Big Droopy Hanging Bottom Lip. What Procedure Can Fix This?
My lip hangs a lot and I am concerned about looking like I am mad all the time. I look great when I smile but if I have my lips together in a relaxed state, the picture you see is the effect and I hate it. I've already gone in to see a doctor about my low brows. (Another angry looking trait). But does not do any procedure on the lips except for injections. Please help.

You can have your surgeon simulate the effect of an implant by injecting saline into the chin. This will last a few hours but give you an idea of what a chin implant would do. You may...

Droopy lips
While you need a full exam to make a diadnosis, part of your anatomy indicates a relatively short and recessed chin. The causes two situations that accentuates your lip. First, the lack of support under the lip causes it to droop. Second, it might indicate a need for the muscles of the lower lip, specifically the mentalis muscle, to try and support the lip and this cause it to be pushed forward and curled down. You can do a lip reduction but a chin augmentation, if appropriate, would support...
