Can a Lip Lift Be Performed with Rhinoplasty?

Yes. There have been studies in the literature demonstrating safety with even an open rhinoplasty coupled with a lip lift. The cost is something to be discussed with your surgeon as this will vary greatly between providers.
Best of luck.

Good day! Since both procedures have incisions that are in close proximity to each other, it will compromise final results and double the healing time. It will all depend on the experience of your plastic surgeon and his or her best advice with your situation. Do not hesitate to discuss your realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Thank you for your question.  Lip lifts and rhinoplasty can be done at the same time.  I would recommend that you ask your plastic surgeon about this combination as it may depend on the rhinoplasty technique that is being performed and whether there is a benefit in staging the procedure.  This would usually be the case when the blood supply between the rhinoplasty incision and the lip lift incision could be compromised.

Yes, it is possible to do a lip shortening procedure at the time of a closed Rhinoplasty. That being said, please rely on your surgeon's best advice as to whether he/she is comfortable with that option

As you can see the general consensus is that a combined open rhinoplasty and bull's horn lip lift are generally not advised due to the possibility of compromising the blood supply to the columella. You can review the attached video to see the proximity of these two incisions.
However a 1) closed rhinoplasty and bull's horn lip lift (the preferred method of lip lift) or 2) open/closed rhinoplasty with gull wing lift lip are generally acceptable.
Be prepared for a visible scar in any case.

Although there is some concern over the blood supply to the nose when performing both procedures together, I have performed lip lifts and rhinoplasties during the same operation with great success.

Lip lifts are wonderful operations in the right patient, performed either after or during a rhinoplasty.
Much more so than with other surgeries, lip lifts are extremely technique dependent. Patients should be absolutely concerned about the aesthetics and scarring of the procedure, and should insist on seeing many before-after pictures before proceeding.
The lip should appear graceful, proportionate and harmonious with the rest of the face. Very importantly, the scar should be virtually invisible.
A poorly done or overly aggressive lip lift produces an unfixable deformity.
This requires great experience and careful technique.

I don't know how many lip lifts go so well that i don't notice them...but, I see lots of women with obvious lift lips: scars at the base of the nose, too short of an upper lip, straining to close the mouth, and just an overall "operate upon" kind of a look.

I think this a fabulous procedure in the elderly, whose lips really have lenghtened and need to be shortened, and in whom the scars usually fade inconspicuously.

For all I know, your surgeon can deliver a great result from this procedure in a young person....but be sure you research this well.

Yes, only if it is a closed rhinoplasty without any septal work.
You also have to take into consideration your overall health. For example if you have diabetes, hypertension, or you smoke then you should not have these procedures simultaneously.

I agree with Dr. Waldman. Performing a lip lift and rhinoplasty together would potentially endanger the blood supply to the upper lip/nose region. This could cause an area of skin breakdown to appear. Being that it would be in the center of your face, the psychological consequences of a hole in the lip/nose would be devastating. I would separate the two procedures by a period of 3-6 months after careful examination by your surgeon.
Good luck.
