Which should be done first, lip lift or face lift? I want a different surgeon for each procedure?

September 5, 2015
Asked By:tilleylynne in Birmingham, AL

I desire full face lift AND upper lip lift. My concern is lip lift procedure seems to be more difficult and not done as often. If I prefer one Dr. for face & another for lip, what is recommended surgery sequence? Lip or face first? The distance from my nose to upper lip is quite long, but my upper lip is full enough so lip lift will be even more challenging. Do I select only 1 Dr. based on my confidence in the lip skill and conclude that he/she will be equally or more skilled in face?.
