Is there a risk of permanently loosing feeling in your top lift after a Rhinoplasty?
Answer: Upper lip numbness after rhinoplasty surgery While temporary numbness in the upper lip after rhinoplasty is not uncommon, it almost always resolves on its own after a few months thanks to a process called reinnervation. The body has an amazing ability to repair itself. This is has been clearly demonstrated by reinnervation that generally happens spontaneously in which the injured nerves reconnect and regain their sensation. Good luck and best wishes.

Answer: Temporary tip numbness after rhinoplasty surgery may occur. Tip numbness is fairly common and may last several months. We have not seen any patients in our practice with permanent nasal tip numbness after rhinoplasty. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Answer: Resolves Over a Few Days Occasionally, numbness to the upper lip can be seen immediately after rhinoplasty. This typically resolves over a few days to a few weeks.

Answer: Is it possible to lose feeling in your top lip after a rhinoplasty? In our practice for over 25 years, we have never seen a permanent loss of feeling to the upper lip after a rhinoplasty procedure. Most patients do experience some degree of numbness that is temporary at the base of the nose for the first couple of months after the procedure.
