Can you shorten the midface? (and more) (Photo)

snolax555Aug 23, 2024
I was wondering if I could shorten my mid face through surgery (if that's possible?) considering I have a narrow jaw and a very long face, I want to widen it (and shorten it), doing this is was thinking about a gonial jaw implant (because I have a short ramus).
