How can I close my old lip ring hole? (Photo)

Question

I want the depression and hope from my old lip piercing to go away. If I get a stitch in it will it heal closed? I have friends that said the hole never went away

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You will need this surgically removed for the best improvement.  The scar will heal and can be lasered after to give an even smoother appearance.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Robert M. Tornambe, MD · Answer

Your only real option is excision of the hole and closure that will leave you with a small scar that should fade with time and be less noticeable and easier to cover with makeup that the hole. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon, good luck!

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I would correct your piercing scar with scar revision that includes removal of the epthelial tract and suture closure. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
