I show bottom teeth too much when lips at rest. Can I fix it? (photos)

Asked By:Sarahh96 in Haleyville, AL, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri
I had double jaw surgery w/ genioplasty a month ago. Because of my short upper lip I've been told that my lip incompetence might stay after surgery but my main concern is I show my bottom teeth too much. When my lower lip naturally closes my bottom teeth I see visible strain on my chin and it's unattractive. It's even worse when I close my mouth. Can chin fillers/botox with some lip fillers fix this?

Fillers can often absorb water in the first few days causing lumps or irregularities. I suggest applying Plato's Bruise Balm twice daily for a few days after injecting my patients. If the filler lumps do not resolve, then a small injection of Hylenex usually can correct an HA filler that is ...
After only two days, swelling and mild irregularities are not uncommon. For the areas with lumps, I would recommend gently massaging them between two fingers a few minutes a couple times per day.
