Can a Labial Frenectomy Cause the Space Between the Nose and Upper Lip to Widen in Older Patients?
franticinphoenixJan 12, 2013
I swear my upper lip has dropped after this laser procedure was performed by highly competent periodontist. The purpose was to correct the gum line of the two front incisors. I have had Botox treatments to the upper lip for the past few years. Patient age 58. The literature suggests this doesn't normally happen, yet I'm quite certain this has been the result of the frenectomy. Has this happened to anyone else?
