Can I get my smile back after nerve cut or damaged? (Photos)

September 2, 2017
Asked By:mary123p in Apple Valley, CA

Full facelift, neck life, & lips/jowl areas, neck lump? Done mid July. Pics: trying to bare my teeth-impossible to bare bottom ones, showing how my bottom lip covers bottom teeth resulting in an overbite, soft lump drooping next to hard lump on neck. My p.s.used Botox to help. Before Botox 1 side of smile drooped dramatically & was extremely unattractive. I feel I need to see a neurologist speech no longer clear-always have to repeat trouble eating, soft droopy lump next to deeper hard lump on neck.
