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.

Answer: Scar Treatment: Common Questions The main issue from your image is the misalignment of your vermillion boarder. This is the red line that is along the outside of your lips. To correct the alignment, and to remove the mild hypertrophic scar, you would require a surgical correction for the best cosmetic outcome. Lasers will not have an effective role in this injury as the soft tissue misalignment, not the discoloration, is the main issue. The injured site will look the most violet in color at 1 month – completely normal. This can be done in an office under local anesthetic. I would recommend seeing a specialist for the best possible outcome.
