Upper lip mucosa showing after rhino. Is the only treatment for this an upper lip lift? (Photo)

Asked By:Kind295502 in Las Vegas, Nevada

I'm 2 years post op from a rhinoplasty. My nose used to droop and my upper lip would curl inwards when I would smile with teeth. I believe because the muscle was cut during my rhino, now when I smile with teeth the mucosa always shows underneath my upper lip. Is the only real treatment for this an upper lip lift to then constantly expose the mucosa, then it dries and becomes my 'normal lip'? Or anything else? Is this common? Thanks
