Would a rhinoplasty help balance my face?

Thanks melaniiie for your question! After a major treatment like double jaw surgery, it's quite normal to feel a little unsettled. Even though the surgery's primary focus is on the jaw, it occasionally has an indirect effect on how your nose looks. This is due to the fact that shifting your jaw can change how your face features are balanced overall.
Restoring facial harmony and refining your nose can be accomplished via rhinoplasty. Your particular issues regarding your nose, including its breadth, tip location, and visibility of your nostrils, might be addressed by a qualified plastic surgeon. What a rhinoplasty may do is as follows:
Make your nose narrow: A rhinoplasty might assist to narrow the nasal bones and cartilage if you feel that your nose is broader than you would like.
Adjust the tip: To produce a more harmonious and attractive appearance, the surgeon might fine-tune the location and form of your nasal tip.
Reduce nostril visibility: You may lessen the visibility of your nostrils by using techniques like alar base reduction.
Before thinking about a rhinoplasty, it is usually advised to wait until the soft tissue alterations and edema following the jaw surgery have completely subsided. Usually, this takes a year or so.
You can talk about your particular concerns and objectives during a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your face and nose characteristics and suggest the best course of action to get the results you want.
Realistic Expectations: While rhinoplasty can significantly improve your appearance, it's important to have realistic expectations. A skilled surgeon will work to enhance your natural features and create a harmonious and natural-looking result.

I understand your concern. Changes to the jaw and facial contour after orthognathic surgery can indeed alter the proportion and perception of other features, such as the nose and nasolabial groove. In your case, the widening of the nose and increased visibility of the nostrils may have become more pronounced due to the new jaw position, creating a sense of imbalance.
A rhinoplasty could help harmonize the appearance of your nose with your new facial structure. This procedure might refine the nose or adjust its projection and rotation to better complement your face. As for the nasolabial groove, it may also appear longer due to the change in facial proportions; however, a lip lift might not be ideal if, as you mentioned, your nose angle is not favorable for it.
