Need help with Lip Scar revision- What type of Dr? and What Procedure?

June 5, 2025
Asked By:Soccergirl33 in Kansas City, Missouri

I'm a 42 yo female. Played sports my whole life and been pretty knocked around from constant contact. I have a scar on my lip line that caused a bump and also a small scar below my lip from my tooth being smashed into. I cannot wear any lipstick or especially gloss because it highlights the bump and makes it look like I have something questionable and gross. I have no idea if I need a plastic surgeon or dermatologist or just anyone with a laser?
