Avatar n tn and i got three stitches on the chin beacuse of this my chin and lower lip got dislocated slightly .how can it be brought back to original position .
Avatar m tn 3 days ago I bit through my inner bottom lip - it didn't go all the way through but there is bruising on the outside of my lower lip. It was a big gash but i didn't go and get stitches straight away. 12hrs later I went to the clinic and they said they could not stitch the gash up because of tissue (not just a bump on the lip but actual tissue through the gap) protruding through the wound. They said the tissue would shrink within a few days and the lip would heal itself.
Avatar f tn First, he is allergic to mosquitos, not his fault, but he got bit on the lip and it swelled up like someone decked him. That lasted two days, the day it healed he thought it would be fun to jumpoff his friends couch, well his foot got stuck. This resulted in rug burn down the whole side of his face, I joked the school would call cps, because of the injuries. My son is 8 yrs old, well today a week after the fat lip his decided to climb the babysitters tree, while she ran inside, well...
Avatar f tn How long ago did this happen? My daughter had to get stitches yesterday in the same area of her lip. I'm wondering how long it will take to heal. She is six and worried about the wedding she is to be in this weekend.
Avatar n tn I felt and split my bottom lip open pretty bad, got a couple of stitches. Should I let it dry out to heal or should I keep it hydrated? Right now it's like a bloody scab that I'm just leaving be. I also cut the inside, they put stitches, healing ok I guess, just spongey. Should it be like this? This happened 2 days ago.
Avatar m tn Greetings, It has been 2~weeks since my minor surgery to extract the mucocele from the lower left lip., the stitches are gone now but my lip still seems a bit swollen still. It is noticeable because my friend pointed it out to me. I am wondering will this go away? will my lip be aligned normally again. Thank you for your time Dr. Bhupinder.
Avatar n tn Hi recently my dog bit me and i had a cut going down from just under my nose through my top lip, and i had a small op to remove some flesh from the wound on my lip and had it stitched back together. i had the stitches out a couple days ago so the scarrings stil new, but at the minute the part on my lip itself is stil quite wide and deep,i thought where they had joined it, it would have healed so the line was very thin.
Avatar n tn I split my upper lip and need 6 stitches about 2 and a half weeks ago and I got these stitches removed a week and a half ago. My upper lip feels stiff and I am finding it hard to smile as my upper lip isn't curving up. I am wondering is there anything I can do to make the lip less tight?
Avatar n tn About a year ago my friend and I were jumped by some military men, as a result i had 22 stitches done to my face. My teeth went through my goatee area and my bottom lip was pierced as well. Final result is I have a scar on the goatee area which I don't mind, but my lip is lopsided and it's very easily injured. I do surf a lot and I'm considering reconstructive surgery. Is it possible to not just fix the looks, but the weird bulge i have there and its fragileness?
Avatar f tn I was never advised of the risks of this surgery (that I could have permanent nerve damage or that I would be left with a huge ball like scar in the center of my lip. My lip is still swollen causing my lip to be exposed to the air (it feels raw all the time). The scar is hardening and it hurts ( I can also feel a band that runs horizontel along the incision line. I have seen an example of a mucocele surgery on the internet and it looks nothing like what this oral surgeon did to me.
Avatar n tn I recently had a through and through laceration in my lower lip. I recieved 8 stitches which all healed fine and were removed by a doctor. After aproximately 18 days after the accident my lip was healed farely well. A small scar and some hard scar tissue was all that remained. A couple of days later my lip became swollen next to the exterior scar. this is not scar tissue this is softer. I have had scar tissue on my lips and can tell the difference. This swollenness has been apparent for 4 days.
1355431 tn?1369975306 I have 2 cousins that were born with a cleft lip. Is this something that runs in a family or is it something that just randomly happens? I did have a 3d ultrasound done at 26 weeks but it was a bit blurry. ( not even sure if 3d can detect this) Anyway I posted a pic baby someone can tell something from it. Like always any advice on the topic would be very much appreciated.
Avatar n tn the nerves are badly bruised and need time to settle, especially seeing as there may be quite a bit of swelling due to the trauma and stitches. Worst case scenario......nerves have been severed in the gum. Was your inside gum split open or just your chin? You mentioned the bottom row of teeth are totally numb and yet they're "very very sensitive". Sensitive to what exactly? (Obviously sensitive to hardwood flooring.....I feel for you.......that *****).
Avatar n tn I had a fall last Sunday morning and knocked myself out on my glass bedroom table, I had to get 7 stitches to the left hand side of my forehead but since then I have been numb on my right hand side from under my eye, nose and top upper lip, will this resolve itself? I get stitches out on Tuesday but just thought I would ask if anyone had any advice?
Avatar f tn I had radiesse put on upper lip 1cc. Doctor made incision across all lip n left it uneven. Never took product out. 6 mo later re- due n it's been 5 days & looks bad. Looks different stitches or upper lip rather, looks pointy things coming down. Looks weird. Swelling down 20% purple. I'm worried. I realized I should of left it alone. What's the worst? I'm really worried. I was healed n looked okay before the second. Not like I wanted. Please advise???? Thank you!!
Avatar m tn I had a lip revision to remove scar tissue two weeks ago and it improved the shape of the lip. The lip area was very hard and numb post-op but has improved, except for the area where incision was made. The incision area is still hard, especially the area just below the lip that that bled when stitches came out. Is this normal and how long do you think the hardness should last?
Avatar f tn Not laughing at all. I've never had it happen to my nose, but I've had my upper lip go numb several times. And all kinds of strange sensations inside my mouth, including for the last 3 months. MS is not a respecter of our various locations, is it?
Avatar n tn I had an accident 20 years ago, fell and bit through my lip. I had a couple of stitches at the time and after, developped a large hard lump on my lip. I had it "removed" 8 years ago but there was still some bump left. So 3 weeks ago, I decided to do it again and for the last time. It looks flat in front of my lip and this is good BUT there is a lot of hard tissue inside the lip and some hard swelling in the inner lip. I can not even smile for real, it is so stiff.
2217169 tn?1371483722 ve followed your detox from the of and know you had a hard time with it, so congratulations on your 2 weeks and your cool stitches, lol. You deserve every bit of praise coming your way. I know what a milestone 2 weeks is so WELL DONE YOU.
Avatar n tn Basically I got punched and cut my lip open.. I had 6 stitches (around 6 years ago).. what I've got now is my lip looks a little lumpy in comparison to the other side of my lip and when the light is bright you can tell more.. it looks lumpy...It's not a massive scar also...I wanted to know what options I had...I want something done because it makes me paranoid..is there anyway I would be able to get the lumpy bit even and even looking lips... normal looking lips..
Avatar m tn Thanks a lot for your help, i am currently using a local thing here and its helping a bit. I just don't want to have a big ugly scar on my lip for a long time. Not cool.
Avatar m tn I am considering removing two moles on my upper lip as they can be irritating when I shave. I have been told by a friend that shaving would be the best course of action because they are raised and excision could distort my lip. I wanted to know if shaving would be the best course of action and what are my options for removing the mole, but keeping the shape of my lip? I know their will be scaring and possible pigment left over, but are their any other concerns I should be aware of?
Avatar m tn Ok so lip to lip mouth is not possible? Also what would be an example of blood to blood contact.
Avatar m tn I took a fall over three years ago. Ever since I have had a lump in my upper lip that increases and decreases in size yet is not penetrating the surface. I have been told it is probably a mucocele but if so can it be removed at this stage and is it more difficult to do?
