What can be done to get my nose back to the way it was after having lip lift/ reduction surgery? (Photo)

BirdymNov 3, 2014
I had an Italian lip lift with a reduction of lips and it made my nose wider with hanging columella and removed my sills without any knowledge that this would affect my nose whatsoever . I never had a problem with my nose and only had a rhino many yrs ago to correct a broken bone . What should or can be done ? I have seen many drs and some say leave it alone and others say to fix it . Confused but not happy with it and doesn't feel like me with this nose

A lip lift can be done after silicone is injected in the lips.  Silicone injections have a high complication rate and I would seek medical advice if you had any problems with your lips.

An internal mucosal excision can be done to roll the upper lip under to show more teeth/gims but that would make your upper lip even thinner. Thus either a subnasal lip lift or a lip advancement would be your only treatment options to achieve your goal of a gummier smile.
