Should I get lip flip before or after rhinoplasty?

Question

From what ive read a nose job will make my philtrum appear longer so I want get a lip flip(botox) to hide that effect. My rhinoplasty procedure is in 2weeks. When is the best/safest time for me to get lip botox?

In most cases, a lip lift and rhinoplasty can be effectively performed together. However, you should definitely pick an experienced surgeon due to importance of understanding the limitations, particularly regarding alar base reduction.

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination. at least 3-4 wks before/after the procedure

The lip flip procedure using Botox causes very minimal displacement of the pink lip upwards. In some people it can lead to difficulty with speech or using a straw. If you like, feel free to re-ask your question with photographs. Even better, you should address this question with your surgeon before rhinoplasty! Good luck moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello!Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question We recommend lip lift operation to be performed together with rhinoplasty.
It would be better face to face consultation
Best Regards!

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

A rhinoplasty does always make the philtrum appear longer.  I recommend you do the rhinoplasty and then wait to consider what you want to do with the lip later.

Best Wishes,
