Bike accident scar on philtrum. What are my options? (Photo)

December 10, 2016
Asked By:Uzair850 in Bangalore, IN

Met with an accident 1-1/2 yrs back, the helmet visor cracked and stuck my philtrum at two points almost splitting them. Applied contractubex, but the scar is still visible and while suturing the two parts of lips were misaligned forming a somewhat distorted shape and as there are no moustache hairs growing at that scar point, it looks ugly. Want to remove the scar, grow the moustache hair and align the lips correctly. Wondering what my options are. Thanks
