A bimaxillary osteotomy ("bimax") moves upper jaw (LeFort I) and lower jaw (bilateral sagittal split, BSSO) to treat bite, airway, and sometimes aesthetics.[1] Looksmaxxing calls large forward movements "BAX" / "imPACT" style when rotation is added. It is orthognathic surgery for a reason: orthodontics, airway, bite. Doing it "for looks only" at a mill is how people get a worse face and a worse bite.
Forum patient logs (e.g. long looksmax.org surgery diaries) describe bimax for sleep apnea with a bad aesthetic, then more implants to chase definition. That cascade is the lesson: bone surgery is not a filter.
This wiki does not instruct osteotomies.
The destination names the forums already treated as proper nouns, per GQ (2023): Federico Hernández Alfaro / Instituto Maxilofacial (Barcelona Line), Mirco Raffaini, Hermann Sailer, Paul Coceancig. Korea’s institutional male two-jaw brand is ID Hospital (83°, “keep masculinity”). US airway/aesthetic overlap in one published log: Sam Bobek.

Nerve injury, malocclusion, and revision are why OMS exists. Forum “LeFort plus wraparound in Turkey next month” is surgical pitfalls talk.
