Q: Dr. Eppley, I had a lip elevation procedure that eliminated the nostrils, which is presumed to hide the scars inside the nostrils. I would like to restore the appearance of the nostrils by implants. Is this an effective way to do it?
A: Lost nasal thresholds are difficult to restore and the white increase by graphics or implants may or may not be effective to do so. This requests a very discreet projection line between the Columela and the interior of the nostrils.
