I had a rhinoplasty about 7 years ago, since then, my upper lip hangs past my front teeth, making me look older and awkward. Additionally, I feel the lower portion of my face, particularly my chin, appears too large and out of proportion. I had facial palsy on the left side of my face 17 years ago, leaving some unevenness that seems more noticeable with age. I’m unhappy with how my upper lip looks and how my face feels unbalanced. Any procedure suggestions that might help address these concerns?
Answer: Yes, your imbalance and lips can be addressed. I'm sorry for your experience with facial palsy. In short, it's difficult to address facial asymmetries from that condition with single, 2D photos. However, you are an excellent candidate for a lip lift to address your longer upper lip and asymmetry. Also, your chin can be shaved down through a hidden incision under your chin to give a more narrow chin.

Answer: Lip Lift and Chin Contouring Hello, hope you are well. Thanks for submitting your questions and photos! I agree with your self-analysis: your upper lip is relatively elongated with reduced vermilion show and a long philtrum. You would be an excellent lip lift candidate. This would improve the upper and lower lip proportions, increase dental show, and increase vermilion show, overall creating a more youthful and feminine appearance. Chin contouring can be done as well to reduce the width/squareness of the chin. This is done through a small incision on the inside of the mouth between the lower lip and teeth.

Answer: Lip lift and chin implant You are an excellent candidate for a lip lift. 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. The procedure takes 1 hour to perform under local anesthesia and costs $4,000. You may also benefit from a chin implant. This may give you more projection and decrease the wide appearance of your chin from a frontal view.
