Does slight upper jaw advancement in jaw surgery rotate the nose tip upward?

Asked By:Victoria1988 in New York, NY

I have an open bite, but I will also be getting my upper jaw (top row of teeth) moved forward to a small degree if I have surgery. My question is will this push my nose upward and increase the nasolabial angle? That's the only thing I fear because I do not want any change in my nose. Thank you.
