Long philtrum after rhinoplasty?
Plastic Surgeon
Answered on 17th Jan '24
Changes in the length of the philtrum (the area between nose and upper lip) may follow rhinoplasty, as it is a result of modifying nasal structure. Although rhinoplasty concerns the nose, this operation may affect neighboring face lines. This largely depends on the techniques that are used, individual anatomy and methods of healing. Your surgeon can help you understand whether the observed changes are viewed as normal, offer comfort or advise on further revision based on your overall situations.

It is usual for this to happen, we shall limit the contents of this answer to solely discussing the underlying causes:
- Swelling, a severed anterior nasal spine, a cut labii superioris or anterior nasalis muscle, or a combination of these events.
- Interference with the upper lip's movement and swelling of the upper lip are quite common post-rhinoplasty and can resolve after a short period.
- The nasal tip could have been raised as well.
