ANSWER Protruded Mouth Correction
With mouth protrusion, the area around the lips sits forward, breaking the profile line from nasal tip to lips to chin, and closing the mouth can look strained. ANSWER Plastic Surgery analyzes the cause and degree of protrusion and corrects the balance of the entire midface, including the nose and chin.
When Protruded Mouth Correction is needed
If any of the following apply to you, we recommend a specialist consultation.
The mouth looks pushed forward
In profile, the lips sit ahead of the line connecting nasal tip and chin
Chin creases when closing the mouth
Closing the mouth strains the chin muscle and creates wrinkles
Accompanied by a receding chin
A set-back chin makes the protrusion more pronounced
Profile concerns
The line around the mouth bothers you in profile photos
CUSTOM DESIGN
Correction direction designed from the cause
Mouth protrusion has varied causes — teeth, alveolar bone, lip soft tissue — and a receding chin or low nose can accentuate it. ANSWER analyzes the contributing factors with profile measurements, plans a harmony-centered correction including the nasal tip and chin, and candidly advises orthodontic treatment when that is what you need.

- 2Chin augmentation considered alongside when needed
- 3A natural profile pursued without overcorrection

Frequently Asked Questions
QDoes a protruding mouth always require two-jaw surgery?
The right treatment depends on the cause and degree. Severe skeletal protrusion may need orthodontics or jaw surgery, while soft-tissue or proportion issues can improve with nasal tip and chin correction. We advise the right direction after diagnosis.
QCan nose surgery alone make the protrusion look milder?
Raising the tip and augmenting the chin can make the mouth look comparatively less protruded. With severe protrusion there are limits, and we explain the realistic range at your consultation.
QHow should I eat during recovery?
Right after surgery, stick to soft foods and avoid spicy or hard foods for 1–2 weeks. We provide detailed precautions for each stage of recovery.
