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!
Answer: Braces and Rhinoplasty, No Correlation Having braces before, during, or after a rhinoplasty will have no effect on the results of your nose job. Still, you should be mentally prepared and know that getting braces around the same time of the date of your surgery may be uncomfortable. Soreness in the mouth is very common as your mouth is adjusting to the feeling of having braces inserted, and adding the discomfort of a rhinoplasty recovery to the mix may be quite much. It may be better to space out the two cosmetic treatments by at least two weeks. Besides this, there is no major concern with having braces at the time of your rhinoplasty.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and braces It is certainly acceptable to undergo a rhinoplasty before, during, or after orthodontic braces. We perform many rhinoplasties when patients are in the middle of their orthodontic treatment.
