Is there a way to make my midface shorter? Considering chin reduction and sliding osteotomy. Advice? (photo)

Asked By:lilacmegan in Atlanta, GA

My face is very long and I’m considering chin reduction and a sliding osteotomy(?) but I think the problem lies more within my mid face than lower face. Is there something that can be done to make that smaller as well ?
