Removal of anterior nasal spine on rhinoplasty? (Photo)

August 17, 2023
Asked By:xxxxxxtyhbj in Kansas, Estados Unidos

I had a rhinoplasty 2.5 years ago. When smiling, something looks off, and my upper lip goes upward behind the collumela, and my nose crookes because of the upward force. Before surgery, I could clearly feel the anterior nasal spine bone where my collumela meets my upper lip when pressing upward. Now, there’s no bone, just cartilage (septum?). I can safely say the bone is gone and it’s enabling my upper lip to move upward more than it used to. Is there a solution to this?
