Lip swellness
Ever since I was a child, I have bitten my upper lip when I am anxious. Due to this, my upper lip has become permanently enlarged and swollen. When i bite it, it seems li have balls in my lip and i can feel something like a heartbeat. It is not really noticeably except when I smile or when I try to perk my lips. Is there anyway to make my lips normal again?

Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
It seems that areas of Fibrosis have developed inside your lips due to chronic injury caused by lip biting. It would be unethical to provide a rational diagnosis without a look at the clinical condition and without a proper clinical examination of the lips. But one thing is for sure that there are many corrective surgeries which can be performed to rectify the problem that you are getting bothered with. You can contact a Cosmetic dentist or an experienced oral surgeon or a plastic surgeon to discuss the case in detail.
