Lip lift procedure causing ingrown hair and cysts? (Photo)

February 5, 2024
Asked By:ldnjmck in England, United Kingdom

I had a lip lift several months ago.Everything has gone very well except one issue. After a few months, the area underneath my nose, along the lip lift scar, is having problems. Everyday there are 2 large cyts yellow heads. I try to clean it everyday and red angry spots remain throughout the day. During the night they will fill with puss again and so it the cycle continues. I am wondering if this is ingrown hair in the lip lift scar area and what Can be done?
