Do all lip lifts include more tooth show? (Photo)

March 9, 2017
Asked By:posteypost in California, MD

I have veneers and my teeth are quite long. They are fine when I smile, but when I laugh I show a lot of tooth. Im considering a lip lift but the tooth show is concerning to me. After my second rhino, I'm very bothered by how much smaller my upper lip seems so I def want a solution! My mouth itself is also very small and always looks tense, like I'm quenching my jaw. I'm thinking maybe a chin implant or sliding genioplasty will help along with the lip lift?
