Can I have Rhinoplasty before jaw correction?

July 23, 2014
Asked By:infoseeker09 in Philadelphia, PA

I may be having jaw surgery that will alter my profile. However, I don't know when or if this will definitely happen. In the meantime, I am very unhappy with my nose. I have wanted rhinoplasty for a long time. I realize that the nose can be sculpted to better fit the profile but jaw surgery is not as flexible. It may be a year or more before I know if I can have the jaw surgery, due to some other issues. Can I have rhinoplasty first?
