Rhinoplasty After Maxillary Advancement? (photo)

October 9, 2012
Asked By:AmeliaPond

My maxilla was moved forward 6mm to open my airway for apnea purposes. Unfortunately, this movement broadened my nose tip and nostril base quite a bit. I have not had any work done on the nose directly. My surgeon suggested the services of an ENT to fix the look of it, but I am skeptical. Would it be posible to narrow the boney base where the nostril inserts at the cheek, or is this done only for the mid-vault? What should I ask in a consultation to get the best array of options?
