If someones nose tip is low and close to upper lip can it be fixed?
Answer: Correction of a droopy tip The droopy tip is a common nasal problem for which I perform rhinoplasty. Not all noses are the same, and the exact cause for the droopy tip would determine if you are a candidate for this procedure. I would encourage you to visit with a facial plastic surgeon to have an evaluation and determine the best approach for addressing your personal concerns. Best Regards

Answer: Yes. By raising the tip, so the nose is shorter. When the tip is close to the upper lip, we say that the nose is "long." Shortening a long nose is a frequent change to make during a rhinoplasty. A significant shortening of the nose, however, requires advanced techniques, techniques that most plastic surgeons cannot handle. Be sure to read the section in the "Web reference" link on how to stay out of trouble while searching for a rhinoplasty surgeon.

Answer: Can a rhinoplasty help with a nose tip that is too close to upper lip? A nasal tip that is low and too close to the upper lip can be improved with an artistically performed rhinoplasty.Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best surgery. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person Robert Singer, M.D., FACS La Jolla, California
