What operation can help correct a short upper lip (pictured). I have no space between my top lip and my nose, and it looks very unbalanced. Thank you! 30 year old Caucasian female, 110 lbs, fair skinned
Answer: Rhinoplasty Short upper lip is actually a look of youth. You can have a rhinoplasty surgery to de-project your nose and widen the angle between your nose and upper lip to give you an appearance of longer upper lip.

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery for nasal shortening may lead to an increased size of your upper lip Based on your photos, you appear to have a long nasal appearance with an overprojected nasal profile appearance and a dorsal hump. To increase the amount of visibility of your upper lip, rhinoplasty surgery with nasal shortening, tip deprojection and rotation, along with hump reduction may be considered. Please consult with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you can see what might be best for you moving forward. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Short Upper Lip Hi there! Thanks for your photos and questions. You can certainly lengthen a short upper lip. This often involves shortening the overall length of the nose. The columella contributes to the short lip in addition to other aspects of anatomy. An open rhinoplasty approach allows for precise trimming of the cartilage with proper resuturing in order to prevent tip droop long-term. I would meet with a Facial Plastic Surgeon to learn more. Morphing photos with a surgeon can help to set realistic expectations. Hope this helps!

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery Hello! Thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case and I highly recommend you a rhinoplasty surgery. Your nose right now looks too big and it hides your lip (your subnasal area is short). With a rhinoplasty we can achieve a smaller and more defined / elegant nose. It would change a lot on your face.

Answer: Facial surgery A rhinoplasty done well will lessen the tension on your upper lip and give the illusion that your lip is longer. Your brigs needs to be listed and your tip elevated
