Uneven Lower Lip Due to Scar Tissue on Inside, What are My Options? (photo)

Tags: options, scar tissue, uneven

I fell 14 years ago and bit through my lower lip. I am left with what I THINK is scar tissue on the lower wet part of the lip. This creates a bulge on the outside and my lip looks uneven. If I get the scar tissue removed, will this help with the uneven-ness? Could surgery make it worse? What is the procedure for something like this? Thank you in advance!

This is likely something that can be taken care of in the office under local anesthesia while you are awake. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you... more
