Hello doctors! Last summer I underwent a double jaw surgery and my face has changed. Also my nose has changed. I didn't really like it before but now I don't like it at all ... It became wider ... What do you recommend me to do? I don't want a big change. It was fine like I had it before. When do you think I can have my rhinoplasty? Or I still have to wait since I did the double jaw surgery in July. Thank you very much for your help. best regards!

Answer: Flat nose after jaw surgery After any surgery where the front of the jaw is operated on (especially moved forward), the nose can widen and flatten if steps are not taken to prevent it. At the time of your rhinoplasty, the base of the nose can be narrowed with an internal suture. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in craniofacial surgery to help get this corrected.

Answer: Rhinoplasty after Orthognathic Surgery It is very common that the nostril base width will increase after a maxillary osteotomy due to release of the facial musculature from the wide subperiosteal undermining done across the maxilla. This can be corrected (restored) at the time of your rhinoplasty through either an internal alar cinch procedure or external nostril narrowing. Now that you are six months after your facial osteotomies, you can proceed with your rhinoplasty at any time.
