Is it possible to have a Lip Lift done at the same time as a Rhinoplasty? It seems logical, if the incision will be made in the area anyways. If, so can the cost be contained for both procedures if they essentially share the same incision?
Answer: Lip lift and rhinolasty done at the same time
A lip lift and a rhinoplasty can be done at the same, but it would have to be a closed rhinoplasty with limited internal incisions. Otherwise the blood supply to the nose may be compromised and swelling of the nose may be extended beyond the normal time. Also with the injections in the nose it make it difficult to evaluate the amount of skin removal necessary to achieve the desired result in a lip lift.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Lip lift with Rhinoplasty A Lip Lift is a powerful adjunct to rhinoplasty because attractiveness in the human face is all about proportions and a properly performed lip lift can be the perfect icing on the cake to a properly performed rhinoplasty. The incision is actually different but equally well disguised.You would do better with a Bullhorn pattern which is more anatomically natural and give a better result. It is also hidden right below the nose. The Gullwing pattern is along the actual white roll of the lip and is a more obvious scar and less poutier lift. An upper lip lift is an excellent procedure to give naturally beautiful, youthful and poutier lips. It's one of my favorite procedures because it is quick (90 minutes), does not require general anesthesia, and it makes a big difference that is long-lasting. Patients of all ages can benefit from an upper lip lift, the idea candidates have an upper lip length greater than 1.8 cm. This is measured as the distance from the base of the nostrils to the red part of your lip. In women, I aim for a lip length of 1.2 to 1.5 cm and in men we try to keep it closer to 1.5 to 1.8 after the lip lift. An easy way to tell if you can benefit from an upper lip lift is to relax your mouth so your mouth is slightly open... if you cannot see your upper teeth during natural lip separation - you may benefit from an upper lip lift. The surgery is designed so the incision is concealed along the groove under your nose and heals with an inconspicuous scar. Patients with a long upper lip who elect to get lip filler instead of a lip lift are at increased risk for developing "Duck Lips" because the filler has no more vertical room to push the lips, and so they end up going out like a duck bill. So fillers are a great option for lip augmentation but cannot deliver a lip lift like an actual lip lift procedure. Regarding the scars in your question above - the scar typically heals extremely well and can be further effaced with laser if it's a concern.To optimize your chances of an excellent scar we recommend no smoking 4 weeks prior to the surgery and limit sun exposure after the surgery.See an expert.

Answer: Lip lift and rhinoplasty Yes. There have been studies in the literature demonstrating safety with even an open rhinoplasty coupled with a lip lift. The cost is something to be discussed with your surgeon as this will vary greatly between providers. Best of luck. Gary Linkov, MD

Answer: Lip Lift with Rhinoplasty Good day! Since both procedures have incisions that are in close proximity to each other, it will compromise final results and double the healing time. It will all depend on the experience of your plastic surgeon and his or her best advice with your situation. Do not hesitate to discuss your realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: Sometimes it is wisest not to perform 2 procedures within the same territory until the results of one is seen. Dear susp in New York, NY: The rhinoplasty can influence the lips and the lips can influence the rhinoplasty. My inclination would be to not to want to compromise the result of either and, therefore, separate them. Four to six months would be appropriate. Remember that it does take time for things to heal and that is the reason why you want to have complete healing before you judge the results and move on to the second procedure. Best wishes, Robert Kotler, MD, FACS

Answer: Lip lift and rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. Lip lifts and rhinoplasty can be done at the same time. I would recommend that you ask your plastic surgeon about this combination as it may depend on the rhinoplasty technique that is being performed and whether there is a benefit in staging the procedure. This would usually be the case when the blood supply between the rhinoplasty incision and the lip lift incision could be compromised.
