My upper lip has dropped after septo-rhinoplasty. My surgeon shortened my nasal spine, de projected my nose, my collumella dropped subsequently, &de- rotated my tip. these are what I believe led to my lip dropping.My lip has lost its shape & it changed my look for the worse. When I lift and pull forward my columella just a bit with my finger, my lip perks back up into its previous shape. Is there a procedure that can lift my lip by lifting the columella? I wouldn't mind my nose being lifted with it, too

Answer: Lip lift for the long lip after rhinoplasty.

There are methods that are commonly used to thin the skin as well as the framework to refine the nose in a very natural way without obvious tell-tale surgical signs.
Dear Maddly,For a better balance to the facial features and a better profile you need chin implant. the procedure is usually done with rhinoplasty . For the nose, the skin looks a bit thick and it needs shaping.
Anything that raises your heart rate or blood pressure, mazy cause bleeding. That is why we have patients refrain from exertion during the early post-op.
