Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 My ortho had suggested having my nose nipped a bit when I had my consultation for braces and he did a computer mock up. I've since had my upper/lower jaws/chin done...I am relieved I didn't go for the nose, my nose didn't spread, if anything it looks smaller to me. I couldn't go for anymore surgery so I guess a facelift is out when I turn 50 lol. I'm almost 6 weeks post-op, still looking like a chipmunk with a square jaw but thank goodness my nose is just fine. Livia, we could get on our cell phones, pop the kids down in a chair and have that milkshake and wrap but I'd have to skip the donut as my mouth doesn't open wide enough yet and I'm sure they wouldn't blend it for me :-) Carole Anne > ok, so let me get this straight, people who move there upper jaw > forward get a bigger nose?
