@Kagan I was just trying to do some basic measurements a few minutes ago based on eyeballing the changes you made in the morph, and it looks like my jaw angles were each probably dropped by about an inch (or maybe a little less)? Would you say this is roughly correct? The reason I ask is because it looks like they were lowered by way more than 5 mm and 7 mm each, but I could be wrong. Just curious...
I'm sorry but this is getting incredibly tedious because it takes a LOT of TIME for me to
do this stuff. It's even more tedious to explain. I shall try.
When I did your morph, I viewed the implants (from the front) and noted that the base of chin was not dropped vertically. So, I kept that constant. I eyeballed the angle DECREASE to be approx 8-10 deg. decrease. So, on the morph, I eyeballed approx an 8-10 angle decrease.
Now the tedious part was CHECKING that for you via hand held protractor against screen.
I took your before photo and lined it up with the after morph. I measured the degrees from start which was about 45 and degrees from end (on morph) which was about 37 and I got a 8 degree DECREASE.
I then checked the implant diagram and reversed it so the side of the 'good eye' where there was less midface projection was on same side as morph with 'good eye'.
I measured the start angle which was about 34 deg. I measured the end angle which was about 26 deg. The DECREASE was 8 deg.
Low and behold, I find the angle decrease measured on the implant diagram is SAME as that on the morph. 8 degree angle decrease in mandibular border as seen from the FRONT.
That's the best angle approximation I can do with a 'selfie' photo when comparing it to the implant diagram. I look at approximate angle DECREASE from the FRONT and give the morph the same/similar angle decrease from the FRONT.
There are NO 'inches' here. There is NO way to predict 'exactly' what you would look like. But my approximation of about an 8-10 degree angle DECREASE where your morph has an 8 deg angle decrease is consistent with the angle decrease seen on the implant diagram.
That was the METHODOLOGY I used to do the morph APPROXIMATION.
You will NOTE that the VSP (program) used for the implant design isn't even one where it SHOWS YOU a prediction of your (soft tissue) FACE from the front. So, my approximation isn't bad.
Again, the angle DECREASE along the mandibular border as shown on the implant diagram is about 8 degrees. The morph (and mind you after I took extra time to MEASURE my 'eyeball' angle decrease) was ALSO an 8 degree angle decrease along the mandibular border you see from the FRONT.
That's pretty much the LIMIT of what I can do here for you when using a selfie.
I realize that other people can morph you as to provide something that looks good to their EYE and look better to you than this morph. That's fine BUT I'm NOT doing that. So the morph is not MY aesthetic preference for your face. I'm NOT designing your face. What I'm doing (here as to the jaw) is using a METHODOLOGY where I gave the morph the same/similar ANGLE DECREASE from the FRONT that I observed on the implant diagram.
That's the methodology I used. It is SUFFICIENT to illustrate SOMETHING in the VENUE of what MMs have and I've already TOLD you that requests based on wanting a PART that a MM has do NOT necessarily result in the WHOLE 'gestalt' of what the MM has.
What you need is CERTAINTY, an exact prediction of how the jaw implant will look on your face when YOU look in the mirror..or here an exact prediction of what this 'selfie' would look like where the prediction would have to be 'exactly' to YOUR liking. No such certainty can be achieved here and IF it could, the VSP program used by Y would be able to SHOW you the prediction. Not just the implants but HOW your face would look (from the FRONT).
That said, in the absence of the CERTAINTY you need to make a decision where this approximation and methodology used to do the morph does not kick up what's in your MINDS EYE as to what you might like to see INSTEAD, then you would need to RESOLVE the UNCERTAINTY as INDECISION and make a DECISION NOT TO decide to go through with the whole jaw augmentation and that also includes the CHIN that was designed with the REST of the JAW in mind.
If Dr. Y doesn't mind the indecision and FLOUNDERING on a decision, FINE. But if you need a morph where you want a different methodology used to show you what you might want to see on your face, then have HIM do it.
If you've already asked him to SHOW you a prediction of what the implants will look like ON YOUR FACE/photo (because that's what you need to see in order to decide) and he told you; 'Oh, that's just moving around pixels', that would mean what I told you which is that type of CERTAINTY can't be predicted.
All that said, enclosed is the original morph where I used the implants for jaw as basic guide and one with absolutely no consideration or reference to the implant diagram or request to look like Cavill. Instead only what MY eye would like to see.
