Can a rhinoplasty also fix protruding lips?

Dear Sweet1984~Thank you for sharing your question. A rhinoplasty will not change the actual position of your lips. However, increasing your nasal tip projection will change the relative positions of your nose and lips. This should soften the appearance of your lip protrusion on profile view. Also, sometimes Asians have a deficient premaxilla (the bone above your upper front teeth), and placing a graft in this area can change the slope of the lip on profile view and make it appear less protruding.  It's difficult to give a more specific answer without photographs or an exam.Best wishes for your surgery and recovery!Sincerely,Amy Hsu

A rhinoplasty will not change the appearance of protruding lips. This issue is repaired with a procedure called cheiloplasty. If anything, making the nose smaller may make the lips appear larger. From here, I would recommend the following:1) Sharing photos2) Obtaining an opinion from a board certified facial plastic surgeon who performs both procedures.I hope this helps, and best of luck.

There are many ways to alter facial appearance. A rhinoplasty would have no effect on the lips. It would be useful to have a picture posted so as to obtain a more specific opinion.

Rhinoplasty won´t fix protruding lips.  They are two entirely different procedures.  There is a procedure called Cheiloplasty that will reduce the size of the lips.  Dissolvable stitches are placed on the inside of the mouth and there will be lip swelling that can last anywhere from a week to ten days.

Lip surgery and  nasal surgery are not related. A rhinoplasty will not fix protruding lips. For many examples of rhinoplasty, please see the link below
