Asked By:asc2686 in Washington, DC

I minor gum contouring last year but I was told I need bone removed in order to fully even out the gum. I am getting married in 2 months, and I do not want to risk being swollen, red, etc. at the wedding. Is it crazy to do this procedure now or should I wait until after? I thought about getting botox above my lip to lower the lip a bit but I'm worried it will distort my smile. I would love your professional and medical opinion and advice. Thank you!
