[anonym20000]

If someone has like 100k$ and looks horrible, it's smarter to buy a nice car to impress girls than get a random surgery. Even smarter would be to invest it in the stock market and save the money to buy a house later in life. Looks are important like rhino, buccal fat removal, fillers, fat dissolvants make sense bc they are relatively safe and cheap. But those big surgeries, there is ALMOST no point.

Surgeries:



LL (Limb Lengthening Surgery):
View attachment 3661636
A surgical procedure where your leg bones are intentionally broken and a metal device (either external or internal) is attached to gradually pull the bones apart, allowing new bone to form in the gap. This can add 2-6 inches to your height depending on whether
one or both segments (femur and/or tibia) are lengthened, and how much your body can safely tolerate.​

View attachment 3658646Price:
Ranges from $50,000 to $120,000+, depending on country and surgeon,
number of segments operated (femurs vs. tibias), and whether it's internal or external fixators.
Hidden costs: travel, physiotherapy, rehab, loss of income during downtime. Full true cost closer to $150k+ if you want a life afterward.

View attachment 3658646 Pros: ​

• One of the few surgeries that can literally change your SMV if you're under 5’6. Brings you into the "visible male" threshold.
• Results are permanent, height is important for social, career, and dating.
• Can psychologically ascend you if you were heightmogged your whole life.
• If done flawlessly, you will pass as a natural tall guy.

View attachment 3658646 Cons: ​

• Pain is excruciating, rated worse than childbirth or cancer pain by some patients.
• You are breaking your legs and stretching them millimeter by millimeter for months.
• Recovery involves months in a wheelchair, walker, crutches. Gait issues and limping common.
• Complications are not rare: bone infection, leg length discrepancy, nerve injury, joint stiffness.
• It can ruin your biomechanics permanently. You'll never run or squat properly again if unlucky.
• If you aren’t already good-looking in the face, height won’t save you.
• Most normies won't understand. You’ll have to lie or ghost everyone for 1 year minimum.

Reality Level:

Spoiler: Reality level

You should only even think about considering it if you’re under 5'6 . This isn’t as easy as you think, grey. You will fuck up your mental health, physical health, and social life. And be honest with yourself: you’re never going to get LL, so stop making bullshit posts about it.

OBO (Orbital Box Osteotomy):
View attachment 3671315View attachment 3671358
A highly complex surgical procedure where the bone surrounding the eye socket (orbital box) is cut, repositioned,
and fixed in a new position. This can change the projection, width, and height of the eye area. Surgeons may remove, reposition,
or add bone to create the desired effect, altering the appearance of the eyes and surrounding structures.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

$40k-80k baseline depending on surgeon​

Often requires international travel to find qualified surgeons​

Additional $10k-20k for planning and custom implants​

Hidden costs: Months of recovery time, potential vision therapy​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Can fix sunken or asymmetrical eyes
• Improves orbital rim projection
• Can create hunter eyes effect if done correctly
• One of the few surgeries that can actually change eye area

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Risk of permanent vision changes or blindness (yes, seriously)
• Extreme swelling that lasts months
• Potential for horrible scarring
• Most surgeons refuse to do it purely for cosmetic reasons
• Recovery involves weeks of not being able to read, use screens, or function
• Mental health impact of looking like a monster for months during recovery

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

This is one of the most extreme procedures with the highest risk. If you're obsessing over your orbital rims while the rest of your face is a mess, you need therapy, not surgery. The eye area is incredibly complex and sensitive. Most "after" photos you see are cherry-picked and heavily filtered. The horror stories don't make it to the forums.

Lefort 1,2 & 3:
View attachment 3670922
A series of facial osteotomies (bone cuts) categorized by levels of complexity. Lefort 1 involves cutting and repositioning just the upper jaw.
Lefort 2 includes the upper jaw plus nasal and lower orbital bones. Lefort 3 is the most extensive,
involving the entire midface from the eye sockets down, essentially detaching the face from the skull base to reposition it.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

Lefort 1: $20k-40k depending on surgeon reputation and country​

Lefort 2: $35k-60k for midface advancement​

Lefort 3: $60k-100k+ (extremely complex, few surgeons can do it)​

Insurance might cover only if you have severe functional issues with proof​

Hidden costs: Liquid diet for weeks, titanium plates that stay forever, potential revisions​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Can completely change your midface projection (Lefort 2/3)
• Can fix recessed cheekbones and flat faces
• Works for cases of severe midface retrusion where fillers would look fake
• Functional benefits for breathing if you have midface issues

