Asked By:anna173 in New York, NY

I have a concern with my procheilon region of my lips. It seems to be big, but its been like this for the longest. I used to pull my upper lips (procheilon) with my bottom teeth as a child due to childhood anxiety. But now I notice when I take pictures its noticeable. I've had pictures of me as before as a toddler and my lips did not have it. Is it possible trama to the lips when you continually bite it?
