The photos are dark and I cannot enlarge them but my best guess is that they are papilloma warts. I think you should have her examined by your vet to be on the safe side. This is not a normal presentation and I am a bit concerned that the lesions are symmetrical (same on both sides) and the lip looks slightly swollen.
