Hi,
is how I look from the left, right, and front.
It seems to me that I would benefit from a combination of:
- Rhinoplasty
- Cheek implants
- Wraparound jaw implants
Ideally, one surgeon would perform all of these together to save on time, travel expenses, etc. It seems that a good option may be Dr. Yaremchuk- his work on
this patient in particular matches my desired result.

There is also the matter of my narrow dental arches, which corresponds to the following functional concerns:
- Discomfort when fitting my tongue along the roof of my mouth. The left and right edges of my tongue press up against my teeth, hence the .
- Tendency to get easily congested when lying down somewhere without good ventilation. (If I'm not mistaken, a narrow upper arch leads to relatively narrow nasal passages.)
These are not pressing concerns, but I would like to fix them eventually.
The problem here is that my teeth fit perfectly together, so I would think that any operation such as SARPE will ruin my bite unless accompanied by a matching expansion of my lower arch. From my online searches, it does not seem that surgical lower arch expansion is a regularly performed procedure. So I expect this may have to wait for further advances in the field.

I would appreciate hearing your opinions on any of the above. What would you do in my position? Have I missed something?
