What is the best option for me to improve the looks of my lip? (Photo)

Asked By:Anndallei in Las Cruces, NM

A month ago, a dog bit my upper lip. I had seven stitches. A chunk of my lip is missing so I have a noticeable indent. I was wondering if I will need additional treatment or do you think after a few more months of healing, it will improve on it's own enough to not be as noticeable?
