Rhinoplasty effects on upper lip?

January 8, 2024
Asked By:nanuka1 in Kansas

Hello, lots of patients with rhinoplasty experience as well as doctors mention that rhinoplasty can cause permanent changes in upper lip's length, shape or position. That is the result I am trying to avoid. If I do rhinoplasty with closed method or only deproject the upper part of my nose in order to remove hump(and not touch the base at all) will that risk be eliminated? In general, does closed method reduce that risk or is it the same as in case of open rhinoplasty? Thank you in advance.
