Question:
I just had gum grafting done on my upper front gums. It has been a week and I still feel a hard substance right under my nose. I can still see some swelling as well.

My smile is different (it goes down and looks unnatural) and the area right below my nose protrudes and feels hard and uncomfortable. I am completely unsatisfied with the way I look and feel. Is it normal for it to feel hard and protrude (and is this permanent scar tissue)? I am very scared that this cannot be undone. ...Visitor from NY

Answer:
One week after the surgery is not enough to evaluate the final result.
