Should I have a lip lift or revision rhinoplasty procedure first?

Creative160723Jun 5, 2023
Hello doctors, I am having my revision rhinoplasty in March 2024. This doctor does not perform liplifts, so i have to do this with another doctor. I am planning to do the liplift in October 2024 (6 months later). I am just worried my nose will change, because of the liplift. Is this true? Or is it better to do the liplift before the revision rhinoplasty? Kind regards

The short answer is that there is a technique that can elevate the lip without creating a larger lip and more red mucosal show. A photo of you smiling is going to be of more benefit than one with just your mouth open as that will also help determine the degree of tooth show.
