Risks of Tissue Growth Removal from Inside the Lip?

User Avatar
Cinco500
I have some tissue growth inside my lip. My oral surgeon said it is probably caused by biting on lip many times and/or aggravated by my dental partials. What are the risks of removing that extra growth? I have sores there on and off. It almost feels like canker sores. It's been that way for 3 months now. Sometimes it feels sore; sometimes it doesn't. I don't want to take unnecessary risks if I don't have to. What risks come with this kind of tissue removal?
