I have some tissue growth inside my lip. My oral surgeon said it is probably caused by biting on lip many times and/or aggravated by my dental partials. What are the risks of removing that extra growth? I have sores there on and off. It almost feels like canker sores. It's been that way for 3 months now. Sometimes it feels sore; sometimes it doesn't. I don't want to take unnecessary risks if I don't have to. What risks come with this kind of tissue removal?
Most likely this tissue is benign.. Like you said sometimes from biting on the lip mucosa you can aggravate the situation and this can usually be easily excised. It can also be sent off to pathology for evaluation just to make sure it is not a cancer.
