I had double jaw surgery 15 months ago and it changed my nose. I already had a tiny nose but now its wider, slightly upturned and shows more nostril. I feel like it throws off the balance of my face but not sure if i just have to get used to it? My philtrum appears longer now but when i look at before and after jaw surgery, it seems its my nose thats mostly the issue. I dont think im a good candidate for a lip lift to shorten philtrum length because of the angle of my nose. Thoughts?
Answer: Facial Balancing Hey! It is difficult to tell because i don't see photos attached, however after double jaw surgery it is very common to see that the nose changes. When they advance your face forward- maxillomandibular enhancement, the septum can sometimes get displaced. The first step is to see what is happening with your nose to see if your septum is deviated. , best thing to do is go to someone who specializes in plastic surgery including lip lifts. based on that you can see what is the best approach weather to do a lip lift and/or rhinoplasty. Hope this helps!

Answer: Changes to the nose's appearance Changes to the nose's appearance after double jaw surgery can occur due to alterations in the structure and positioning of the facial bones, impacting overall facial balance. It's not uncommon for patients to notice changes in their nose, including width and nostril visibility, as you've described. Adjusting to your new appearance can take time, and feelings of discomfort or dissatisfaction initially are valid. Before considering further surgeries, such as a lip lift, consulting with both your surgeon and possibly a facial plastic surgeon could provide clarity on the best course of action, ensuring any additional procedures complement your facial structure and address your concerns effectively.

Answer: Double jaw surgery effect on nose To answer this, truly some photos are necessary. I would normally predict that "double jaw" surgery would influence the nose and facial ratios. Consider sitting down with your surgeon and seeing pictures of how you looked before surgery and then going in for a morphing session to see what can be done is what I would recommend. Best Wishes!!

Answer: Consider re-asking your question with photographs. It is not uncommon for upper jaw surgery to change the appearance of somebody's nose. The best way to get recommendations from the experts is to provide photographs that show your nose along with a description of what is bothering you. Additionally, considered meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you could see what to expect after well performed surgery. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