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Risk of asymmetry is extremely high
• Nerve damage risk (can lose sensation in parts of your face permanently)
• Recovery is brutal - 2-3 months before swelling goes down to "presentable"
• Potential for sinus issues for life
• If combined with other procedures, risk of getting that "uncanny autist" look
• Most normies won't even know what changed, just that you look "different"

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

Lefort 3 is basically facial reconstruction territory and mainly for deformities. If you're considering it for looks alone, you're deep in the delusion zone. Lefort 1 can be worth it for severe functional issues. Remember, most "ascended" guys you see online had perfect baseline genetics and just needed minor tweaks. The rest got botched but don't post about it.

Bimax (Bimaxillary Osteotomy)
View attachment 3670243
A procedure where both your upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible) are cut, repositioned, and fixed with titanium plates and screws.
The surgeon makes incisions inside your mouth, cuts the bones, moves them to desired positions, and then secures them.
This can correct recessed jaws, overbites, underbites, and improve facial balance.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

$30k-80k USD depending on surgeon and country​

Health insurance will reject you if they smell "cosmetic" - you better be a good actor about sleep apnea​

Hidden costs: liquid diet supplies, time off work (2-4 weeks min), pain meds, follow-ups​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Can actually change your face shape and fix recessed jaws
• Forward growth = immediate ascension if you had a weak chin/jaw
• Can fix breathing issues, sleep apnea, and bite problems
• Results are permanent (unless you get botched)

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Insane facial swelling for weeks - you'll look like a punching bag
• Nerves get cut = permanent numbness in parts of your face for 20-50% of patients
• Eating through a syringe for weeks
• Can't laugh, sneeze, or yawn normally without pain for months
• If surgeon miscalculates even slightly = asymmetry forever
• Risk of TMJ issues that make your previous problems seem minor
• Some results don't show for 6+ months - you'll be coping "it's just swelling bro" for a LONG time

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

If you're actually deformed or have severe function issues, worth considering. If you're just a normie who thinks a slightly stronger jaw will get you laid, you're delusional. Most results look uncanny if you don't need it functionally.

CCW (Counter Clock Wise) Rotation Surgery:
View attachment 3671222
A specialized jaw surgery technique where both jaws are rotated counterclockwise as a unit to improve facial aesthetics and function.
This rotation typically brings the chin forward and up while bringing the upper teeth down,
creating a more harmonious profile and better jaw angle. It's almost always performed as part of a larger orthognathic surgery plan.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

$30k-70k as part of jaw surgery package​

Usually combined with other procedures, rarely done alone​

Most surgeons won't even attempt without extensive planning​

Hidden costs: Multiple consultations, 3D planning fees, revision funds​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Can dramatically improve facial harmony and profile
• Changes the entire lower third angle of your face
• Can make a weak chin appear stronger without implants
• Creates more masculine angles in facial structure

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Extremely complex, high risk of complications
• Can create breathing issues if rotation is too aggressive
• Common complaint: "My bite feels off forever"
• Recovery involves months of not being able to fully open your mouth
• Requires perfect planning or you'll look worse than before
• Potential for relapse if your muscles fight the new position

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

If you're hyperfixated on specific angles of your face that normies don't even notice, you're already too far gone. CCW rotation is an advanced technique that makes sense for maybe 1% of cases. For most greycels, fixing basics like skin, weight, and hair would do more than this complex surgery ever could. The risk-reward ratio is trash unless you're severely deformed.

PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs):
View attachment 3671547View attachment 3671538
Chemical compounds used to enhance physical performance, muscle growth, bone growth and body composition beyond natural capability. These include anabolic steroids (like testosterone), human growth hormone (HGH), SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators), and various peptides. Some are taken orally, others injected, often cycled in specific patterns to maximize results while attempting to minimize side effects.
​

---

Testosterone (Test):
View attachment 3673228
The primary male sex hormone and the foundation of virtually all steroid cycles. Injected typically into muscle tissue 1-3 times weekly depending on the ester (cypionate, enanthate, propionate). Serves as the base compound that all other anabolics are stacked with.
​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

Pharmaceutical grade: $30-100/month​

UGL (Underground Lab): $20-60/month​

Ancillaries (AI, PCT): $30-80 additional​

Hidden costs: Syringes, alcohol wipes, blood work ($150-300 every 2-3 months)​

​

​

View attachment 3658646 Pros: ​

• The most researched PED with decades of medical usage
• Increases muscle mass, strength, and recovery
• Reduces body fat when diet is in check
• Improves mood, confidence, and libido for most users
• Can improve facial aesthetics through slight reduction in facial fat and increased angular appearance

​

View attachment 3658646 Cons:​

• Shuts down natural testosterone production - recovery not guaranteed
• Can cause accelerated hair loss if genetically predisposed
• Potential for acne, gynecomastia, elevated blood pressure
• Requires frequent injections (fear of needles = no gains)
• Legal issues in most countries without prescription
• Many clinics will reject you for TRT after steroid usage

Reality Level:

Spoiler: Reality Level

Test alone won't transform your face or physique magically. Results are 70% genetics, 20% diet/training, 10% drugs. Most greys drastically overestimate what just testosterone will do. If you're fat, you'll be a stronger fat guy. If you're skinny, you'll be a slightly less skinny guy. The chads you see on gear had chad genetics to begin with. Don't expect it to fix your bone structure or life problems.

TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy):​

View attachment 3671547
A medical treatment where testosterone is administered to men with clinically low testosterone levels to bring them into the normal range.
Unlike steroid cycles, TRT aims for physiological replacement doses (typically 100-200mg/week) rather than supraphysiological levels,
and is meant to be a lifelong treatment rather than a temporary cycle.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

Legitimate clinic: $150-300/month including consultations and blood work​

Online TRT clinic: $100-200/month​

Insurance-covered TRT: $10-50/month (but increasingly difficult to get approved)​

Self-administered "TRT": $20-50/month (same UGL sources as cycles)​

Hidden costs: Regular blood work, potential fertility treatments later in life, lifetime commitment​

​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Legal when prescribed by a physician
• Can restore energy, libido, mood, and body composition for men with actually low T
• More stable hormone levels than cycling on/off steroids
• Medical supervision reduces health risks
• May improve facial appearance through reduced facial fat and better skin/muscle tone
• Less side effects than steroid cycles when properly managed

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Increasingly difficult to get prescribed unless truly hypogonadal
• Clinics often require "in range" levels (450-600 ng/dL) even if you feel symptoms
• Lifetime commitment - once on, most men never come off
• Natural testosterone production shuts down completely
• Causes infertility in most men without additional drugs (hCG, HMG)
• Still requires injections (typically 1-2 times weekly)
• Most men need additional medications to control estrogen side effects

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

Most guys eye TRT as a "safe" entry into hormone manipulation, but here's the realitypill: legitimate TRT is getting harder to get approved unless you're actually hypogonadal (under 300 ng/dL consistently). Most clinics will reject young guys unless they've exhausted all other options first.

The looksmaxing benefits are massively overhyped. If you're truly low T, getting to normal levels might make you feel better and lose some face bloat, but it's not transformative. If your T levels are already normal (400-700 ng/dL), TRT will shut down your natural production just to replace it with the same levels artificially - a net neutral change with added risks.

The reality: many young guys claiming "TRT" are actually running mini steroid cycles (250-300mg/week), not true replacement therapy (100-150mg/week), then wondering why they get side effects. If you're considering TRT primarily for face gains, you're chasing a fantasy. Medical professionals laugh at the guys asking for T scripts while listing off aesthetic complaints.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH):
View attachment 3673640
A peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration. Unlike testosterone, HGH must be injected daily or multiple times daily, typically subcutaneously. It's not technically an anabolic steroid but works synergistically with them.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

Pharmaceutical grade: $300-600/month for effective doses (4-6 IU daily minimum)​

Generic Chinese: $100-300/month (quality extremely variable)​

Hidden costs: Insulin syringes, blood glucose monitoring, insulin (for advanced users)​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Improved skin quality and collagen production
• Enhanced fat loss, particularly in stubborn areas
  Better sleep quality for many users
• Potential for some bone growth in jaw/face if growth plates aren't completely fused
• Synergistic effect when combined with testosterone

