Can the lip lift and rhinoplasty be done together? (Photo)

I wrote the original research paper describing how to do those two surgeries safely together. They are a common combination here at my practice.

Yes, a lip lift is commonly done with a rhinoplasty. Your chin is microgenic, making your nose look proportionally larger. I would consider that before a rhinoplasty revision. A chin implant would significantly balance your nose. Your upper lip is long, and a lip lift will be big game changer!

Yes, a lip lift and rhinoplasty can be performed together. This combined approach is well-documented in the literature and is considered safe and effective for achieving facial harmony and rejuvenation.

Key points from the literature:

Simultaneous Procedures: Multiple studies and clinical reports confirm that combining rhinoplasty with a lip lift (such as a subnasal or bullhorn lip lift) is feasible and can be performed using a single incision line or closely related incisions, minimizing additional scarring and optimizing aesthetic outcomes.
Aesthetic Benefits: The combination addresses both nasal and upper lip concerns, such as a long philtrum, reduced vermilion show, and nasal profile issues, resulting in a more youthful and balanced facial appearance.
Patient Satisfaction: Patients who undergo these combined procedures report high satisfaction with both functional and cosmetic results.
Technique Variations: Different techniques exist, including the use of a single incision for both procedures or separate but coordinated incisions, depending on the surgeon’s preference and the patient’s anatomy.

In summary, combining a lip lift with rhinoplasty is a well-established, safe, and effective approach for patients seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation and harmony

From what I can see in the photos, both procedures can be performed together. Lip lift and rhinoplasty are complementary procedures that target the same areas, so they can usually be done simultaneously. The lip lift is performed with small incisions around the upper lip, which do not interfere with the internal incisions made during rhinoplasty. Combining both procedures can shorten the recovery time and make the process more efficient. However, to ensure the best and safest outcome, a physical examination for a more detailed assessment would be ideal.

Hello, hope you are well. This is a relatively common question with a simple answer: 'yes'. A lip lift and revision rhinoplasty can be performed in the same operation--it is something done quite frequently in my practice. In my own experience I have had no problems with these procedures being combined, and beyond that there is good evidence in the literature that this is safe.

Yes! Great question. These procedures can absolutely be done at the same time in a safe manner. This is a really great combination of procedures that I perform in my practice. The best part is that patients only have one period of downtime and one bout of anesthesia. Not every surgeon performs lip lifts and there are many different techniques and aesthetics, so I would seek out someone who has the aesthetic you desire. Good luck with your surgery!

Thank you for your inquiry! Multiple procedures can be done during one surgery which would save on anesthesia costs as well as one recovery. We would love to help you reach your goals. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to make sure you're a great candidate for these procedures.

Yes, a rhinoplasty and lip lift can be done at the same time. From your photographs, you are a candidate for a lip lift. The photographs of the nose are somewhat limited.

Best Wishes,

I don’t prefer to do it at the same time because nose bleeds, fluid will flow and this will effect the lip lift incision

Hello; Just further information that; Liplift and Rhinoplasty procedures; can be performed at the same time.
