Did your lips change after surgery?

[Leebie3]

Just wondering if anyone has noticed their lips change in shape and/or fullness?

[survenant]

My lower lip has changed a lot. I used to a have "large" lower lip. Now it looks more normal. My lower lip is now further in my mouth (don't know if that makes sense) so basically it looks smaller.

Just to clarify, once the swelling has gone down, the "volume" of my lower lip stayed the same, it's just that the position has changed a lot which gives it a smaller look.

was that for under or over bite?

[survenant]

underbite + long face syndrome + gummy smile.

I suppose that it could be different for everyone..

Upper jaw was advanced (too much), lip got bigger.

[bmueller]

Upper jaw moved up and forward, fuller more visible upper lip (from being bumped out).

My lower lip now appear smaller after mansibupar setback to correct underbite. Your lips are supported by your teeth so if your jaw moves forward or back, it will look different for sure.

Same as bmueller, upper jaw moved up and forward. My top lip is more prominent now, in a good way. Looks much better than before.

hmmm I'm only having lower surgery now but I'm hoping it doesn't make my upper lip thinner.. it's already quite thin.. especially when I smile :s
