Can a Palate Expander Expand Nasal Bones After Rhinoplasty?

Scottish25
I'm probably having a rhinoplasty 2 months before a palate expander. (SARPE). I'm wondering if this could be a bad combination. The nasal bones will be broken in rhinoplasty. Can the palate expander expand the fracture of the nasal bones in an undesirable way? Should there be more time inbetween?
