I am planning on getting Double jaw surgery due to bite issues, recesses upper jaw, TMJ. I understand that when the surgeon pushes my jaw forward it's likely going to cause my nose to become more upturned. I'm scared for this because I don't want my nostrils to be more noticeable and I don't want the philtrum space to seem longer. If this happens with the surgery, is there any way to get it so that the nose/ nostrils go back to being downturned and the philtrum space shortens without a lip lift?
Answer: Tip derotation Hello and thank you for your question. It is possible to derotate the Tip by placing extended spreader grafts. after your jaw surgery when you have a Rhinoplasty performed. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: Please consider reviewing photos of other people who had maxillary advancement surgery. He have not seen people who are so dissatisfied with their noses after maxillary advancement surgery, that they subsequently wish to have rhinoplasty surgery. A frank discussion with your surgeon may be helpful as well. Wishing you well. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty Yes, a rhinoplasty can change the angle of the nose. I would recommend you undergo the jaw surgery first and see how things heal and then consider what needs to be done next.

Answer: DJS (le Forte 1 & BSSO) Nose changes Hi,The two most common issues concerning the nose after the maxillary advancement of DJS are upward rotation and widening of the nasal base. It is important to be aware of these changes, however we cannot predict the exact degree of change. There are many other changes that come with this surgey. It is important to be aware of these changes as that will help you (mentally) during the recovery process, but it is also important to be patient. It takes at least 1 year, sometimes even a few years for some of the areas to settle, for the muscles to get used to their new (subtle) changes in movement. Rhinoplasty can correct the rotation and widening. Your surgeon may even try to place a cinching suture under the nasal base to limit the widening.... BUT these should not be done for at least 1 year, maybe longer depending on degree of movement and healing process. Make sure to choose a surgeon that does these often and can help counsel you on what to expect. Good luck!
