After corrective double jaw surgery, I’m unhappy with my nose changes. My nostrils have widened and are more visible then before. I also feel like my nose has shortened. When I smile my nose turns up and my nostrils are visible which make me look like I have a “piggy nose.” Before jaw surgery I had a small Asian nose. Can rhinoplasty restore my old nose or create more harmony to my face?

Answer: Rhinoplasty After Jaw Surgery Hello, hope you are well. Alarplasty can help reduce the nostril width and flaring, and the shape of the nose can be changed with rhinoplasty to change the position of the tip, create more length, and reduce excessive nostril show. Without seeing your face with photos or in-person, it's impossible to comment on your case specifically, but I would encourage you to have an in-person consultation with a rhinoplasty surgeon to discuss further. Best,Dr. Tower

Answer: Rhinoplasty It sounds like you could benefit from a rhinoplasty. Without seeing your current nose, and photos of what you’d like it to return to, it’s impossible for anyone to tell you if it’s achievable. I recommend seeking out a board certified plastic surgeon to help you. If you would like to be seen by my office, feel free to reach out for a consultation. Smith Plastic Surgery 702-838-2455
