The problem that you describe should be amenable to a relatively simple scar revision. A plastic surgeon can remove the scar and put one or two stitches to realign the skin of the lip. You should schedule an appointment with a local facial plastic surgeon. Lasers and creams are not likely to address this problem.
Removing scar from lip piercing?
I just took out my lip piercing last year and I have a scar, not a normal scar though. My scar looks like there's a hole in my lip because there is some skin missing from the peircing. lol, I know gross. Is there anything to get rid of this? Creams, lasers, anything?

I've heard there's a relatively inexpensive cosmetic surgery for a minor lip ring scar (relatively inexpensive to other aesthetic surgeries, not necessarily cheap, but i've heard of some in the range of just a couple hundred dollars). I have the same thing. Gauged up to a 14, had it for about a year, and took it out. Now it just looks like either the piercing is still there without a ring, or I have a huge, odd black head just under my lip. It does very slowly reduce size by itself over time, especially i you keep it well moisturized, clean, and uninfected during the healing with vitamin ointments, moisturizers, anti-bacterial ointment and even scar removal gels (mederma) but it'll go away on its own entirely, so if you're looking for your old complexion back, look into the surgery.
