7 Years Post Jaw Surgery, Long Philtrum and Long Nose. Should I Get a Nose Job, Lip Lift, Both? (photo)

August 5, 2012
Asked By:killerwhale in Bay Area, CA

I had both upper and lower orthognathic surgery 7 years ago and both my nose and philitrum have lengthened since 1. Would a tip rhinoplasty my long nose? 2. I have no upper tooth display when my lips are parted and look very awkward when I speak. Would a lip lift help? Would my speech be affected? 3. I now have longer colds, acute bronchitis, and sinus pressure headaches. Is it possible for 1 surgeon to perform all these procedures at once? How long is recovery? Anything covered by insurance?
