Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hi , No the lip was not fixed because my OS is still hopeful that once the braces come off the lip will heal. I really don't see this happening, but he is the pro and knows what is best. He stated that if not, it would be a simple procedure to fix it a little later. Actually right now my lips are so swollen, so I am kind of glad he didn't try and fix the droopy lip. I really can't believe all the swelling that I am having today. It looks like my nose is broken from all the swelling. I guess you can call me Quasimodo now..(haha) Take Care, --Caboose > > > > > > > > Hi All, > > > > > > > > I just got back home from surgery.
