I asked this question 9 months ago. Got one reply. Dr. said there are 2 reliable procedures that can raise the lower lip. Both supporting the chin (mentalis) muscle but he didn't go into detail. I'd like to know more about this. I'm 23/female with chin implant and permalip. My smile shows all my bottom teeth and I would like to fix this. My lips are not really aligned with my teeth. I hope that makes sense. Planning of getting upper lip lift and interested in anything that can lift lower lip.
