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: Rhinoplasty Timing and Braces It shouldn't make a large difference unless you will be having major dental movement or moving your jaws (orthognathic surgery). In that case it makes more sense to have your rhinoplasty surgery afterwards.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and braces. Rhinoplasty can be performed at any point during routine orthodontic treatment. Correction of severe over- or underbites, however, can change the appearance of the upper lip and lip-columella relationship. In these uncommon cases, it is best to wait until after orthodontic treatment with braces is complete.

Answer: Timing of braces and rhinoplasty The question of the best timing for braces really depends on your specific anatomy, rhinoplasty goals and plan with your braces.Your orthodontist would likely be able to give you a better idea of how much of an external facial change to expect after your orthodontic treatment.I suspect that your rhinoplasty surgeon would be able to take these factors into account when planning and performing your surgery. If you're unsure you could always wait to have nose surgery until after your braces are off just to be safe.

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.
