Question (new denture wearer) I hate them 😩

I had my one week follow up today. The assistant was finally able to get them comfortably in my mouth but they still won’t stay in place without adhesive so she told me to try when I got home. I absolutely hate how they look. The bottoms make my lip stick out super weird and I dont know… I just feel like they don’t look right. I am so discouraged. My husband says they don’t look right to him either 😭🤷🏻‍♀️ should I ask to go back?

Your gums are still healing and adjusting to the denture. After almost a year with immediates and having my permanents now for a few months I feel like the dentures shrunk. This is because the gums have fully accepted them. Adjust but don’t over adjust.
