Should I get braces before or after rhinoplasty?

October 15, 2014
Asked By:asiangurl19 in Los Angeles, CA

I'm scheduled for an asian rhinoplasty on December & contemplating on getting braces sometime around November. I have a very bad overbite with a little crossbite, as well as overcrowded crooked teeth. My question is shoulg I get braces before or after rhinoplasty? Worried that if I get nose done first & then braces after my face shape may change & may not suit with the newly altered nose. And if I get braces before, my lips would look more prominent & may affect design of rhinoplasty. Help!
