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

neelyo'haraNov 29, 2013
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!

Hi @BrigetteLAThis appears to be normal postoperative swelling. The swelling peaks at 3 days and 80% is gone by 2 weeks. Each day you should look better and better. Keep a low salt and low carbohydrate diet and drink plenty of water. At two weeks you may also want to start a lymphatic massage ...
