Asked By:Graceful9891 in Dayton, Ohio

I am 47 years old and 180 pounds. Back in December my dentist split my lip during a filling procedure. I tried everything to help the scar heal well and overall it did except part of it was raised after the stitches and healed raised like a little bubble. Can this be fixed at all? How much would be approximately? Thank you
