Had oral surgery 7 weeks ago that resulted in decreased oral cavity and some gum scarring on the right side.
Since then, I have a deep horizontal crease above my upper lip when I smile, it looks like another smile above the smile. Laughing is much worst.
Plus, the area between the mouth and nose is a lighter colour than the rest of the face and simply white when it is hot.
The area looks like standing out a bit compared to before. It is not swollen, I think the gum is holding it a bit away.
Did anyone experience this? What is it? Did it go away with time?
If not, is there anything that can be done in the future about it?
Lasering the damaged gum surface might help in the future? Or by then the face will adjust and doing anything will cause a new problem?
Have seen 3 doctors, noone seems to know what is the cause or of it will go away. They were oral surgeons. Who should I see who might not be scared to address the issue?
