I'm a candidate for a lip lowering procedure that would help with my gummy smile. I also need to have rhinoplasty to correct a deviated septum and remove the hump on my nose plus otoplasty to correct my ear. Would the lip lowering procedure affect the other surgeries and should it be done before or after? Thanks

The upper lip lift allows you to shorten the length of the upper lip. This will expose more of the front teeth. The surgery is performed in the office with either local anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.

You are a great candidate for a lip lift, and likely a corner lip lift. At your age is around the time we see lips start to droop and lengthen. The procedure I do is in the office, takes about 30 minutes, and is very effective. Watch our videos to learn more.
