Nose job, lift lip, and more? (Photo)

Question

I'm a 49 yo female looking for some guidance on what cosmetic surgery procedures I would need to help balance out my long face. I was thinking rhinoplasty, lip lift, and chin reduction??? TIA :)

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

Based on your photos, you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty. The bump can be taken down and the length of the nose reduced so it is overall smaller, thinner, and better shaped, all while keeping it looking natural. The chin is OK. A lip lift can work for you, but I would do it as a separate procedure. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Thank you for your question. This is my answer. Your nose is long and has bump on the nasal bridge. Also alar rim is retracted, which is the cause of nostril show from frontal view.What is recommended for your nose: bump reduction, osteotomy, tip lifting using septal cartilage graft and alar rim graft to cover retracted alar rim.After this surgery, your nose will look much younger, and your profile line will be very feminine.

A rhinoplasty and a mini facelift would be nice procedures that would provide significant aesthetic improvement. The goals of the rhinoplasty would be to improve symmetry, refine your tip and reduce excess dorsal fullness and projection.  The mini lift would lift your cheeks and jowl area for a more balanced fullness in your face.

From these photos one could suggest rhinoplasty and lip lift. In the hands of a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in rhinoplasty, you can expect significant improvement. In person consultation is recommended. Good luck.

I'm not sure if any of these procedures would address your concerns about a "long face". Adding volume to your cheeks may lead to a more balanced facial appearance. We are not fans of lip-lifting since some people develop visible scarring. Rhinoplasty surgery should be reserved for severe dissatisfaction with your nasal appearance, and chin reduction does not appear necessary. Hope this helps you. Dr Joseph

In person exam is essential. Based on limited photos- you appear to be a candidate for Rhinoplasty with possible lip lift. The chin is difficult to evaluate as the photos are too cropped. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS

I can see that a rhinoplasty would be worthwhile. I don’t care for the lip lift though. I know it’s a fad these days but it can distort the hose and often doesn’t accomplish what you think it will.

Robert Ciardullo, MD · Answer

? Are you a good candidate for Rhinoplasty? Based on the photos you show your nose is slightly overprojecting which should be rather straightforward rhinoplasty. Your chin appears just slightly strong. You could probably leave it alone or have a small reduction of the mentum. Your upper lip is slightly long. Some would consider a lip lift others would discourage it due to the scarring. If you are considering the lip lift you should weigh the pros and cons and research the variations in scarring that can occur

There is a sagging on the skin of your face due to a decrease in subcutaneous tissue. In addition to aesthetic nose surgery and lip lift surgery, facelift operation and facial fat grefting on your face will provide a meaningful and positive change in your appearance

Ihsan Turkmen, MD · Answer

Although your face is long, the lack of volume in your middle face increases this posture even more. My first suggestion would be rhinoplasty to ensure facial integrity. Your philtrum area looks longer, the lip lift will add a more youthful look to your face. chin reduction may not be required, it would be better to perform an examination for this. I recommend fat injection to the face together with rhinoplasty so that we can support the cheekbones and give the face a more lifted effect. Lip filler will also provide support to the middle face area. Thus, the weak and long appearance is eliminated.
