I developed keloids on my C-section scar, can some get keloids on their lips if they get a permanent lip implant?My doctor removed the keloid and sutured again and with some injections it got way better, super flat and small, no more keloids. I have been reading about keloids, I got my ears pierced when I was a baby and didn't get keloids. I am Hispanic, thank you!
Answer: Keloid Keloid is a genetic tendency to form thick big scars. Keloids go beyond the scar area to the normal skin. If you have the two genes then all your scars will be keloid. if you have one gene from one of the parents then some of your scars will form keloids. There are certain areas of the body that are privilleged and will not form keloid 1. eye lids 2. Pals and soles of feet 3: perineal area Lip skin potentially can. The red part of the lip rarely develops keloid.

Answer: Keloids Hi, It sounds like you may have had a hypertrophic scar which is different than a keloid. Keloids typically reoccur and grow out of the bounderies of the incision. I have never seen a keloid form on the lips. Best, Dr.S.
