Should I get lip flip before or after rhinoplasty?

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!

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.

It is not likely that rhinoplasty would make columella longer? Without in person consultation or at least, series of good photos, it is impossible to suggest whether you need a lip lift. That is something you should discuss with your surgeon ahead of surgery. Many surgeons like to separate these two procedures but they may be safely performed together in selected patients. Good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question. I would recommend waiting at least six months for the swelling to settle before doing a lip flip. Many patients end up not needing this after surgery.

Best wishes and good luck.
