Is it possible to have rhinoplasty (open rhino preferred) and lip surgery (corner lip lift) in the same procedure? (Photo)

Question

Want to fix my nose as well as my lips. I had unilateral condylar hyperplasia which tilted my nose and lips to one side. My nose is not straight, and my lips are slanted. Can I fix this in one sitting? For the rhinoplasty, I want to narrow the wide nose bone and reduce the tip slightly, while straightening the nose. For the lip lift, I only want to do it in the corner to make it symmetrical, and reduce the fat on one side(my left) of the lip as it is more fat than the other.

I would concentrate on finding the best rhinoplasty surgeon. That surgeon may or may not be the right one for the mouth surgery you have in mind

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

There are many rhinoplasty techniques to address the concerns that you have with your nose. Many people have a wide and crooked nasal appearance and have rhinoplasty surgery to address these issues. We do not have experience with corner lip lift surgery. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. I do not ever recommend a lip lift at the same time as rhinoplasty. The excessive swelling from both procedures usually produces a sub optimal scar on the lip lift. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Rhinoplasty and lip lift can be done at the same time.  The lip lift will take excess skin laterally on the lower side to correct for the asymmetry.

Hello, thank you for your question, no need to lift lips, those complaints will be corrected by rhinoplasty.
