Is it safe / will if affect the results of the rhinoplasty and lip lift procedures if they're done during the same surgery ?

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question yes it is totally safe you can have 2 operations at the same time.It would be better face to face consultation.Best regards!

In the hands of an experienced plastic surgeon, a rhinoplasty and lip lift can be done safely at the same time and with excellent aesthetic results.  I do a lip lift and use the incision resulting from a lip lift at the base of the nose to perform an open rhinoplasty.  I've been doing this for years and have beautiful results with simultaneous lip lift and rhinoplasty.

Thank you for your question. It is a relatively common concern these days.

In general, it is preferable to do these operations separately as the pull from the upper lip will influence the shape of the nostril sill which in turn influences the appearance of the nostril show.

In addition, you will have several areas of instability and healing around the tip and nostrils. This can create some unpredictable effects but not necessarily very serious.

The more serious situation is the combination of open tip rhinoplasty and upper lip lift. The incision at the base of the columella and in the middle of the columella can produce a region of the columella skin that loses its blood supply. This can become very difficult problem to fix.

Closed rhinoplasty and upper lip lift do not have the same conflict in terms of blood supply to the columella skin.

I wouldn’t get a lip lift at all. Why don’t you just get the nose done then think about the lip lift. Other than that it’s not a great idea to do it at the same time if the rhinoplasty is done as an open rhinoplasty. But overall a lip lift is a junk procedure
