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

Question

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?

Yes, this is possible that you have ingrown hairs or it could be buried keratin cysts that are reoccurring. You needs this area excised under local anesthesia and can be done in the office. I have had to do this with some of my patients and it is easy to resolve.
