View allI have a small mucocele under 1 cm on my lower lip that doesn't seem to be going away. Is it something to worry about if I don't want to get surgery for it?
A small mucocele (mucous cyst) on your lower lip, under 1 cm, is usually not a cause for immediate concern if it's not causing any pain, discomfort, or interfering with your ability to eat, talk, or swallow. However, it's best to monitor it and see a dentist if it persists for more than a few weeks or if you notice any changes.

I'm 15 and my lower jaw is overgrown on one side. It doesn't affect chewing or cause sleep apnea but I'm really self-conscious about how it looks. I'm pretty small for my age at 4'10 and haven't grown in about a year. Since braces aren't an option, should I wait until I'm 18 for corrective surgery or is it okay to do it now?
ent opinion is advised o the patient.
