Is it possible to bring the nose closer to the lip? (Photo)

Question

Hello, I have been in the market for a rhinoplasty for over a decade, and have decided I do intend on getting one. My question is can the nose bridge be brought down the face to shorten the length between the nose and lips? Or is the better option to do a lip lift? I am also looking to see if I can get a nose similar to Jasmine Tookes if that is possible? Any thoughts?

A lip lift would certainly decrease the distance between the pink of your lip and the bottom of your nose. Sometimes, people who want to go lip lift surgery, can experience poor scarring in that area which could be visible. If this is something that you wish to undergo, please be sure that your surgeon is comfortable operating on you and has favorable before and after photos. Wishing you well. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hi from Istanbul, thanks for this question. In my practice, one of the procedures I frequently perform addresses exactly this concern. To reduce the length between your nose and lips, extending the nose with cartilage grafts is a viable option. This technique can effectively shorten the appearance of that distance. While a lip lift could also enhance this look, it's important to have a thorough assessment and discussion with a plastic surgeon to determine the best approach tailored to your specific needs and desired outcome. Hope this helps, best of luck!

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question for this, I recommend lip lift together with rhinoplasty operation, it is possible to achieve the result you want with a single operation.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best regards!

Hi , multiple aspects can be addressed in determining the preferred appearance of the nose. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery 
process.

A lip lift will bring the lip closer to the nose.  A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

Best Wishes,
