I had rhinoplasty 6 months ago. My upper lip looks alot thinner adn it looks as though it folds inwards toward my teeth. It coveres my teeth when I smile, the sides go up more the the mid portion so it looks like a V. Before the surgey when I smiled my lip was straight and not like a V shape. Can this be repared by reattaching the muscle Depressor sept nasi muscle? I want my old fuller and straight lip back. Can this be fixed during revision rhinoplasty?

Answer: Loss of lip "show after rhinoplasty? Loss of lip "show after rhinoplasty? It is not the depressors that need to be fixed but rather a lip lift will restore your lip to go it's preoperative position. And in person evaluation would be best. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who is experienced with lip lifts for this.

Answer: Upper Lip Problems After Rhinoplasty Without seeing any photos of your face, it is difficult to determine what might be recommended. However, I can say that it is very challenging (if not really impossible) to reattach the depressor muscle after it has been cut. You may benefit from an upper lip lift procedure that can sometimes help restore a more desirable shape and volume. I have attached a link to my website that discusses this more in detail. Wishing you the best.
