Question

I wore braces for my overbite and they were perfect, but I was in an accident where my face was bruised badly and now I have a protruding mouth that is wide, my nose is also wide and teeth look terrible. I had ultherapy and the impact of the accident threw all of that work out as you can see bags, smiling lines, and neck. When I had it done it looked great but the accident ruined the work. You can see the mouth is monkey looking.

Dear haro65 in San Francisco, California:
It may be that the accident caused swelling, which has not abated. It is not clear how long ago this happened. The nose would be wider and the lip would be swollen.  I am not sure how the old therapy would have affected the appearance.  
  
The mouth being “monkey-looking” may all be due to swelling and I think you would need to have an examination by a qualified specialist.  That specialist would be a head and neck surgeon or a plastic surgeon.  They will be able to look inside your nose and under the lip and cover the whole territory to decide what happened.  It is doubtful that it will be permanent.  
  
Best wishes,
