Are wrinkles in lips caused by dentists?

Question

I recently went to a dentist who stretched my mouth very wide to look at my teeth (I'm talking so hard that my lips felt like they were cracking and they hurt afterwards). I noticed that my lips were much more wrinkled afterwards and its been days and the deep lines from him stretching my lips have not faded at all. I was wondering if anyone else have noticed this problem after seeing a dentist and if there was anything you could do to make them go back to their original state. I know lips loose elasticity and collagen over time and stretching them that much cannot be good for them. I am only 21 but I am afraid he damaged my lips somewhat. I have NEVER had any dentists to stretch my lips as much as he did. They should be more gentle or look at one side at a time!

I know it sounds silly but I used to have very smooth lips and now they are wrinkled and being only 21 I know they will get worse with age. Will they go back?

Answer 1

yes, your skin is very elastic at 21. this is a one time incident and unless you are doing this regularly it will be back to normal. do you smoke? do you drink out of a straw daily? both of these acts require "puckering" which will eventually cause wrinkles around the mouth more so than normal.
make sure you moisturize your lips like you moisturize your face (use SPF20+ on both daily.) this will reduce your wrinkles overall in life!
good luck!

Answer 2

They are just really dry. Make sure you use chapstick or anything that is going to keep your lips moist. Once they regain moisture they should return to their natural appearance.

Answer 3

That doesn't happen to me. I think they will go back.
