" After my surgury my nose and lips and also my tougue went back down to normal..The size increase was like swelling and went away quick.My teeth are awful,I hope to get something done about the spacing between them. I have already had braces twice in my life, don't really want to go that route again..I would wait and see what happens with the nose, after mine my nose is different because of the surgury. "
