People don't talk about LeFort II very often, but I think it's the best LeFort. Other than seriously deformed people, who really needs LeFort III? Your typical case of "recessed maxilla" can be fixed with a LeFort II at most.
Additionally, LeFort II is the way to go for East Asians. LeFort I isn't good for Asians because they have flat nose bridges, so it just makes them look prognathic. LeFort III advances the cheekbones, which are already forward in Asian faces, so that procedure wouldn't fix the typical Asian flat face. Lefort II makes Asian skulls closer to Caucasian by moving the nose bridge and midface forward without the cheekbones.
