Bruising and possibly elongating upper lip - was this caused by the surgical technique used during my Rhinoplasty? (photos)

JNM0221Nov 18, 2021
I had a 2nd rhinoplasty about 15 years from initial rhinoplasty. The tip of my nose cartilage had been cut and the tip needed to defined and I wanted a more narrow nose. Post 2nd rhino I had awful bruising numbness (that persist even 3 years later) and an odd line that appeared when I smiled. I found the line to be caused by a strut that was placed that I was told wasn’t placed. My question. Would whatever was done to my nose have caused me to have a longer upper lip?

Dear Cansulily19, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more...

In cases when you feel your nose is not the right shape or length, it's best to have a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon to advise you on the right treatment. Rhinoplasties tend to be very technical operations, and because they are aesthetic they are based on the motivations of the patient...
