Tiny Scar on Lips?

I have a scar, actually three small scars on my bottom lip, i believe my teeth caused it from sucking my lips..it is a bad habit that i adopted as a child an as an adult i still do it...the scars are noticeable and i always have to wear a pink tinted lip gloss or balm to try to disguise it, but sometimes i can still see it...what should i do?

Lip scars can be revised and improved with treatment

Lip scars are best excised and revised with layered skin closure to prevent further scarring. I have used this technique with success.
