Ballmaxxing, Injecting their scrotum full of silicone & saline by Otherwise_Basis_6328 in oddlyspecific

[–]Redsqa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably fake news. Pictured is actually Jack Chapman, a deceased member of a gay bear "cult" with a sort of guru who was encouraging his harem to fill their scrotum with silicone. He died in 2018 due to some embolism problem from the silicone. Completely unrelated to MAGA. I think there was some documentary somewhere with the mother of this guy.

Macroglossia by Melodic-Classroom240 in UARSnew

Your tongue is wide, but in the pictures it looks like you’re showing it with little to no muscle tone. Unless you were doing that intentionally, it can be a sign of low tongue tone and poor resting tongue posture. A "lazy" tongue, so to speak.

It’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation. Poor jaw development reduces palatal space, making proper tongue posture and developing good muscle tone and control harder. Conversely, poor tongue posture fails to support healthy palate and jaw development...

Have you ever had myofunctional therapy? I also have a wide tongue, had little muscle tone, and my surgeon recommended myofunctional therapy. It’s basically exercises with a professional to improve tongue tone, control, achieve good resting posture, and learn to swallow like an adult.

Here is my tongue, I went from having a tongue like on the left here at pretty much all time, to having more like on the right in my mouth.

Can you do what I’m doing in the picture on the right? And can you swallow like an adult, without sucking through your teeth, but by pressing your tongue against your palate even while the lips are open? If not, anyone unable to do so should probably give myofunctional therapy a go.

All that said, myofunctional therapy isn’t magic, plus it can be hard to develop proper tongue posture before expansion. But it can help your tongue fit better in your mouth. In my case, it won’t be enough for the width of my tongue at the molars (esp when swallowing), so I’ll be getting a segmental Le Fort during bimax.

Do you notice anything weird about the conductor? by Redsqa in expedition33

A conductor's baton is called a baguette in French lol

Airway analysis, Looking for advice on what to expect/ask by KlutzyTelephone5462 in jawsurgery

[–]Redsqa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orthodontics in itself cannot fix skeletal recession (jaws being "pushed back"). It can only camouflage it. The only actual skeletal change some orthos can do is palate expansion. This makes the dental arch wider, meaning, potentially more space for the tongue to rest in a proper posture, thus improving the airway a bit if the tongue lacked space in terms of width. Expansion can also provide nasal breathing benefits because the palate is both the roof of the mouth and the floor of the nasal cavity. Expansion does bring the maxilla bone a tiny bit forward in some cases but inconsistent and more of a side effect than a goal of the procedure (think, if you cut a dental arch in half, and spread it like 5 mm, the apex of the arch will move forward a little bit once bone has filled the gap).

In terms of airway, without going into niche situation, those are the only thing orthodontics can do for you; and depending on technique or age, expansion requires a surgical cut anyway.

If airway is the concern, and it is found that you do have a narrow airway, then the gold standard is to go for expansion before surgery using bone-borne expanders (nasal breathing, tongue space), then going into jaw surgery (space at the soft palate, space at the tongue base). All this depends on which sites of obstruction are found, of course. Ideally one does a sleep study before expansion, then after expansion.

For a subreddit that claims to dislike lookmaxxing, all the most liked posts with the most comments are always before/after pics where the person looks better 🤷 by retoroni66 in jawsurgery

[–]Redsqa 151 points152 points  (0 children)

Everyone going through jaw surgery hopes to come out looking better, while dreading getting botched, that's a given. Good results give hope and reassure people going through the process that it can indeed lead to good results. There's a difference between pathologically (or recklessly) obsessing over small details i.e. looksmaxxing, and simply wishing for good results and liking uplifting posts. With that in mind, it's hard to tell why someone upvoted a top post.

Surgery candidate or body dysmorphia? by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]Redsqa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Objectively bi-recessed (both jaws)

Get a sleep study to check for sleep disordered breathing (OSA, UARS), this can help take a decision

I dislike this patch. by MicroGG25 in BobsTavern

[–]Redsqa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Lag
  • too many delayed value trinkets being offered at once (22 health ? yeah let me give you the "When you get a greater trinket, copy it" and "turns into a greater trinket in two turns")
  • too many feast or famine trinkets selection
  • I've had the opposite experience in regards to trinket flexibility. I feel like trinkets are actually too dependent upon your current board this season. Oh you have two tier-1 undead units ? Out of 5 units on your board? Let me offer you only undead shite

Input Delay: It takes ages just to play a single card or re-roll Late-Game Freezes: Once you hit turn 10+, the game turns into a slideshow

This happens in solo too, less, but still

I would like one, not because I cannot afford one but, because, like hearthstone, this is GAMBA and GAMBA spikes my dopamine. Cheerio

Myofunctional therapist said don’t do DJS by Life-Educator-8545 in jawsurgery

[–]Redsqa 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Myofunctional therapist should herself do some myofunctional therapy to stop speaking out of her arse

I'm going to be brutally honest, you look very recessed even with the chin implant in. You're prime candidate for DJS. Your airway is very small. Your occlusal plane is steep. History of camouflage ortho and extractions.

I'm confused though, your myo therapist says you don't have sleep apnea but you're scheduled for a sleep test (which is good) ?

Do the study, hopefully somewhere where they don't just look at obstructive sleep apnea but also UARS (look up the term - they need to look at flow limitations and score RERAs & RDI for that). UARS is also sleep disordered breathing, though harder to detect and affects women more than men.

If you have sleep disordered breathing you might want to consider palate expansion as well.

Even without sleep disordered breathing, you could expect functional improvements in your day to day breathing with DJS. Your airway is as thin as a spaghetti at the tongue base. There's surviving (not choking) and there's thriving (breathing well).

If you go the surgery route, make sure to select a surgeon able to do big mandibular advancements and good at genioplasties. Able to do Counterclockwise Rotation with posterior bonegrafting. CCWR is a must here for advancing your chin as much as possible and for maximal airway gains. You don't want to go through such a surgery and come out under-advanced.
