I have an open bite as well as a cross bite and an underdeveloped top jaw. For this, I will need extensive orthodontics followed by surgery, but currently cannot afford this. I also desperately want a nose job, and can afford that at this time. My question is: Would it be better to wait until after my jaw surgery to get a rhinoplasty? Or would it be safe to go ahead with the nose job now so I can gain confidence while saving for my jaw procedure? Thank you for any advice!!!
