i would make this super high effort but i cba. heres the fracture line, ill explain the rest below
for a month leading up to the surgery, the patient would be mandated to perform masster stretching and loosening exercises in order to accomodate for the new length of the masseter muscle after the surgery. on the day of the surgery, an intense muscle relaxant would be topically administered to the masseter to allow for maximum stretching during the procedure. the surgeon would cut the bone around the muscle insertion and bring the bone down by the desired amount similar to how a genioplasty works. a metal plat with screws would be installed until the patient makes a full recovery, and chewing would be avoided all together for the first few weeks.
this is a - in my opinion - better option than gonial implants as the masseter would still insert at the bottom of the ramus, making it indistinguishable from a naturally well developed jaw. the function benefits would include better chewing leverages, and cosmetically the patient would reap the benefits of a tighter hyoid, longer ramus, and potenitally more flared gonions depending on how the disconnected piece is reattatched by the surgeon.
lmk what you think, idk why this doesnt exist as it doesnt seem too complicated compared to something like a lefort and yeah the recovery would be annoying but gonions can make or break a face so imo its worth it.
