I had a lip pulling problem as a child which resulted in my lower lip being puffy and turned outwards. I basically feel like my lips are in a permanent pout. I haven't seen any problems like mine online, most people either have too large lips or jaw problems leading to lip incompetence. My issue is that the lip itself got pulled out and down due to repeated trauma. Is this in the domain of a plastic surgeon to fix? If not are there other options?
