My smile feels tight and forced my upper lip gets taut and recedes into my mouth.visited an oral surgeon who says my bite looks ok, didnt recommend anything. Is there any alternative to a lip lift? Is it legitimate? if so, would cutting the frenulum create more tooth show, even if I dont already have a frenulum that extends down into my incisors?
I am 17 days post-op following a bullhorn lip lift and my nose feels shrink-wrapped as scar tissue forms. My whole face feels tight and I can't smile very wide or make normal facial expressions without feeling the tension. I've heard that you should massage scars/keep them flexible and I've also heard that scars heal better if you don't move too much during the healing process. I'm afraid that the scar tissue will distort the base of the nose if left unchecked?
Hello, I know swelling lasts for up to 6 months and that final results aren't to be expected till then, however, I would like to know if my lip, specially the middle part will likely drop down at least 2 or 3 mm. I feel like it is way too lifted in the middle and I look like a bunny. My doctor says it will still go down but It does feel very tight and I have a hard time smiling and pronouncing certain words . Is it just swelling and will look more normal? Thanks
I found this procedure on the internet and am looking for someone who performs it as I have unilateral paralysis and have a general droop on that side (including specifically my upper lip on that side): Lip Lift Suspension: In this procedure, a single suture is used to elevate the upper lip- in other words- a thread is used to tighten and anchor the tissue in place. This procedure leaves no scar and it is reversible if you are unhappy with the result.
