Surgical Procedure That Can Make a Mouth Less Wide?
Is there a surgical procedure for making the mouth less wide (horizontally)? I know a lip reduction reduces the lip vertically, so to speak, but if the mouth is too wide (horizontally), is there anything that can be done about that? The only thing that comes to my mind is to sew together the oral commissures, but that seems a little extreme (not to mention the scar tissue that'll inevitably be involved). Thanks so much!

No obvious method for reducing width of mouth
There is no well described option for reducing the width of the mouth. Wedges from the upper or lower lip can be removed bu this would create the appearance of a cleft lip and create unnecessary scarring.
