Lip Reduction #3

Our beautiful patient is seen 7 months following functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery., and one month following upper lip reduction surgery. She had chronic nasal obstruction and she was dissatisfied with her crooked, wide nasal appearance and her bulbous droopy tip. The rhinoplasty techniques we used included a columella strut graft to support her tip, and a left spreader graft to aid in nasal straightening, and bilateral lateral crural strut grafts to support her congenital external nasal valve collapse, and alarplasty to narrow her nostrils. We also performed a turbinate reduction. You can see a narrower nasal appearance in her bridge tip and nostrils, and on profile, you can see that her nasal tip is no longer droopy.

She also has a history of silicone injections to her lips performed elsewhere. He was dissatisfied by her overcorrected and lumpy upper lip appearance. We performed an upper lip reduction surgery in the office with local anesthetic, and one month later, you can see a natural looking upper lip appearance. She has a small bump in her right lower lip that will be addressed soon.
