Can the Labii Superioris Be Reconnected to the Lower Lateral Cartilages During Revision ?

During primary rhinoplasty the doctor removed a large portion of the Lower Lateral Cartilages and I believe disconnected the connection it had with the labii superioris muscle. When I pull my lip forward and contract the muscle by snarling I only get a very very weak pull and the upper lip hardly moves. Is it possible to correct this?

This is a great question and a first for me and I perform a high rate of revisional surgeries for other surgeons. This would be a highly unique situation and necesitate a consultation and detailed exam before any specific answer can be provided. Seek out a board certified facial plastic surgeon in your area to discuss this issue with.