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Extremely expensive for real results
• Most "HGH" sold online is fake or severely underdosed
• Side effects include water retention, carpal tunnel syndrome, insulin resistance
• Potential for organ growth including heart (enlarged heart = health problems)
• Takes months of consistent use to see noticeable benefits
• Daily injections required indefinitely
• High doses (10+ IU daily) for prolonged periods can cause acromegaly-like features: enlarged jaw, nose growth, prominent brow/forehead, enlarged hands/feet, and coarse facial features
• These acromegaly changes are often permanent and can become disfiguring rather than aesthetic

Reality Level:

Spoiler: Reality Level

The ultimate rich guy PED. Unless you've got thousands to blow monthly, real pharma GH is out of your reach. That Chinese generic you're buying? Probably just peptides or severely underdosed. The "face transformation" effects require years of high-dose use that would cost more than most surgical procedures.

The acromegaly truth: Those "bone mass gain" you're chasing can quickly turn into disfiguring changes if you push doses too high. What starts as "masculine features" can end as "monster face" - look at pro bodybuilders who've abused GH for decades. Their enlarged features aren't aesthetic; they're medical symptoms.

Most looksmaxers talking about "GH bone mass gains" have never actually run it themselves or are using such low doses that the facial effects are minimal. The sweet spot between "enough to change your face" and "so much you look deformed" is extremely narrow and impossible to control precisely.

The realitypill: HGH is a hail mary that costs more than surgery with less predictable results.

DHT Derivatives (Masteron, Proviron, etc.):
View attachment 3673915
A class of steroids derived from dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for many male characteristics. Popular varieties include Masteron (drostanolone), Proviron (mesterolone), and Primobolan (methenolone). Known for producing dry, hard physiques with minimal water retention.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

Masteron: $50-120/month​

Proviron: $30-70/month​

Primobolan: $150-300/month (one of the most expensive)​

Hidden costs: Hair loss treatments, lipid support supplements​

​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Muscle hardening and dry appearance
• Potential facial masculinization through androgenic effects
• Reduced water retention compared to other compounds
• Some (like Proviron) can help with libido/erectile issues on cycle
• Often lower side effect profile than harsher compounds

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Absolutely devastating to hairlines - if you're prone to MPB, say goodbye
• Can crash HDL (good cholesterol) and elevate LDL (bad cholesterol)
• Modest muscle building effects compared to stronger compounds
• Most require injectable testosterone base anyway
• Often faked due to their popularity and price

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

DHT derivatives are the "pretty boy" PEDs that many looksmaxers gravitate toward for their "face gains" potential. Here's the brutal truth: if you're past 20, your facial bone structure ain't changing from drugs. What you'll get is slightly less facial water retention and maybe more visible jawline IF you're already lean. What you'll definitely get is an accelerated baldness timeline if you have those genes. The risk-to-reward ratio for purely cosmetic purposes is terrible.

Synthetic anabolic steroids designed to be taken orally rather than injected. Modified with an alkylation at the 17th carbon position to survive liver metabolism. Common varieties include Anavar (oxandrolone), Winstrol (stanozolol), Dianabol (methandrostenolone), and Anadrol (oxymetholone).​

Anavar (pharma grade): $100-200/month
Anavar (UGL): $60-120/month
Dianabol: $30-60/month
Winstrol: $40-80/month
Hidden costs: Liver support supplements, lipid support, potentially medical treatment​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Convenience of oral administration (no injections)
• Rapid strength gains, particularly with Dianabol and Anadrol
• Some (like Anavar) considered "milder" with fewer side effects
• Fast-acting results visible within weeks
• Can temporarily enhance facial definition through glycogen loading and water manipulation

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Extremely liver toxic - enzyme values can skyrocket
• Should never be run more than 6-8 weeks consecutively
• Terrible impact on cholesterol/lipid profiles
• Most require injectable test base anyway to prevent hormonal crash
• Often faked or underdosed due to popularity and cost
• Can cause significant water retention (Dianabol, Anadrol)

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

Oral steroids are the "gateway drug" of the PED world due to needle phobia. They're also the most likely to fuck up your health in the shortest time. That "mild" Anavar you think you're taking? Probably Winstrol or underdosed. That temporary facial definition from Winstrol? Just temporary drying effect that disappears when you stop. The reality is that orals alone will give you minimal lasting benefits while potentially causing permanent liver strain. Most looksmaxers would be better served by fixing their diet than playing Russian roulette with their liver for temporary cosmetic effects.

