Why is my nose still running 6 months after a lip lift?

L
LouisebeeJun 2, 2019

First I want to say that I am very pleased with my results but my nose started running the day after a lip lift. It is 6 months later and it is still running. Sprays and allergy medications really don’t help (I think because it’s not an allergy) My PS had no suggestions. What should I do?

All lip lifts will create a fuller lip, as this is one of the primary aims. In your situation, the philtrum can be shortened and perhaps an upper lip reduction in the future or filler to the lower lip if you are unhappy with the proportions. Gary Linkov, MD Lip Specialist Manhattan

The key in your case is not to get overly aggressive. The length of your philtrum is long, so as long as you remain somewhat conservative (less than a third) the impact on final tooth show won't be too severe. This will also keep the center from going too high and the upper lip from overpowering...
