Why Did my Upper Lip Get Longer After Rhinoplasty?

May 22, 2010
Asked By:3302anon in New York

After rhinopalsty my upper lip covers my teeth when at rest. When I smile it does not lift as much as it did before. I also notice when I speak my lip moves out and forward instead of up and down like it used to. My nasolabial angle was decreased as well. Can it be changed back?
