Can My Lost Nasal Sills Be Restored?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I had a lip lift procedure that removed the nasal sills, presumably to hide the scars up inside the nostrils. I would like to restore the appearance of the nasal sills by implants. Is this an effective way to do so?

A: Lost nasal sills are hard to restore and whether augmentation by graft or implants may or may not be effective at doing so. This requires a very discrete line of projection between the columella and the inside of the nostrils.
