Veneers Pushing Upper Lip out Too Far, What Can Correct This?

I had veneers put in over my already straight teeth no grinding of naturale teeth. Mine did not show anymore. Now mouth protrudes out like a pussy cat dentist created an overbite my natural teeth line up no overbite. very unhappy teeth nice mouth awful

Non prep veneers are excellent restorations placed in the right environment.  The teeth need to have a profile that will allow for the extra thickness of the veneer.  If they don't, the lip contour can be affected.  The key with no prep or prep veneers is proper diagnosis and placement of excellent temporaries so you get to experience the new length and contours to see if they are satisfactory.  Once the final restorations are placed they can be shorted slightly but that is about all you can do to them.

Do Small Implants Look More Natural? I am an A Cup Now.

Hello! I'm getting surgery in a month and I'm not sure about the size yet. My main objective is to obtain the most natural look. I am 170cm, my bra size is 80A or 32A, chest contour 76cm and breast contour 82cm. I'm planning to get 140cc or 175cc under the muscle, anatomicals but now I'm worried that they might look to separate o like two tennis balls in my chest. What do you think? I just want to get a size bigger and don't want to get big breasts, just my size but fuller!

While it's true that really big implants can look really fake, I think at times, too small of an implant looks even more tennis ball...We saw that a lot in the 80's when very small implants were used....and 140cc or even 175cc are really small....I think too small in most women who are an A cup....So for my patients I suggest they go a little bigger and a little wider....

Is It a Good Idea to Get Lipo Before Marriage and Having Children?

I am 23 years old, I have never been married nor I have children. Do you recomend having a liposuction before marriage and having children. Will in the future affect me having children?

Many women get Lipo before kids and if your weight remains fairly stable , you should get a nice , long lasting result....Also, the younger you are, the better quality of your skin and many women see the benefit in that!
