Answer: Better to do jaw surgery first
Although the 2 procedures may be combined (and often are) doing the rhinoplasty after the jaw surgery offers a greater chance for fine-tuning of the results and reduced the risk of airway complications.

Answer: Healing is Related to Blood Supply As other posters have noted, a LeFort I procedure in the same setting as a Rhinoplasty is probably not advisable. The primary reason is disruption in blood supply and potential loss of support for the nose.

Answer: Orthognathic surgery and rhinoplasty It would be best to have each procedure performed separately, as bite correction and rhinoplasty may both be complex surgeries depending on your individual needs. It may be best to have the bite correction taken care of first, as orthognathic surgery can change the movement of the nose. Hope this helps answer your question. Thank you and best of luck to you.

Answer: ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY AT THE SAME TIME AS RHINOPLASTY I typically do not recommend having two facial procedures together if they both alter the structural foundation of the face. Rhinoplasties and orthognathic surgeries physically alter the boney structures of the lower face and so changing one will have an effect on the other. I recommend patients who are interested in improving their nose and their jaw line to have the orthognathic procedure first with the rhinoplasty 6 months later. Be sure to research only board certified oral maxillofacial surgeons. It would also be helpful to find a surgeon who is board certified in both oral maxillofacial and plastic surgery.Be well and good luck!@norrisplastic
