Is it possible to have a Lip Lift done at the same time as a Rhinoplasty? It seems logical, if the incision will be made in the area anyways. If, so can the cost be contained for both procedures if they essentially share the same incision?
Answer: Lip lift and rhinolasty done at the same time
A lip lift and a rhinoplasty can be done at the same, but it would have to be a closed rhinoplasty with limited internal incisions. Otherwise the blood supply to the nose may be compromised and swelling of the nose may be extended beyond the normal time. Also with the injections in the nose it make it difficult to evaluate the amount of skin removal necessary to achieve the desired result in a lip lift.

Answer: Lip lift and 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. Gary Linkov, MD

Answer: Lip Lift with Rhinoplasty 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

Answer: Lip lift and rhinoplasty 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.

Answer: Lip Shortening at time of rhinoplasty
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
