Is jaw surgery not an option because of my vertical maxillary excess (VME) but class 1 bite?

A doctor said I am not an orthodontic case. What do I do? A doctor concluded my case wasn't an orthodontic one due to my normal bite, but he also said I have a flat, retruded maxilla, which is aesthetically displeasing for my face. VME, 0 cheek projection, narrow palate, etc. I want to do something about my face, but I'm so lost.
