Can a rhinoplasty correct a piggy nose that has occurred due to a lip lift?

December 2, 2022
Asked By:Charming610481 in Eureka, California

I want to get both rhinoplasty and a lip lift procedure. Through research, I have found that it would be more beneficial to do one at a time, despite the temptation to combine surgeries. Most say rhinoplasty first(due to the philtrum elongating) however, the nose is my primary concern. A lip lift could ruin a perfect nose job. I would rather gain some philtrum. Could rhinoplasty correct a potentially distorted nose due to lip lift? Thinking lip lift first…then rhinoplasty.
