Asked By:SweetHonwy in California, CA

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?
