Will I Need New Dentures If I Get Cosmetic Surgery On My Face?
I have implant dentures so I am very happy with my smile. What I am not happy with is my face. This October I am going to have a few consultations with cosmetic surgeons.

Lynn – Dentures give support to your upper and lower lip. A cosmetic surgeon will evaluate your goals for your face and let you know if and how your dentures will affect the final result. Your cosmetic surgery should be tailored to enhance—not detract from—your smile.
