Scar tissue lump in lip

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Is it possible to remove the excess tissue from lip?

I had stitches removed from my upper lip 16 years ago. Underneath the upper lip there is a lump of tissue that protrudes out from under my lip. Is it possible to get that extra tissue removed?

Yes it is possible to remove the tissue from the lip and perform a scar revision. In some instances if the scar tissue is the problem, steroids can be injected to soften and flatten the scar.
