six months ago i was assulted and had my face beaten severely. the swelling went down in a week but my lip that was injured most, has become permanently swollen. the upper lip is now larger than the lower. and it's not just the lip itself either, its the skin above the lip also. its much thicker than the rest of the skin that surrounds the lip. i've seen boxers and fighters will swollen lips (Wanderlei Silva for good example) but i only have my upper lip that way. this is terrible. i am going to go see a plastic surgeon and a maxiliofacial surgeon on monday but was wondering if you guys thought that the damage was permanent and also which doctor's opinion should i regard more highly on- the plastic surgeon or the maxiliofacial? thank you in advance.
hey man, i had the exaclty same problem, in fact worse, bcause im using braces, so my lip was cutten and now is fat ....
hows your now? what u did??
thanks bro
