Will a lip lift 12-15 months before rhinoplasty affect the incision lines/scarring for the nose job/alarplasty?

Asked By:Shanaynay92 in Australia, AU

I am looking at getting a ?bullhorn? lip-lift (Dec 2023) *before* my nose job (Apr 2025). For my nose job I need septoplasty for two deviations (slightly leans to my right side), inferior turbinoplasty x 2, and alarplasty (nostril holes too wide, too much flaring and also the wing skin is too "fat"). Will getting a lip lift roughly 12-15months prior affect or interfere with the incision lines/scarring for the nose job (alarplasty, in particular)? Or results be compromised? :)
