I dont know if im 100% correct:
Long midface = low fwhr
Long face = low fwhr + very high bizygomatic to bigonial width ratio

 

[Whatever]

The real difference is long face versus tall face. Long faces are actually not tall enough in the back, the posterior maxilla is recessed and the jaws grew downwards, whereas tall faces have sufficient growth but in a more vertical orientation. The easiest way to tell is that long faces have high gonial angles, tall faces have long ramus.

So long face is worse then long midface?

long midface is your mfr
long face is usually all your facial thirds are long (upper third, middle third, and lower third)

can you send a example photo of a long face and a long midface if you can?

the midface is the vertical span from the middle of the eyebrows to the upper lip, the middle third. a long midface could be identified by a LOW MFR (midface ratio = eye distance/midface length) or a LOW FWHR (face width to height ratio = bizygomatic width/midface length). a long total face, however, is a face with a high TFWHR (total face width to height ratio = total facial length (hairline to chin lowest point) divided by the bizygomatic width)

long face (all facial thirds are long)

long midface (only his mfr is long)

when you see a man with a face not too tall but his middle too elongated its a long midface.
if you see a man with ALL the thirds too long, so chin and philtrum, midface, maybe the forehead, he has a long TOTAL FACE
