Surgical methods for shortening the nose (midface)?

[meltmylungs_]

As I understand it, a nose can't be shortened only when it's an anatomical feature, not when it's caused by downward growth. My understanding is this: a nose that's an anatomical feature can't be shortened because the soft tissues (cartilage, nasal skin) are designed to be long, and their volume for a given person is designed to be long, even with a correct bite. But if the nose is long due to recession, the soft tissues and cartilage are "stretched," so by surgically shortening the upper jaw with a high LF1 incision, the nose is "pulled" toward the piriformis opening, effectively becoming shorter?

i dont think the nasal cavity is ever touched (and subsequently shortened) or can be by any LF procedure we have atm. the only shortening you can receive is through a rhino, if your tip's droopy, or by means of an invasive LF which brings it forward, though it would be an illusion of shortening due to fwd growth and not a true shortening of the cavity and zygomatic area.

the video you linked is for gummy smiles, useful for the downgrown who suffer from it but the nose is unaffected from just the impaction LF1 that entails

Do you understand the mechanisms of bone changes under pressure, or do you know people who do? I really need your help.
