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.
