Do You Suggest Orthognathic Surgery or Rhinoplasty To Enhane My Profile? Or Both? (photo)

Rhinoplasty and/or rhinoplasty
If is difficult to diagnose your skeletal anatomy without a radiograph. From your photos you may require surgery in both the maxilla and mandible. This would correct your bite and improve your profile. This should be done prior to a rhinoplasty since the nasal form will change with the orthognathic surgery. Donald R.
