Will a rhinoplasty fix my smile? Or do I need a lip lift? Please help (Photo)

March 2, 2023
Asked By:HiediJo in Scotland, United Kingdom

I think I have a slightly deviated septum, & quite a droopy tip of my nose. I have quite a long columella & bulbous tip. When I smile with my teeth, it is uneven, & my top lip doesn’t rise much, my nose tip angles down too. I really believe that my nose is the problem & by having rhinoplasty to remove some cartilage, lift my tip, shorten my nose & columella… it will lift my upper lip. Because when I smile & lift the tip of my nose with my finger - it corrects my smile?
