I recently had a front chin done with an incision inside my mouth . The swelling has gone down to some extent and the thread in my mouth is still soluble, so I'm just waiting for it to melt and come out in about 3 weeks. If you look inside the mouth before the surgery, the gums near the lower teeth and the inside of the lip where the incision was made are vertical. It's thinly connected, right? Are you the same???
