Can the rib graft in my nose be slightly trim to look more symmetrical? Would that make my lip come up more naturally? (Photo)

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a revision rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery could include nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, and debulking at the inferior aspect of your columella, among other maneuvers. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
