When I was 14 years old I fell while roller stating and bit through my bottom lip. I never got stitches my parents just let it heal on it's own. Till this day it healed, but left me with a big scar tissue on my bottom lip with a hard tissue bump that is very noticeable. How can I fix that to make my lips even again. I always try to hide my smile or bit down my bottom lips to make it unnoticeable. I can't even wear lip sticks or lip gross without my bump showing. Please help so I can get this fix.
