If one practices irregularly, then the lip tissue remains (or returns) to a soft state such that extended playing can attack abd hurt the lip. Surely it is all very like the way the body develops callouses, eg following blisters on the hands, to protect against tissue attack.
With a lot of repeated playing, the lip tissues probably firm and toughen up, resulting in no future lip damage, in spite of applying the same support from the lower teeth as the player did before, causing the lip damage.
The lip problem is probably produced by a pattern of playing that is spasmodic in some way. We cannot all practice x hours per days, many times per week!
I rather doubt that double lip can overcome the problem for a spasmodic player! It requires a lot of tone in the lip tissues.
IMHO
