What is a Double Lip Surgery?

One of the most uncommon types of lip irregularity is double lip. A malformation of the top or lower lip in which a fold of labial mucosa is visible at rest or when smiling is referred to as a double lip. The top lip is more usually afflicted than the lower lip, and both lips are only seldom impacted. Double lips are categorized by two masses of hyperplastic tissue on either side of the midline, which might be asymmetrical. Congenital or acquired double lips are also possible. Trauma or behaviors like licking lips between diastema or ill-fitting dentures can cause acquired deformity. The congenital double lip is thought to be present from birth and becomes more noticeable after teeth eruption.
