I have always had a protruding upper lip. In November 2016 I had a rhinoplasty and in June 2017, I had a revision rhinoplasty. Since these surgeries my upper lip has stuck out a lot more than it used to and has an outward curve to it. It always used to stick out before the surgeries but not this badly. Could it partly be swollen from the surgeries? I would like to have a dainty inward curve to my top lip which I didn’t have even before surgery. How can I go about achieving this? Thank you!
