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

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,

You are definitely a good candidate for a rhinoplasty to improve the shape of your nose such as narrowing your nose to make it look more like the model photos you posted. If you want to actually shorten the distance between your nose and your lip, that would require a lip lift. A lip lift is a minor surgical procedure which aims to improve the appearance and shape of the lip. A small incision is made at the base of the nose and a small strip of skin is removed to lift the lip to a higher position. This is done for a couple of reasons – in a youthful face, the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose is short. With age, this skin stretches and the upper lip becomes flat and you lose visibility of the red portion of the lip. A lip lift restores a youthful distance between the lips and the nose which creates a more balanced facial appearance. By shortening this distance this rolls the red portion of the lip upwards creating more fullness and shape. Some patients undergo a corner lip lift at the same time to correct a downturned corner of the mouth. I would recommend seeing an experienced facial plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss your goals.
