I have a pretty large overbite. Im getting surgery to correct this. They are moving my lower jaw foward. So I don't think I could get a chin implant yet. Would I benefit from rhinoplasty before jaw surgery? Would this make a significant difference in my apperance?
Answer: Yes, You're a Good Rhinoplasty Candidate Thanks for your question. The jaw surgery will help your facial proportions a great deal. If they are not moving the maxilla (the upper jaw), but only the lower jaw, then the nose will not be changed by the jaw surgery. However, in order to make an optimal assessment of nasal projection in relationship to your face, I would suggest doing the rhinoplasty after. I would talk to your jaw surgeon about the chin projection, which could also be addressed at the time of jaw surgery. Overall, I think you would be an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty. The curved nasal profile is one of the more common indications that leads patients into rhinoplasty, and patient satisfaction is very high. Best of luck!

Answer: Rhinoplasty and jaw surgery I have seen this combination often. You should definitely have your jay surgery done first. After your jaws are ripely aligned, it will be easier to plan for the rhinoplasty. Good luck!

Answer: Rhino after jaw surgery You would definitely benefit from rhinoplasty. However, I would recommend you wait until your jaw surgery is done before you seek advice from a rhinoplasty doctor.

Answer: Rhinoplasty or jaw surgery first? Most patients would do the jaw surgery first but it really makes no difference which comes first. Do the one that bothers you the most first and the other after. See a surgeon who does los is that you like based on his actual work and not imaging.
