones are a sexually dimorphic trait. You will look feminine and “cute” (not a compliment) without good cheekbones.

It is the main determinant in facial depth (specifically the upper maxilla) making it vital for a good side, you cannot mog if you don't have a good maxilla from the front or the side.

(Inb4 iqlets say "muh Chico muh Robert Pattinson" jfl. Just have everything else as well as a wide maxilla theory. They are still genetically gifted.)


____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For a very long time, the only fix to a recessed maxilla was through Lefort II/III Osteotomy, which is an extremely invasive, risky, and most importantly, expensive ($45,000 - $60,000+) and barred procedure that is limited only for people that have severe issues health issues, it is rarely (less than .1% of procedures) ever given out for aesthetic purposes because of how risky it is. That is until now.

Introducing the Midface Mask Implant, possibly the most underrated, and best facial implant you could possibly get for what it is. View attachment 4881900

As seen above, this thing covers almost the entire upper midface. Specifically it covers:

- The Infraorbital Rims: The bony edge immediately below the eye socket. Augmenting this area helps correct "tear trough" deformities and provides support to the lower eyelid.

- The Zygomatic Bones (Cheekbones): The central part of the cheekbone. The implant provides anterior (forward) projection and, depending on the patient's goal, can also add lateral cheek width.

- The Paranasal/Maxillary Region: The area surrounding the base of the nose and the upper jaw. This is crucial for correcting midface flatness and improving support for the nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the mouth).

Midface mask implants emerged from the evolution of 3D CT-based custom prosthetics, transitioning from isolated, off-the-shelf facial implants to patient-specific, multi-zone reconstructions. They were developed to solve the limitations of standard implants, which often failed to create seamless, continuous transitions across the infraorbital, malar, and paranasal regions. Unlike standard implants that come pre-made, the Midface Mask Implant is made unique for every patient, ensuring that results are harmonious with the face and fit.

Cost: $6000 - $15,000 (for reference, a Lefort II/III can go from $30,000 to $60,000. You are getting the same results for 1/5th or less of the price.)

Here are the results of a Lefort III Osteotomy vs a Midface Mask Implant:

Lefort III Osteotomy: Midface Mask Implant:

Could you have you told which was which? The girl being severely deformed in that first photo probably gives it away as the Lefort III but just look at the man's results. What an ascension off of a single procedure. This is because the Midface Mask was innovated to be an implant that gives the results of a Lefort procedure without the actual moving of the bone. Let's take a look at the frontal.

Mogger results. If this was combined with Jaw/Chin implants, this dude could've ascended 2 - 3 levels instantly, effectively removing the need for a cosmetic Bimax which is huge. Implants have a much lower recovery time and are generally less risky than Osteotomies such as BSSO and Lefort (combined to make the Bimax.) Essentially, you would not need a Bimax unless you had actual ortho problems or a cosmetic thing like Counter-Clockwise or Clockwise Rotation which obviously cannot be solved with implants.

To continue on the concept developed, this is what the average Midface Implant+ Jaw/Chin implants result could look like if both were done in the same procedure:

Obviously this dude had good upper facial width in his before and got jaw implants, however most of the forum is peanut skulled and would require both upper and lower facial surgeries to achieve this type of look. Look at how amazing that result is though.

Assuming the highest is charged for both implants, the transformation above would cost approximately $45,000 for Midface Mask Implants + Jaw/Chin implants. That is less than the cost of Lefort II/III by themselves and less/around the same price of a Bimax depending on who you're getting it from.

It also costs significantly less than the cost of getting implants for any of the areas mentioned by themselves/together.

So as with any procedure, what are the risks?

Compared to a lot of other procedures/implants, the risk/botch rate is remarkably low, the best mitigation strategy is simply to choose an experienced surgeon.

The main risks are Nerve Damage (specifically to the Infraorbital nerve,) Infection, Asymmetry, Lower Eyelid Malposition, and Step-Off Edges. All of these are dealt with and mitigated during/before the procedure.

Nerve Damage (Permanent: <1%; Temporary: 15%): The infraorbital nerve sits right in the middle of the implant’s territory. It provides sensation to your mid-cheek, side of the nose, and upper lip.
Risk Mitigation: During the 3D design phase, the implant is engineered with a notched tunnel or foramen that fits perfectly over the nerve. This allows the implant to sit flush against the bone without putting any pressure on the nerve itself.

Infection (1% - 4%): Large implants provide a significant surface area for bacteria to colonize. If an infection takes hold on the surface of the implant, the body’s immune system often cannot reach it, potentially requiring the removal of the device.
Risk Mitigation: Surgeons use strict aseptic techniques, often soaking the implant in a triple-antibiotic solution before insertion. Many masks are made of PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) or Porous Polyethylene (Medpor); Medpor allows for tissue ingrowth, which helps the body’s immune cells integrate into the material to fight bacteria.

Asymmetry (Near 0%): Because the mask is a single, rigid piece, if it is off by even a millimeter, the entire midface can look crooked.
Risk Mitigation: Surgeons use 3D-printed surgical guides and titanium screw fixation. The screws lock the implant into the exact coordinates predetermined by the CT scan, ensuring it cannot shift during the healing process. With a custom mask, the chance of skeletal asymmetry is near 0% because the implant is 3D-printed to fit your bone perfectly. Most "asymmetry" reported with masks is actually just pre-existing soft tissue (skin/fat) differences that the implant didn't fully mask.

Step-Off Edges (3%>): If the implant is too thick or the edges are blunt, you might be able to feel (or see) where the plastic ends and your bone begins.
Risk Mitigation: The implant edges are digitally feathered to a thickness of nearly zero. This ensures a seamless transition so that the implant feels like a natural extension of the skull.

No clue if this'll get pinned or not but I guess that just depends on how the thread does. Who cares honestly, as long as someone gets some help from it.

This is a very good procedure, and it deserves more visibility. This is a functional, aesthetic replacement for Bimax/Lefort/BSSO, one of the most popular if not the most popular aesthetic procedures for facial aesthetics ever. This is a gem. Hardmaxx TODAY.

Your perfect life awaits you, your hot wife, your high paying job, the admiration from everyone you meet no matter what, your future kid's respect for you. All of this is a few surgeries away, will you dedicate your life this one time? Or will you let the opportunity pass and some other man do it and live your dream life while you rot away?

just a reminder to only get this surgery if you have a very recessed anterior nasal spine (most likely if ur caucasian this is not for you)

 

[mackeycel]

Implants in paranasal region often look weird when emoting I’ve noticed, some surgeons won’t even do them

Imo just get infras to fix the ogee curve and eyes from the front and cope with having a flat face from the side. Ricecels do it everyday so you can too
