I don't know about that...I mean his rhinoplasty. I read your thread on mid-face shortening and found it very interesting. This is something I have been studying for a long time, long before I saw your thread. Notice how this guy's upper lip was elongated dramatically post-op - look at the profile pic especially. Nowadays the really good rhinoplasty specialists consider this as a sign of bad rhinoplasty. I understand why most people we'll disagree with me on this, but to me he looks better pre-op overall. His cheeks were fine before, flat, which is a very desirable quality in men. After surgery, I think his soft tissue changed somewhat unfavorably, and the tear troughs combined with his much longer upper lip almost offsets the aesthetic benefits of the jaw surgery. Besides, honestly, I think his nose was fine before surgery. Strong, masculine nose, even if not perfectly straight. Go to Paris on a men's fashion show, and you'll see so many fashion models with that or similar type of nose. I'm not saying they are the norm, far from it, but you'll see this type of nose on some very beautiful men. We're not in the 1980s anymore, aesthetic has changed for male noses (and female as well).
His face looked wider and more masculine before as well. It's almost like he had reduction malar osteotomy, and not augmentation. His nasolabial folds improved though, because of the forward movement of the upper jaw, I guess.
Who was the doctor in this case? By the way, who's Bailey?
And by all means guys, please post other pictures of malar osteotomy. I have been thinking about it as they told me it's a simple 20-min procedure and will not take the surgeon's attention away from my jaw, but this is the first and only case I've seen. Of course, if grafts are used, then it will take longer...And I was told recovery is simple. So if it adds 20 minutes to my jaw surgery, I may be willing to do it. But not before I see any picture evidence that it is worth it.
