Weird bags under the lips after braces removal. Why, what is it and will lip filler improve it? (Photo)

Question

Hey I’m currently 22 years old and I’ve noticed that after my braces were removed I got some kind of weird saggy bags under my lower lip. I had 4 teeth removed due to an overbite and open bite. What is that ? Can it go away with some sort of procedure? Will lip fillers help me improve it ?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Most likely the puffiness, you see below your mouth was there all along, it’s just that you never really paid attention to it as is the case with almost all individuals. Now that the braces have come off, you start to see things which were not perceived by your eyes before. I would look at your photographs from before you had braces placed And I am sure you will see exactly the same. This is just the anatomy of your face and there it is nothing that should be done about it. I hope this helps and good luck from New York city plastic surgery
