Hi, I had my lip pierced years ago which has left a very obvious hole just under my lip line, I know I will have to have some form of cosmetic procedure but what is the procedure called because I’m struggling to find anything around my area. Thank you

Early on it is not uncommon for scars to feel hard or be slightly raised. A single hard lump may represent a stitch or localized inflammation. In any event, it may be advisable to have it evaluated to ensure you are healing as expected.
Yes that can be revised and improved with different techniques either surgically or with injections. However, I would advise to wait at least 6 months before doing any revisions.
You can't consider something "healing lopsided" when only one side was injured, and that is the side that is swollen and healing. That would be called healing normally. It is normal to have swelling and firmness in the area during the healing process, and this can give the lip an asymmetric app...
