Asymmetrical smile 3.5 months after common lip flip, will it stay this way forever? (Photo)

Asked By:Gabriella1723 in Coral Gables, Florida

About 3 and a half months ago I’ve had a procedure done on my lips. It was supposed to be the common lip flip procedure and it was my first time ever doing it. After finishing immediately after it looked uneven. The doctor added a little more to try to even it out and sent me on my way, 3 days later my bottom lip froze up on the right side and it is still not even! I’m so upset because it has been such a long time & I don’t know if it will stay this way forever :( is this common ??
