Re: Injured Upper Lip

Ouch. When I was a kid (and kids heal faster than adults) I got a ball smack in the middle of my upper lip, and it took about two or three weeks to get back to halfway normal. Half a week for the swell alone.

The muscle tissue is traumatized and takes time to rearrange properly. Most likely there's a scar from bleeding that needs to heal.

Gently using your lips helps to get faster into shape - just like physical therapy will help other muscle injuries, but do stop as soon as things deteriorate.

I'm moderately confident that you'll be doing fine by the end of the month, unless there are complications. Maybe you can talk to your dentist next time you see him/her?
