Asked By:Cool7246 in Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid, Spain
In january I have had a liplift and nosejob, both led to dissatisfaction. The one that really impacts my social life now is the scar under my nose. I have been treating it with Co2 laser, but it is a slow and not so effective procedure. I know it will never be perfect, but right now it looks butchered. My question is will a revision surgery be a better option for me? It really scares me to do it but I get sad every time I see myself. Any recommendation of a doctor would be nice as well.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest...
Radio frequency would not be an alternative. 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 lip lift and rhinoplasty can be done at the same time. 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.
