Hello,

I just had an osseous crown lengthening done yesterday on my upper row of teeth. I'm not in pain (thankfully!), but my face, or rather my mouth area, looks off. At rest, my lip hangs lower, and so there is more space between the bottom of my nose, and the top of my upper lip. It's quite a noticeable change in my appearance. I see a darkened line just above my upper lip, that spans the length of the lip (this is visible with my mouth closed, I haven't been pulling at my lip or anything, haha) I also can't smile because of stitches, and I was wondering if all this was normal/permanent?

Thanks!