• Nutrient partitioning effects (more calories go to muscle vs fat)
• Potential facial structure enhancement through androgen receptor density increase
• Results visible much faster than most other compounds

• Respiratory issues ("tren cough")
• Potential for erectile dysfunction despite increased libido

If you're considering tren as a looksmaxing strategy, you've gone too deep into the rabbit hole. This is one of the harshest compounds available that even experienced bodybuilders approach with caution. The mental side effects alone have ended relationships, careers, and lives. The facial "benefits" are temporary and not worth the permanent damage to your health. The guys recommending tren for looksmaxing have either never used it or are too deep in the delusion to see what it's doing to them.

A surgical procedure where your leg bones are intentionally broken and a metal device (either external or internal) is attached to gradually pull the bones apart, allowing new bone to form in the gap. This can add 2-6 inches to your height depending on whether
one or both segments (femur and/or tibia) are lengthened, and how much your body can safely tolerate.​

• One of the few surgeries that can literally change your SMV if you're under 5’6. Brings you into the "visible male" threshold.
• Results are permanent, height is important for social, career, and dating.
• Can psychologically ascend you if you were heightmogged your whole life.
• If done flawlessly, you will pass as a natural tall guy.

View attachment 3658646 Cons: ​

• Pain is excruciating, rated worse than childbirth or cancer pain by some patients.
• You are breaking your legs and stretching them millimeter by millimeter for months.
• Recovery involves months in a wheelchair, walker, crutches. Gait issues and limping common.
• Complications are not rare: bone infection, leg length discrepancy, nerve injury, joint stiffness.
• It can ruin your biomechanics permanently. You'll never run or squat properly again if unlucky.
• If you aren’t already good-looking in the face, height won’t save you.
• Most normies won't understand. You’ll have to lie or ghost everyone for 1 year minimum.

OBO (Orbital Box Osteotomy):
View attachment 3671315View attachment 3671358
A highly complex surgical procedure where the bone surrounding the eye socket (orbital box) is cut, repositioned,
and fixed in a new position. This can change the projection, width, and height of the eye area. Surgeons may remove, reposition,
or add bone to create the desired effect, altering the appearance of the eyes and surrounding structures.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

$40k-80k baseline depending on surgeon​

Often requires international travel to find qualified surgeons​

Additional $10k-20k for planning and custom implants​

Hidden costs: Months of recovery time, potential vision therapy​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Can fix sunken or asymmetrical eyes
• Improves orbital rim projection
• Can create hunter eyes effect if done correctly
• One of the few surgeries that can actually change eye area

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Risk of permanent vision changes or blindness (yes, seriously)
• Extreme swelling that lasts months
• Potential for horrible scarring
• Most surgeons refuse to do it purely for cosmetic reasons
• Recovery involves weeks of not being able to read, use screens, or function
• Mental health impact of looking like a monster for months during recovery

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

This is one of the most extreme procedures with the highest risk. If you're obsessing over your orbital rims while the rest of your face is a mess, you need therapy, not surgery. The eye area is incredibly complex and sensitive. Most "after" photos you see are cherry-picked and heavily filtered. The horror stories don't make it to the forums.

Lefort 1,2 & 3:
View attachment 3670922
A series of facial osteotomies (bone cuts) categorized by levels of complexity. Lefort 1 involves cutting and repositioning just the upper jaw.
Lefort 2 includes the upper jaw plus nasal and lower orbital bones. Lefort 3 is the most extensive,
involving the entire midface from the eye sockets down, essentially detaching the face from the skull base to reposition it.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

Lefort 1: $20k-40k depending on surgeon reputation and country​

Lefort 2: $35k-60k for midface advancement​

Lefort 3: $60k-100k+ (extremely complex, few surgeons can do it)​

Insurance might cover only if you have severe functional issues with proof​

Hidden costs: Liquid diet for weeks, titanium plates that stay forever, potential revisions​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Can completely change your midface projection (Lefort 2/3)
• Can fix recessed cheekbones and flat faces
• Works for cases of severe midface retrusion where fillers would look fake
• Functional benefits for breathing if you have midface issues

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Risk of asymmetry is extremely high
• Nerve damage risk (can lose sensation in parts of your face permanently)
• Recovery is brutal - 2-3 months before swelling goes down to "presentable"
• Potential for sinus issues for life
• If combined with other procedures, risk of getting that "uncanny autist" look
• Most normies won't even know what changed, just that you look "different"

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

Lefort 3 is basically facial reconstruction territory and mainly for deformities. If you're considering it for looks alone, you're deep in the delusion zone. Lefort 1 can be worth it for severe functional issues. Remember, most "ascended" guys you see online had perfect baseline genetics and just needed minor tweaks. The rest got botched but don't post about it.

