As we age the upper lip turns in and becomes thinner hiding the upper teeth. Increasing lip volume (lip augmentation) may not be sufficient to correct this problem.
The surgeon can hide the incision in your nostrils while removing excess skin and muscle to turn the lip back out and shorten the upper lip. This can be done in conjunction with permanent lip augmentation and fat transfer treatment.
I highly recommend Dr Fisher if you're looking for a physician. He is an excellent surgeon. My recovery for what I had done was hard and extensive. If you're in need of a septoplasty with functional rhinoplasty and have any desire to have cosmetic changes to your nose be sure to have that addressed. My breathing and quality of sleep is much improved. Overall I am very happy to breathe without difficulty.
