Should I have plastic surgery before or after my jaw surgery?

By my orthodontist's request, I will be having jaw surgery to fix my overbite and give me a perfect smile. However, that will make my face look disproportioned so I am planning on having my lower lip 's size reduced, a rhinoplasty and some fat grafting to give my face a more balanced look.

How long after my jaw surgery could I have these surgeries done? Or should I have the plastic surgery done first and just move my jaw forward so that the surgeon will know how it would look post-jaw-surgery? Would they have an affect on each other?

You probably want to do the jaw surgery first just to see how it will turn out and then the plastic surgery on your lip to complete the makeover. You should ask you doctor for an advice. They would definitely know more on this.
Good Luck! Very Happy
