Should I get rhinoplasty first or a jaw reduction?

You may want to get your jaw reduction surgery first, but this case really depends on your surgeon’s preference after he or she has examined your needs and specific features during your consultation.

Both can be done at the same time. I don't have your pictures to review. A skilled plastic surgeon who also is an expert maxillofacial surgeon can assist you in meeting your goals.

Dear newbieee97The most common approach is to build the right foundation of the nose with the jaw surgery, then move forward with rhinoplastySome cases can be completed at the same timeThe timing is important, but the ultimate goals and possibilities need a consultation and discussion with your surgeon (s) Best Wishes

Generally speaking, most patients will have the jaw reduction surgery before the rhinoplasty as its appearance can influence the rhinoplasty.  Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek.

Perform the jaw surgery first, then consider the rhinoplasty procedure, especially if the upper jaw is done as well.   Digital computer imaging will be helpful to understand with be accomplished with your nose on your facial features. For examples of rhinoplasty results, please see the link below

Surgery on the upper jaw can impact the shape and position of the nose, and while some surgeons perform rhinoplasty and orthognathic surgery at the same time, the 2 procedures are commonly separated with the jaw surgery being performed first.  I would recommend against having the rhinoplasty before the orthognathic surgery.

I suggest seeing a plastic surgeon before you do anything.  It is hard to give advice on your issue without seeing you or photos of you!
