Is there any way to increase the distance between my nose and lips? (photos)

Question

I have been criticised a lot for having very little space between my nose and lips. It just doesn't look natural. Would there be a way to increase it so I can have a better social life?

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can
accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your
lower nose. You may also benefit from a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn
up your tip slightly and a conservative dorsal hump reduction.  Make
sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients
who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer
animation system. The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hello,
Thanks for the question and the pictures.
I think a good Rhinoplasty can add some height to your upper lip if surgeon is told about your aims.
Its possible to relocate the base of columella little higher and rotate the tip of nose upwards.
I wish you all the best.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
Thank you for your submission. From the photos provided, it appears that your nose rides quite high. In addition, the strut (columella)  between the nostrils rides quite low on the upper lip.
This can be corrected with an open rhinoplasty, with emphasis on correcting the columellar strut and lowering the nasal bridge.
Seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon.
Best wishes...
