How many degrees do the angle between the nose and the upper lip fall after a rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Thanks for your question and your vulnerability. The nose can change a lot after rhinoplasty. I agree with your that you're nose is over rotated. I wouldn't make any decisions until around a year after surgery. If it's still too rotated for your liking, I'd consult with a facial plastic surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty- this can be fixed. Hope this helps and God Bless!Dr Robb

Thank you for this excellent question, and I am sorry you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your brand new rhinoplasty.The good news is, on the face, everything goes south over time.  Your nose was very recently operated on, and your tissue is going through the inflammatory stage where things tighten and are swollen for several months.  With time, the scar tissue in your nose will relax and there will be a decrease in the nasal labial angle.  Depending on how your surgeon did your rhinoplasty, there will be more or less relaxation.Noses are the central feature on anyone's face, and early post operatively, if someone absolutely loves their result, I cringe because things will change.  Early fears or dissatisfaction after a rhinoplasty is common because things will change, most often for the better.  Give time, time, and stay in touch with your personal plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question.  I would agree that currently your tip appears over-rotated.  However, it is far to early to say how this will settle out.  I would definitely avoid any decisions until you were at least 3-6 months out.  How much you can expect to see improve depends some on the approach used (open vs. endonasal), whether grafting was used for your tip support and what kind, the degree of swelling etc.  Also the perception of attractive tip rotation is also dependent on your physical height.  To some degree, all open rhinoplasties can have some over rotation early on, only to fall with time.Stay patient and optimistic and discuss these concerns with your surgeon.  If you are not satisfied, then make sure to visit with a board certified facial plastic surgeon well versed in rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty.  Best wishes.

Hello and thank you for question. It's not easy to predict with certainty the extent and direction of postoperative changes after rhinoplasty. It's too early in your recovery process and it can take up to 1 year for the final results. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Thank you for your question. The most ideal angle between the nose and the upper lip - known as the nasolabial angle - should be between 95 and 110 degrees. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

I see two things from your photograph.  The tip appears over rotated but this will come down a small amount as swelling and scar maturation improve over time--one year usually.  Secondly your upper lip is long and flat and is now more exposed with a lifted tip.  How this is managed would require a face to face consultation.  You may or may not be  good candidate for lip lift.

Your tip is definitely over rotated.  Assuming that this is the result of the operation and not how your nose started there is usually some relaxation and return towards the previous appearance with a rhinoplasty.  This is a fixable problem if it does not relax to your satisfaction but I would recommend waiting nearly a year before undertaking any revision.  You will get gradual change over the first year that may ultimately make your result acceptable to you.  Be sure to discuss your concerns with your original surgeon first and if you cant get a satisfactory response seek out an plastic surgeon experienced in rhinoplasty to have an in person evaluation.

Yes, I see what you are concerned about. Your nasolabial angle appears to be a bit obtuse ( >110 degrees).  It may change with sometime, but you need to give it a year before considering any sort of revision to allow for the soft tissues to settle down a bit.
