How to treat hard scar tissue lump on lip? (Photo)

June 21, 2021
Asked By:enoble17 in Boise, Idaho

I was in an accident a month ago where my lip was cut open. A plastic surgeon sewed my lip back together and took the sutures out 2 weeks ago. My lip looks relatively back to normal but there is a large pea sized hard scar tissue lump on my upper lip that reduces some functionality and affects my smile appearance. Is there anything I can do to reduce this scar tissue or is is there any procedure that will help get rid of/ reduce the size? I am nervous this will be here forever.
