@louisejewell Did you have asymmetry - mouth not centered under nose or pulling to the side where the stitch line is. I had a straight-line stitch from the bottom of my upper lip to my nostril so the left philtrum was impacted as well - line that runs between your nose and your lip. Everything pulls to the left where the stitch line is. It is very, very uncomfortable. Did your lip function fully return and if so how long did that take? The left side of my lip does not move up and down with the right currently. Thank you for your reply. Hearing other experiences is helpful. How long was the healing process where things mostly looked healed up.
