I want both lip lift and rhinoplasty. I’m finding lip lifts often pull the nostrils down creating a pig nose look. Could a rhinoplasty correct it? I want to get a rhinoplasty either way, so I was thinking of doing lip lift first, then after seeing how it affects my nose after say a year of fully healing, then I could asses how to go about my nose. I know you can do both simultaneously, otherwise the rhinoplasty is usually encouraged first, but due to the pig nose, I prefer this route.

Answer: Lip and rhinoplasty Given your concerns, I don't think your rationale is unreasonable at all. Have the lip lift (conservatively done) first, and then have a rhinoplasty a year later. I'd wait the full year for scar maturation and relaxation prior to any tip manipulation.

Answer: Nose surgery and lip lift Based on these photos, you should do both rhinoplasty and lip lift in the same time. Mayor element of lip lift is excision of the muscle in addition to the skin. For that reason, observation you made regarding appearance of nostrils is not seen in our patients?. However, doing lip lift after nose surgery result is stable and mature, would be safe. Good luck.
