Nose seems bigger after lip lift. Why?

S
sueebeeMay 30, 2019

I had a lip lift about 9 days ago. My lips were actually nice I just didn’t like how they looked heavy/weighted with fillers. Never had teeth show at rest but did when smiled. Now my nose which I had rhino on 4 years ago to remove bulbous tip, still a bigger nose but I was ok with it. It now looks HUGE! Why?The tip is fat! Could this be swelling? Didn’t think so

All lip lifts will create a fuller lip, as this is one of the primary aims. In your situation, the philtrum can be shortened and perhaps an upper lip reduction in the future or filler to the lower lip if you are unhappy with the proportions. Gary Linkov, MD Lip Specialist Manhattan

The amount of skin removed is based on the initial distance between your lip and nose. In some cases up to 8 mm can be removed. The before and after photos show you have a nice result after only one month since your surgery. The final result may not be evident for another 2 months. Good luck
