upper lip

[Cristina]

Dr Mingrone,
Since my last revision a couple of years ago, I've noticed the area between my upper lip and tip of nose to be kind of loose as if there's a loss of support in this area as well. What could have caused this and is there a way to correct it? I sometimes wonder if a muscle there has been cut.

Cristina,

Sometimes in fact there is a muscle at the base of the nose which is cut. This is usually done to prevent the muscle from pulling the tip down. The problem for which you ask requires knowledge of the exact manuevers which were performed in your primary surgery from the operative report.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this? My lip now hangs over and covers my top teeth and my gums show more now when I smile.

Yea ive had the same problem, a little nasal spine was cut, and my upper lip opens more now and can see the gums more not so bad, Though i had a really good smile before and regret i should have not asked for it as it was a recommendatin from me. But i dont think its worth gettin revision over it cant be tht bad can it?
It would be hard to resort something like that not point putting a cartliage in their.
