Chadmaxx Score: How to Get a Higher Face Rating (Without a $90 Cart)

What the Chadmaxx Score Is in South Park

In South Park's "You Like That On Your Face" (October 14, 2026), the fictional Chadmaxx app scores selfies out of 10. Stan gets a 4.2 and is told to buy about $90 of skincare. Randy gets a 3.6. Ike's aura-battle rival has a perfect score. The joke is a Chadmaxx score that exists mainly to sell the fix.

Real face-rating apps are not that cynical by default, but they share one property with the parody: the number is an estimate from a single photo. Before trying to raise it, it helps to know what moves it.

What a Real Chadmaxx-Style Score Measures

• Proportions: ratios between facial landmarks, such as face width to height or eye spacing.
• Jawline and chin definition: how clearly the lower face edge is detected.
• Facial leanness: how much soft tissue or puffiness the photo shows.
• Symmetry: left-right balance, which head tilt changes easily.
• Skin and eye area: evenness, dark circles and how rested you look.

Several of these depend more on the photo than on your face. Our guide to why face rating scores change shows how much.

How to Get a Higher Chadmaxx Score Today: Fix the Photo

1. Face a window or use soft, even light. Hard overhead light deepens shadows under the eyes and jaw.
2. Hold the camera at eye level and at arm's length or more. Close front cameras widen the nose and soften the jaw.
3. Keep your head level and your chin slightly forward, not tucked down.
4. Use a neutral face and a relaxed jaw.
5. Turn off beauty filters and portrait effects so the app sees a real face.

This is not cheating. It removes noise so the score reflects your face instead of your camera.

How to Raise Your Score Over Weeks: Fix What Is Reversible

• Depuff: less salt and alcohol the night before, enough water, and sleep. Morning puffiness hides jaw definition.
• Posture: forward-head posture shortens the neck line and blurs the jaw in profile.
• Grooming: a haircut and beard shape that suit your face shape often change a photo more than anything else.
• Skin: cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen, used daily. You do not need a $90 cart.
• Body composition: overall fat loss shows in the face over months; you cannot spot-reduce it.

This is what Maxilla is built around: a guided face scan that feeds a daily plan for jawline and mewing, morning depuff, posture, skin and body, with rescans to see what moved. It is not connected to South Park.

What Will Not Raise Your Score

• Clenching or aggressive jaw exercises. Stop anything that causes pain, clicking or locking, and see a professional if it continues (NIDCR on jaw disorders).
• Scanning twenty times and keeping the best result.
• Comparing numbers across different apps; each uses its own model and scale.
• Buying products because an app told you your score was low.

Bottom Line

South Park's Chadmaxx score is satire about apps that rate you and then sell to you. A real score is most useful as a consistent reference: same photo setup, sensible habits, rescans every week or two. If you want that in one place, try Maxilla, or compare the best real Chadmaxx alternatives.
