I had a medium sized mucocele removed from the inside of my bottom lip 2 years ago after biting it badly. The procedure was simple and it healed adequately from a health perspective. But now there is about a 1cm diameter spot from the outside of the lip into the inside which has no feeling, as well as a slightly raised scar on the inside, both of which are very annoying and also serves as a risk for biting it further. Can anything restore feeling and remove the 'extra' flesh?
Last month I had a horrible experience getting a mucocele removed. He hit a blood vessel and caused tissue to die as half of my lip was black. My lip has ended up being smaller with less tissue on one side with an indentation and scar running down it and my mouth doesnt meet properly. Can this be revised well? Also will my nerves recover? Half of my lip is numb
Hi. I am having a Mucocele removed tomorrow from my bottom lip that I have had for about 30 years. I am really worried about the surgery after reading some of the other posts about asymmetry and numbness. Is this a simple procedure and do many people have complications ?
Pleasant day! I'm from Kingston Jamaica and I had a lump removed from my lower lip exactly 35 days ago,I went back 9 days after the surgery & the Doc said its going well, However I've been feeling a lil tingling and numbness (not as bad as it was after a week or two) But my major concern is that my lower lip is still a bit swollen and slightly tingling after a lengthy 35 days and it's very bothering, I would really like to know what is the cause of that? is it something to really worry about ??
Tonsils removed 10 days ago. Right after surgery, I noticed that the inside of my lower lip was cut and experienced numbness in the middle section of my lower lip. The cut healed in a couple days but the numb feeling has yet to go away/improve. Will I get full feeling back in my lip? Is there anything I can do to speed along the process? Specific steroids/vitamins that might help? Couldn't find a category that fit but hoping damage to the mental nerve is familiar to many of you. Thanks.
