Nose seems bigger after lip lift. Why?

Question

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

It is normal to get nasal swelling, especially at the ala, post lip lift. This will subside. You may have more swelling if your surgeon used the technique of hiding the incisions inside the nose.

It is normal to experience swelling following surgery.  Once you are healed, your nose should go back to looking like it did prior to surgery.
