hi there, in 1997 i was sent to an oral surgeon to have infection removed from 3 bottom teeth. i was cut open then stitched up. this has left me with some discomfort and the bottom right side of my lip has thinned and is shrunk with the stitching inside my mouth. i also dribble a bit from the corner  of my mouth when i am drinking water because that part of my lip has lost its chunkiness with the surgery. it has got me depressed over the years for the infection was still there and i eventually had to get the 3 teeth extracted.  i wear a plate now. i live in hope that some day i will be fit to get some kind of surgery that will losen every thing up again inside my mouth and give me some comfort back again. is this possible or am i doomed to live with this for the rest of my life? kind regards aidan
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Fullness of lips can be achieved by argumentation therapy. Please visit your dentist and get yourself examined. Clinical evaluation is very much required in your case so that suitable treatment can be planned. Prosthetic appliance can also be given in your case, but this can be done only after prosthodontists evaluation. Hope it helps. Take care.thanks.
