one more question; looking to see if my masseter muscles are considered low set or high set? I’m not an expert at this stuff. trying to see if I could improve my profile by working on hypertrophy w masseters. but don’t want to get that typical bloated look (say they’re high set)

You really need to shrink/atrophy your masseter, its disproportianate, literally as wide as your cheeckbones
Reference for mandible width is about 90-95% width of your cheekbones
Everyones masseter attaches to the same bones of your skull
Meaning how your masseter sits depends on your bone structure, youd need to show side too
Ramus length, gonion, gonion length, mandible length etc

You have insane forward growth. HTN+ Side.
Do get rid od your acne though
Over hypertrophied masseterd look like shit
Further clenching and perma jutting will ir might give you CMD/problem eith your TM Joint, which are a hell to get rid of
Definetly try to atrophy them

Marpe? Idk lens distortion, dont forget.
Measure the ratio between nose and lip length, and see how far from a ratio of 1.4

lens distortion for sure a thing yeah but when I look better I instantly see it too. cortisol could be ruining my face and yeah - want to do marpe / mse in a couple months, my maxilla is narrow always has been. I’m 20 so I feel like I could potentially get 6-8mm extra

agreed they do be short. I’ve seen that marpe can widen the lips also in rest position, feel like it can make a pretty great difference, also training the tissue etc. they never really had to be wide cuz I’ve had a small maxilla since birth yk? it all adapts and is connected. that’s how I feel about it
