Will a lip lift fix my lips after having buck (prominent) teeth and braces? (photos)

April 10, 2018
Asked By:eles11_ in Irvine, CA

When I was little I had bad prominent buck teeth that would rest on the outside of my bottom lip when my mouth was relaxed and closed. I received braces (first chunky retainers, then train tracks then regular night time retainers) so my teeth are now straight, and the retainers helped to push my jaw forward a little. However I feel like my lips have a distorted shape and form. Would a lip lift fix this issue or is are there any non-surgical and non invasive solutions?
