Hi everyone I'm planning to have a lip lift done but I'm just worried about my nose I already have 5x rhinoplasty revision . Is it still safe to do a lip lift ? Is my blood supply in my nose will not compromise? I'm worried I'm going to have a necrosis in my nose . Thank you so much for your time

Hi, thanks for your question - Certainly at rest photos show appear to show the upper lip to be a bit long - usually we would aim for it to be maybe just a bit more than a 1cm - so lip lift is feasible for you....but you do have a nice smile and the lip does not look so long when you smile. ...
Yes, you do appear to be a candidate for a corner lip lift. I would also add possibly a small amount of fat to your lips as well. This will give the best aesthetic result. The corner lip will add a little more vermilion border to the corner of the lip and give you a more symmetric upper lip...
The indentation can be treated with filler and the scar can be revised. However, the descent of the nostril may not be correctable.
Best Wishes,
