Hi ,

I am preop, but will have the lower septal repair with the jaw

surgery. But I have a second rhinoplasty set up for later that will

deal with the upper septual changes and with that one, I am doing a

cosmetic improvement too. I don't know how it worked for others who

had the whole thing at one surgery. Sorry!

I hope your appointment goes well! Let us know what you find out.

Hugs,

Hi ,

I had work done on my nose the same time as jaw surgery. I have practicaly have

a new nose all together as my surgeon did a lot of nose lengethning, reshaping

and everything else that needed doing.

tomorrow . I'm excited! If I decide to go through with whatever he

Wuhoo! Now let's hope the rest of this will be as fast-moving.

Has anyone used the invisalign products as a treatmnt before surgery? I

think I'd *almost* rather have braces; it would seem like there would be

better results, and I wouldn't have the option of taking out an appliance.

thanks,

Thanks for the responses! I talked to the ortho about the possibility of a

nose job too; he said whether it could be done at the same time would depend

on how long the jaw surgery would be, and if i'd have to stay overnight, and

those kinds of thngs. He recommended talking to the plastic surgeon about

it. He didn't rule it out, but didn't say, yes, deifnitely, either.

The dr. also said " most definitely not! " for the invisalign as the first

step. So braces it will be...It's possible to do invisalign after the

surgery, but that would add an extra $2k and I don't think it's worth it.

I'll just do the braces again for any " fine-tuning " afterwards.

Has anyone had to have any further treatment AFTER the surgery, to get the

teeth into the right position (fine-tuning, as the dr put it)?
