What Can I Do to Fix the Scar on the Vermillion Border of my Upper Lip?

January 3, 2011
Asked By:Pasadena CA in Pasadena CA

I am unhappy with how my upper lip now looks and would like to know what possible treatments there are to fix or remove the scar and approximately how much it would cost. I received the cut about a month ago and the wound has since healed but the upper border is now slightly misaligned by the scar. Also, is laser treatment a possibility I should consider? What would the approximate downtown be for a corrective procedure? Thanks.
