Can a long midface without a gummy smile be shortened? (Photo)

Anonymous1233Jun 19, 2020
I am very interested in changing my mid face ratio (interpupillary distance/vertical distance between pupils and upper lip), because I have a long mid face, even if I do not present a "gummy smile". In my case, my mouth protrudes, but my teeth are not misalligned. Can orthognathic surgery help me?

Should be relatively easy- I would use any of the amazing fillers that we have such as Kysse, Volbella etc. Which one depends on a variety of factors including how much one needs to use and how thick and mobile the area skin is.
