Can the Corners of the Mouth Be Cut to Widen a Smile? What is the Approx. Cost of Such Procedure? (photo)

DaniellecoeJan 16, 2013

My smile is terrible. It's not wide enough for my big, but close together teeth! Also, the corners point downward. Is there a surgery that can widen it a little bit, and make me look happier?? When I smile, people don't think I'm smiling all the way. And when I am not smiling, people think there's something wrong, or that I'm mad.

An imbalance of the muscles of the lower face is causing this finding.  Specifically the depressor anguli oris and possibly the mentalis muscles. Botox treatments can help this very effectively, safely and affordably. Good luck!

This persistent wound may close on its own with proper wound care.  If there is suture or foreign material present, the wound will likely only close until the material is removed.  Internal sutures are most likely the culprit.

Firmness can be normal after lip reduction surgery in the early stages.  However, the lips should soften up relatively soon.  At 40 days post procedure, you should investigate this with your surgeon.
