As the title says, I'm interested in knowing, since there is barely any information about it on the internet, whether it's possible to reduce the distance between the lips and the eyes (I guess that includes shortening the nose) in someone who has a regular, normal bite. My face is long and narrow, but my biggest concern is that my eyes, alongside of being small as f**k, are also close set, meaning I've got close set eyes and a long nose/midface which makes me look ridiculous. Though the biggest issue is that the info on fixing this horror is so scarce, it makes me believe it's impossible to do.
The info I have been able to find though, the responses of surgeons (namely Barry Eppley) on RealSelf, suggest that receiving a maxillary impaction when the bite is good, risks burying the teeth behind the upper lip. Taking into consideration my upper teeth already don't show up when my mouth is in a resting position (when I open up my mouth) suggests that this is mission impossible.
Close set eyes, paired with a long nose/midface length, and a lot of bone space next to the eyes since they're close set is a suicidal combination that guarantees depression and seppuk* before 25. I'm 22.
