Rhinoplasty before orthagnathic/jaw surgery?

October 27, 2015
Asked By:MartinExcel123 in Los Angeles, CA

I have a very wide, lopsided face with crooked teeth. I also have something of an underbite with a receded maxilla in the front. I want to get nasal augmentation and correct a deviated septum but worry if I get jaw surgery to reduce or straighten my jaw, there will be serious consequences for my nose and breathing. Do I have to choose between rhinoplasty or jaw surgery? Does the answer different if I only get a jawbone reduction, without osteotomies to move my jaw?
