Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  I am sorry to hear of your complications after Vitamin E oil injections but after two years it is unlikely that your current appearance will change and surgical excision of the scarred tissue will be required to reduce the bulk of your lip. All of the areas of firmness are unlikely to be addressed but a marked improvement can be achieved.  Best wishes.

Please consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon for evaluation. You will likely need a surgical approach for improvement. I suggest seeking an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

There is nothing you can do at home for this. The only remedy is surgical excision but this will probably leave the lip deformed even more and require fat or filler to look close to normal.