Bimax (Bimaxillary Osteotomy)
View attachment 3670243
A procedure where both your upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible) are cut, repositioned, and fixed with titanium plates and screws.
The surgeon makes incisions inside your mouth, cuts the bones, moves them to desired positions, and then secures them.
This can correct recessed jaws, overbites, underbites, and improve facial balance.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

$30k-80k USD depending on surgeon and country​

Health insurance will reject you if they smell "cosmetic" - you better be a good actor about sleep apnea​

Hidden costs: liquid diet supplies, time off work (2-4 weeks min), pain meds, follow-ups​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Can actually change your face shape and fix recessed jaws
• Forward growth = immediate ascension if you had a weak chin/jaw
• Can fix breathing issues, sleep apnea, and bite problems
• Results are permanent (unless you get botched)

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Insane facial swelling for weeks - you'll look like a punching bag
• Nerves get cut = permanent numbness in parts of your face for 20-50% of patients
• Eating through a syringe for weeks
• Can't laugh, sneeze, or yawn normally without pain for months
• If surgeon miscalculates even slightly = asymmetry forever
• Risk of TMJ issues that make your previous problems seem minor
• Some results don't show for 6+ months - you'll be coping "it's just swelling bro" for a LONG time

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

If you're actually deformed or have severe function issues, worth considering. If you're just a normie who thinks a slightly stronger jaw will get you laid, you're delusional. Most results look uncanny if you don't need it functionally.

CCW (Counter Clock Wise) Rotation Surgery:
View attachment 3671222
A specialized jaw surgery technique where both jaws are rotated counterclockwise as a unit to improve facial aesthetics and function.
This rotation typically brings the chin forward and up while bringing the upper teeth down,
creating a more harmonious profile and better jaw angle. It's almost always performed as part of a larger orthognathic surgery plan.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

$30k-70k as part of jaw surgery package​

Usually combined with other procedures, rarely done alone​

Most surgeons won't even attempt without extensive planning​

Hidden costs: Multiple consultations, 3D planning fees, revision funds​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Can dramatically improve facial harmony and profile
• Changes the entire lower third angle of your face
• Can make a weak chin appear stronger without implants
• Creates more masculine angles in facial structure

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Extremely complex, high risk of complications
• Can create breathing issues if rotation is too aggressive
• Common complaint: "My bite feels off forever"
• Recovery involves months of not being able to fully open your mouth
• Requires perfect planning or you'll look worse than before
• Potential for relapse if your muscles fight the new position

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

If you're hyperfixated on specific angles of your face that normies don't even notice, you're already too far gone. CCW rotation is an advanced technique that makes sense for maybe 1% of cases. For most greycels, fixing basics like skin, weight, and hair would do more than this complex surgery ever could. The risk-reward ratio is trash unless you're severely deformed.

PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs):
View attachment 3671547View attachment 3671538
Chemical compounds used to enhance physical performance, muscle growth, bone growth and body composition beyond natural capability. These include anabolic steroids (like testosterone), human growth hormone (HGH), SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators), and various peptides. Some are taken orally, others injected, often cycled in specific patterns to maximize results while attempting to minimize side effects.
​

---

Testosterone (Test):
View attachment 3673228
The primary male sex hormone and the foundation of virtually all steroid cycles. Injected typically into muscle tissue 1-3 times weekly depending on the ester (cypionate, enanthate, propionate). Serves as the base compound that all other anabolics are stacked with.
​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

