What two procedures (invasive or non-invasive) would you suggest that I should have to be more attractive? (photo)

Question

I was thinking about nose tip surgery and upper lip lift surgery ... I won’t be offended by any opinion. I also want to be myself and not someone else. I just feel like my face needs a more harmonious look. Thank you!

I appreciate your question and your photos. Based on your images, it appears a lip lift might provide the most satisfying result for you. This procedure reduces the philtrum (the area between the base of the nose and the upper lip), while increasing mucosal (red) show of the lip and producing a more youthful pout. I perform lip lifts with a small incision at the base of the nose, which leaves almost no visible scarring for most patients. The results are permanent. I recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon for further assessment and a customized treatment plan.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

I recommend a lip lift first.  The distance between your nose and upper lip appears to be too long and the upper lip is too small.  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.  A lip lift can be combined with rhinoplasty but I believe you should start with a lip lift first.  It is less invasive, less costly and less down time.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.
