Default Jaw Surgery and Face Disproportionality and Plastic 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 (as well as some work on my chin since it'll look like it's sticking out!).

Also, when my orthodontist and surgeon tell me to move my jaw to the spot where they want it, the back of my teeth are never touching. Is that how I'll be post-operation?

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?