Pharmaceutical grade: $30-100/month​

UGL (Underground Lab): $20-60/month​

Ancillaries (AI, PCT): $30-80 additional​

Hidden costs: Syringes, alcohol wipes, blood work ($150-300 every 2-3 months)​

​

​

View attachment 3658646 Pros: ​

• The most researched PED with decades of medical usage
• Increases muscle mass, strength, and recovery
• Reduces body fat when diet is in check
• Improves mood, confidence, and libido for most users
• Can improve facial aesthetics through slight reduction in facial fat and increased angular appearance

​

View attachment 3658646 Cons:​

• Shuts down natural testosterone production - recovery not guaranteed
• Can cause accelerated hair loss if genetically predisposed
• Potential for acne, gynecomastia, elevated blood pressure
• Requires frequent injections (fear of needles = no gains)
• Legal issues in most countries without prescription
• Many clinics will reject you for TRT after steroid usage

Reality Level:

Spoiler: Reality Level

Test alone won't transform your face or physique magically. Results are 70% genetics, 20% diet/training, 10% drugs. Most greys drastically overestimate what just testosterone will do. If you're fat, you'll be a stronger fat guy. If you're skinny, you'll be a slightly less skinny guy. The chads you see on gear had chad genetics to begin with. Don't expect it to fix your bone structure or life problems.

TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy):​

View attachment 3671547
A medical treatment where testosterone is administered to men with clinically low testosterone levels to bring them into the normal range.
Unlike steroid cycles, TRT aims for physiological replacement doses (typically 100-200mg/week) rather than supraphysiological levels,
and is meant to be a lifelong treatment rather than a temporary cycle.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

Legitimate clinic: $150-300/month including consultations and blood work​

Online TRT clinic: $100-200/month​

Insurance-covered TRT: $10-50/month (but increasingly difficult to get approved)​

Self-administered "TRT": $20-50/month (same UGL sources as cycles)​

Hidden costs: Regular blood work, potential fertility treatments later in life, lifetime commitment​

​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Legal when prescribed by a physician
• Can restore energy, libido, mood, and body composition for men with actually low T
• More stable hormone levels than cycling on/off steroids
• Medical supervision reduces health risks
• May improve facial appearance through reduced facial fat and better skin/muscle tone
• Less side effects than steroid cycles when properly managed

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Increasingly difficult to get prescribed unless truly hypogonadal
• Clinics often require "in range" levels (450-600 ng/dL) even if you feel symptoms
• Lifetime commitment - once on, most men never come off
• Natural testosterone production shuts down completely
• Causes infertility in most men without additional drugs (hCG, HMG)
• Still requires injections (typically 1-2 times weekly)
• Most men need additional medications to control estrogen side effects

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

Most guys eye TRT as a "safe" entry into hormone manipulation, but here's the realitypill: legitimate TRT is getting harder to get approved unless you're actually hypogonadal (under 300 ng/dL consistently). Most clinics will reject young guys unless they've exhausted all other options first.

The looksmaxing benefits are massively overhyped. If you're truly low T, getting to normal levels might make you feel better and lose some face bloat, but it's not transformative. If your T levels are already normal (400-700 ng/dL), TRT will shut down your natural production just to replace it with the same levels artificially - a net neutral change with added risks.

The reality: many young guys claiming "TRT" are actually running mini steroid cycles (250-300mg/week), not true replacement therapy (100-150mg/week), then wondering why they get side effects. If you're considering TRT primarily for face gains, you're chasing a fantasy. Medical professionals laugh at the guys asking for T scripts while listing off aesthetic complaints.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH):
View attachment 3673640
A peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration. Unlike testosterone, HGH must be injected daily or multiple times daily, typically subcutaneously. It's not technically an anabolic steroid but works synergistically with them.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

Pharmaceutical grade: $300-600/month for effective doses (4-6 IU daily minimum)​

Generic Chinese: $100-300/month (quality extremely variable)​

Hidden costs: Insulin syringes, blood glucose monitoring, insulin (for advanced users)​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Improved skin quality and collagen production
• Enhanced fat loss, particularly in stubborn areas
  Better sleep quality for many users
• Potential for some bone growth in jaw/face if growth plates aren't completely fused
• Synergistic effect when combined with testosterone

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Extremely expensive for real results
• Most "HGH" sold online is fake or severely underdosed
• Side effects include water retention, carpal tunnel syndrome, insulin resistance
• Potential for organ growth including heart (enlarged heart = health problems)
• Takes months of consistent use to see noticeable benefits
• Daily injections required indefinitely
• High doses (10+ IU daily) for prolonged periods can cause acromegaly-like features: enlarged jaw, nose growth, prominent brow/forehead, enlarged hands/feet, and coarse facial features
• These acromegaly changes are often permanent and can become disfiguring rather than aesthetic

Reality Level:

Spoiler: Reality Level

The ultimate rich guy PED. Unless you've got thousands to blow monthly, real pharma GH is out of your reach. That Chinese generic you're buying? Probably just peptides or severely underdosed. The "face transformation" effects require years of high-dose use that would cost more than most surgical procedures.

