Had a lip lift, but still no tooth show. Anything I can do? (photo)

Asked By:neelyo'hara in Kansas City

I had a bullhorn lip lift two weeks ago. The doctor removed 5-6mm. I'm very pleased with the new shortened distance between my nose and mouth and my enhanced vermillion show, but I still don't have upper tooth show. Is there anything I can do to remedy this, or is this just my jaw anatomy and I have to accept it? (The problem is exacerbated because I do have some lower tooth show when my mouth is relaxed). I've attached before and after shots. Thank you!
