Well I was thinking my upper jaw is too long but its not. I just loomed in the mirror.

Problem is long midface and nose.  I've gotten used to it and I tend to like it in men sometimes

Short noses to me in men look awful.

I have a longish midface, as well, I think. lol. A long midface is not unattractive. It depends on how everything else is put together, IMO.

Tdawg, what disease were you referring to?

Purely in terms of aesthetics, and assuming no anatomic barriers, do you personally think this guy would benefit from maxillary advancement?

Late reply here, but I believe that he would, although maxillary movement would likely be modest either way.

Of course, I am biased as I do prefer more pronounced MMC in general, perhaps because my own is somewhat retracted, but that is neither here nor there...

Clueless here. What is an MMC?

I posted a link asking for opinions on somebody with a severely retruded mandible, from a popular youtube video. Then I found speculation he might be diseased so I took it down and instead put the post you saw as I felt it would be in bad taste.

It isnt confirmed he had a disease, just speculated but I still felt it was in bad taste. If you are still curious though youtube "sodahead"

Thanks. I thought that you were referring to the guy posted upthread. I will check out youtube.

How did this guy's nose shorten so much? It looks like he had upper jaw advancement.

I see a slight dorsal shave and upper advancement that upturned the nose. Not sure if he had the nose tip refined, though. It sort of looks like he did. The nasal flare looks untouched. Looks good.
