Not Medical, Mental Health, or Professional Advice
Content on this site is general commentary on appearance, fitness, mental wellbeing, and male self-improvement. It is not medical advice, psychological advice, dental or orthodontic advice, surgical guidance, prescribing information, or diagnostic material. We are not licensed medical or mental-health professionals. Always seek the advice of your physician, dermatologist, dentist, surgeon, therapist, or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, mental-health concern, or cosmetic procedure. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this site.
No Doctor-Patient Relationship
Use of this website, including any interactive tools (such as the looksmaxxing score calculator), does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or any other professional relationship. The content provided is general in nature, may not be current, and may not apply to your specific circumstances. We do not provide individualized medical advice through any communication channel.
Cosmetic and Surgical Procedures
Any discussion of cosmetic, surgical, dental, or dermatological procedures (rhinoplasty, jaw surgery, hair transplants, fillers, Botox, bone-related procedures, orthotropic appliances, hardmaxxing techniques, and any procedure mentioned by name or category) is for informational and journalistic purposes only. All such procedures carry real risks including but not limited to:
- Surgical complications: infection, hematoma, scarring, nerve damage, asymmetric or irregular healing.
- Anesthesia-related risks including reactions and complications.
- Cosmetic outcomes that differ from expectations or images shown on this site.
- Need for revision surgery, additional procedures, or correction of unintended outcomes.
- Long-term effects that may not be immediately apparent.
- Psychological adjustment difficulties including dysphoria, regret, and impacts on body image.
Consult with a board-certified, licensed surgeon, dermatologist, or relevant medical professional before considering any procedure. Verify credentials independently. Request portfolios of similar cases. Get multiple opinions. Be especially cautious of clinics with high-volume, low-cost models or aggressive marketing.
Disputed and Unverified Techniques
Several techniques discussed in the looksmaxxing community — including but not limited to bonesmashing, mewing, certain supplement protocols, jaw exercise tools, and various non-evidence-based practices — are either disputed by mainstream medical science, lack robust clinical evidence, or carry documented risks. We label disputed content where applicable, but the absence of a label does not constitute endorsement.
Bonesmashing in particular carries serious documented risks including facial fractures, nerve damage, dental damage, chronic inflammation, and potential cumulative effects of repeated head trauma. We do not recommend bonesmashing under any circumstances and discuss it only to inform readers of the associated risks.