The acromegaly truth: Those "bone mass gain" you're chasing can quickly turn into disfiguring changes if you push doses too high. What starts as "masculine features" can end as "monster face" - look at pro bodybuilders who've abused GH for decades. Their enlarged features aren't aesthetic; they're medical symptoms.

Most looksmaxers talking about "GH bone mass gains" have never actually run it themselves or are using such low doses that the facial effects are minimal. The sweet spot between "enough to change your face" and "so much you look deformed" is extremely narrow and impossible to control precisely.

The realitypill: HGH is a hail mary that costs more than surgery with less predictable results.

DHT Derivatives (Masteron, Proviron, etc.):
View attachment 3673915
A class of steroids derived from dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for many male characteristics. Popular varieties include Masteron (drostanolone), Proviron (mesterolone), and Primobolan (methenolone). Known for producing dry, hard physiques with minimal water retention.​

View attachment 3658646 Price:

Masteron: $50-120/month​

Proviron: $30-70/month​

Primobolan: $150-300/month (one of the most expensive)​

Hidden costs: Hair loss treatments, lipid support supplements​

​

View attachment 3658646 Pros:

• Muscle hardening and dry appearance
• Potential facial masculinization through androgenic effects
• Reduced water retention compared to other compounds
• Some (like Proviron) can help with libido/erectile issues on cycle
• Often lower side effect profile than harsher compounds

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Absolutely devastating to hairlines - if you're prone to MPB, say goodbye
• Can crash HDL (good cholesterol) and elevate LDL (bad cholesterol)
• Modest muscle building effects compared to stronger compounds
• Most require injectable testosterone base anyway
• Often faked due to their popularity and price

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

DHT derivatives are the "pretty boy" PEDs that many looksmaxers gravitate toward for their "face gains" potential. Here's the brutal truth: if you're past 20, your facial bone structure ain't changing from drugs. What you'll get is slightly less facial water retention and maybe more visible jawline IF you're already lean. What you'll definitely get is an accelerated baldness timeline if you have those genes. The risk-to-reward ratio for purely cosmetic purposes is terrible.

Synthetic anabolic steroids designed to be taken orally rather than injected. Modified with an alkylation at the 17th carbon position to survive liver metabolism. Common varieties include Anavar (oxandrolone), Winstrol (stanozolol), Dianabol (methandrostenolone), and Anadrol (oxymetholone).​

• Convenience of oral administration (no injections)
• Rapid strength gains, particularly with Dianabol and Anadrol
• Some (like Anavar) considered "milder" with fewer side effects
• Fast-acting results visible within weeks
• Can temporarily enhance facial definition through glycogen loading and water manipulation

View attachment 3658646 Cons:

• Extremely liver toxic - enzyme values can skyrocket
• Should never be run more than 6-8 weeks consecutively
• Terrible impact on cholesterol/lipid profiles
• Most require injectable test base anyway to prevent hormonal crash
• Often faked or underdosed due to popularity and cost
• Can cause significant water retention (Dianabol, Anadrol)

Reality Level:

Spoiler: reality level

Oral steroids are the "gateway drug" of the PED world due to needle phobia. They're also the most likely to fuck up your health in the shortest time. That "mild" Anavar you think you're taking? Probably Winstrol or underdosed. That temporary facial definition from Winstrol? Just temporary drying effect that disappears when you stop. The reality is that orals alone will give you minimal lasting benefits while potentially causing permanent liver strain.

If you're considering tren as a looksmaxing strategy, you've gone too deep into the rabbit hole. This is one of the harshest compounds available that even experienced bodybuilders approach with caution. The mental side effects alone have ended relationships, careers, and lives. The facial "benefits" are temporary and not worth the permanent damage to your health.
