Doctor Recommendation for Lip Scar Revision in Texas
I am looking for a texas facial plastic surgeon who is very skilled with scar revision of the lips. I have a scar that runs from my upper lip to the base of my nose from a dog bite, the alignment of the vermilion border of my upper lip its slightly off and the scar is atrophic. It happened when i was 3, I am now 24. Im finding it hard to find a surgeon that will attempt to correct it. I dont expect the scar to be eliminated but i would really like the alignment to be improved.
