Maxillary advancement resulting in wider nostrils?

April 8, 2019
Asked By:Sensible8586 in Vancouver, BC

I'm told I'd need a double jaw surgery to correct my moderate obstructive sleep apnea. I read a few posts from people who've done the Lefort on their upper jaw which resulted in noticeably wider nostrils. Is it a side effect of Lefort or something that may or may not happen? How probable is that? Thank you for your responses.
