I would like to have the tip of my nose reduced and if needed the bridge reduced as well.. if possible I would want to complete a lip lift at the same time to increase the size of mostly my upper lip.. if there was anything else the doctor would recommend it would be good to know, but those are the 2 thing that I have specifically been wanting to do.
Answer: Great question! it was long considered unsafe to do a nose surgery and a lip lift at the same time. Many years ago I realize that this was an unfounded concern. A couple of years ago I published a paper showing experience with well over 100 lip lift rhinoplasty combinations done at the same setting. It is typical for me to do these two procedures together because they compliment each other and you have just one healing period.

Answer: Lip lift plus rhinoplasty Yes, I frequently perform these two surgeries together. These two procedures often go hand in hand and the patient only has to heal once with one scar. That being said, based on the photos provided, a lip lift might not be the best option because it would increase tooth show and might lead to too much of a gummy smile. I would recommend speaking to a facial plastic surgeon to determine if you are a candidate for both of these surgeries. All the best,

Answer: Can I have a lip lift and a rhinoplasty done at the same time? I would not mind doing a lip lift and a rhinoplasty at the same setting. The smiling pictures that you are including do not allow evaluation of your nose or your lip. Therefore you would need to be seen. You might want to arrange for a video conferencing if you are far from Morristown NJ.

Answer: Lip Lift + Rhinoplasty There are surgical and non-surgical approaches to lip augmentation. Non-surgical approaches include botox (slight lift, reducing gum show) and filler (volume restoration). Surgically, you can have two separate incisions under the nose (italian), one incision under the nose (bull horn), one incision at the red/white upper lip junction (gull wing) or two separate incision at the corners, or a combination, depending on your desired look and anatomy.

Answer: Combining lip lift and rhinoplasty Yes, a lip lift and rhinoplasty can be done at the same time. However, in the photographs you provided you are smiling. I need a photograph in repose to access whether you need a lip lift or not.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
