Nasal flare and pull down after lip lift. Is there is something less invasive than a rhinoplasty that can fix this? (Photo)

Unfortunately a lip lift can drag down the nostrils making them appear more open. An alarplasty to narrow the nostrils would improve the overall appearance

I recommend you wait 6 months before you consider any revision. The lip lift can be redone using a suture to shorten the horizontal width of the nose.

Considering that your scar is still fresh and in its worst stage regarding size, hardness, it should be allowed to mature for at least 8-12 months; it may significantly improve in time. However, if that does not happen, scar revision should be considered. Hope this helps.

Surgical outcomes can take a long time to get adjusted to. For that reason, I recommend you slow down and not jump into conclusions regarding secondary procedures within the first couple of years.
A lot of cosmetic surgical procedures are permanent and irreversible. Despite dissatisfaction and potential regret of having previous procedures, patient should be careful looking for surgical corrections of side effects from previous procedures or requesting revision surgery prematurely.
In general the longer you wait the better off you’ll be regarding adjusting to the outcome abd making good decisions regarding potential secondary surgery.
I don’t think a rhinoplasty is going to correct the outcome of your lip lift.
For now I suggest waiting at least a year preferably longer before reassessing.
