In this episode, we explore his case with insights from other surgeons.

    #94 – Anthony G. – Powerlifter Ascends with MARPE, Opines on Clavicular

    Anthony Grigoryan is a 22-year-old powerlifter who could deadlift 600lbs but couldn't breathe through his nose. Despite having a six-pack and elite lifting numbers, he felt lethargic, congested, and held back—until he got an 8-screw custom MARPE from Dr. Audrey Yoon. In this episode, he breaks down his transformation, showing CT scans, before/after photos, and explaining how fixing his airway changed everything from his energy to his face structure. We dive deep into the looksmaxxing phenomenon, discussing Clavicular's influence, and when looksmaxxing goes too far. He also shares his plans for double jaw surgery with Dr. Tehrany through Kaiser, getting stabbed and paradoxically feeling the healthiest ever, and why gym bros with breathing issues need to hear this perspective.

In this podcast, Dr. Manuele delivers unique, never-before-seen visual demonstrations showing key differences between FME, Custom MARPE, and MSE, which are 3 top skeletal expander brands.
