Should I get a lip lift and would it affect my nose tip? (Photo)

missmoofieApr 21, 2014
See how my teeth don't even really show when I smile? I have veneers and you dont even get to see them. I do have a bit of a long nose tip (Kim K pre surgery) When I smile, would this be affected at all??? OR would it give the illusion of a longer tip?? Thank you doctors. And if you are local in DC MD VA please indicate that.

Postoperatively, after a lip lift, you can anticipate bruising and swelling that will be noticeable to you and others for about 1 week. After the sutures are removed or dissolve, depending on the type used, there will be redness along the incision line for 4-6 weeks but this can be covered with...
