What would it take in a revision rhinoplasty to increase lip nose length? (Photos)

Jake2121Mar 25, 2019
I want to increase philtrum length. I had a primary rhinoplasty a year ago. I had a columella plasty because I wanted to reduce my bottom heavy nose 6 months ago. It is going to take 4mm+ of cartilage reduction to reduce the bottom of my nose. It’s not about the show it’s about the upper lip and bottom nose space. It is all cartilage. What specific procedure would you recommend to increase the space? It will take more then a simple caudal septum trim to reduce the base

From the photos it does appear that you have an inverted V. That by itself can be pretty easy to correct, but I would never call any revision rhinoplasty easy.  The septum appears crooked to the right and the tip cartilages asymmetric. It is important to find a rhinoplasty surgeon that performs ...
