I'm getting a rhinoplasty and then after that considered getting a lip lift to better my upper lip. I measured the space from my lip to nose to be at around 14mm (with a basic ruler so not reliable) I don't want it to be a huge lift, would it be possible to only remove 2mm. I considered lip injections but am worried they'll look unnatural. should I get a lip lift in regards to the conditions listed above or would it be better to get lip injections? thank you for your time.

Answer: Am I a candidate for a lip lift? To answer your question appropriately, you need to send a picture of your face with your mouth slightly open and relaxed to see if you show any upper teeth. The lip lift will increase the vermillion show, It can bring the base of your nose down to improve the drooping tip, If your teeth aren't to high, it will allow you to show some upper teeth. It is possible to remove 2 to 3 mm and I can even remove more, If we try to show teeth. I can perform the rhinoplasty and the lip lift at the same time so that you go through one recovery. You need to be seen or at least have a video meeting to decide if you are a good candidate before you make any trip arrangements.

Answer: Lip lift A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. From your photograph, you would be a good candidate for a lip lift.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
