My nose cartilage extends so far down, I can even feel it in my upper gum. My upper lip is forced to curve around my nose when I smile. Is there a term for this? Or any possible ideas for corrections?
Answer: The bottom of my nose impeads my smile. I get an odd 'u' shape. How to correct this? Every nose is different and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your nose concerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a natural artistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an in person examination (not just an online consultation) and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results can be achieved with either a closed or open technique.

Answer: The nasal tip and lip: The nasal tip and lip: from the pictures you show it appears that you have a short upper lip. In people who have a short upper lip in whom the lip pulls the tip down when smiling and the nose correspondingly pulls upward on the tip this is referred to as a tethered lip. This is addressed during rhinoplasty by reducing a structure called the nasal spine and dividing the muscle connecting the lip to the nasal septum .

Answer: Lip Crease Under Nose This is a common finding in people who have larger noses. The lower part of your nose (caudal septum, columella) are prominent, causing the crease. Another thing to answer is if you've have any nasal fillers (liquid rhino). I see this often in patient's who had filler injected at the base of their nose. Best treatments are rhinoplasty and release of the depressor septi muscles. If you've had filler - I'd recommend melting it with hyaluronidase before the rhinoplasty.

Answer: The bottom of my nose impedes my smile A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish shaving down the prominent nasal spine, and reducing the hanging columella in addition to shaving down the dorsal hump and narrowing the bridge line. All the incisions replaced on the inside of the nose. No external incisions are required.
