This lump was discovered recently, a few weeks after he had a titanium prosthesis ($850, about 1.13 million won) installed on his teeth.
According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, Kanye recently uploaded a video to his Instagram story in which he walks through the airport with his wife Bianca Sensori (29 years old). People who watched the video of him noticed something protruding from his lip above his titanium implant. There were many reactions asking what the lump on his lip was.
While not accurate, medical experts who saw it said it was similar to a lump caused by an allergy or herpes (HSV), and it was also pointed out that the titanium implant itself could be the cause.
“One of the most common causes of lip lumps is herpes (HSV) infection,” Dr Praveen Sharma, dental specialist and scientific advisor to the British Dental Association, told the Daily Mail. “It can be caused by physical trauma or an allergic reaction: “It could happen,” he explained. According to him, this goes away on its own without treatment.
HSV type 1 affects up to 70% of people at some point and is usually spread through mouth-to-mouth contact. Causes cold sores and oral blisters. Type 2 is the rarest type and is primarily sexually transmitted and primarily causes genital herpes.
Dr Sharma said: “If a lump on your lip persists for more than two or three weeks, it could be lip cancer and you should get tested. Common risk factors for lip cancer include long-term exposure to sunlight, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking,” he said.
“One of the causes of these lumps on the lips is some form of dental trauma,” said dental nurse Karen Coats, spokeswoman for the British Oral Health Foundation. It can also be caused by pressure on the lips, old piercings or sports injuries. Her theory is that Kanye’s titanium prosthesis may have shifted and caused trauma to the surrounding tissue.
Kanye West’s upper lip bump isn’t actually anything new. The area has been expanding for several years, but you can see that it has recently become larger.
Dr Emma Wedgeworth, dermatologist and spokesperson for the British Skin Foundation, said: “It could also be a pyogenic granuloma (small raised red bumps on the skin), which can occur after recent dental treatment, or a mucocele or edematous cyst , which can develop in the salivary glands: “It is a small soft swelling that occurs due to trauma,” he explained, adding: “It is impossible to make a firm diagnosis, but it is possible that it is a bump or a cyst.”
Meanwhile, the grills (Grills/Grillz) covering Kanye’s teeth are coverings that decorate the teeth. It is generally made of gold or other precious metals and then decorated with gems such as diamonds. Most products can be inserted and removed from the teeth, but some products are fixed completely with a special dental adhesive.
But the risks are also considerable. Dentists warn that these tooth covering devices run the risk of becoming “plaque traps.” If bacteria build up inside it, it can cause tooth decay, bad breath and gum disease.
Additionally, the adhesive that attaches the “grid” may contain harmful chemicals that can cause further damage to your teeth and gums.
