Will lips appear smaller after having your braces for teeth protrusion?

Orthodontist : Without seeing your face and your teeth it is impossible to answer how much change there will be in your lips. This is something that you should talk to, your orthodontist about. They can let you know what to expect from your treatment.

Possibly: If lips appeared extremely protruded due to position of teeth, then correction with braces the lips will appear to be less protruded and possibly smaller.
