Anything to Do for Long Philtrum and Short Nose?

Question

My philtrum is really long and I wish my nose would not stop so short. Is there anything I can have done?

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Noses can be lengthened and possibly shortening the upper lip. See an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon since this is an advanced technique to do.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

The nose can be lengthened and the lip shortened, whether this will be your first surgery or a revision rhinoplasty.There are several subtle variations in nasal anatomy which will determine the best surgical approach. The experience of your surgeon will be critical in achieving a good result with this difficult problem.
