When a lower lip is rolled out too far with the internal mucous membrane showing, lower lip reduction may be considered, depending on your examination. Consider re-asking your questiuon with photos. Thank you. Dr Joseph

Dear ex_pa, Is your surgeon easily available? If you can see him, he/she should see you for free as they already operated on you It does sound like scar tissue may be built up and they can recommend exercises or other medical treatments to help you Best regards, Nima Shemirani
