Would my lips/mouth change after jaw surgery?

Lip change : Potentially. Depends what you are having done. Also, the tissues can be managed to either enhance or control the degree of change.

Yes: Yes. Since the lips and mouth are supported in part by the teeth, then the appearance in these areas change. The changes should be positive.
