According to this study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5328863/), a surgery has been devised for non-syndromic patients with midfacial hypoplastia and vertical maxillary excess. But it claims it doesn't affect the nasal bones, and looking at the before-afters, sure they do look better, but they had no nasal shortening, and they mostly already had decent facial harmony, considering their midface ratios. I've heard users mention that a lf3 can achieve midface shortening through rotation, so naturally the midface appears shorter now because of the increased angle. Is this only applicable in syndromic patients though?
