Lip reconstruction after removal of BCC - Is there any treatment available to fix my vermillion border?

Roxiridge
A year ago I had MOHS surgery to remove a small BCC. Unfortunately the surgeon had to remove part of my lip. This has left me with a step in my vermillion border, persistent underneath swelling and a drooping lip. I am uncomfortable with the swelling and disappointed with the cosmetic outcome. Please could you advise if there are any treatments available to help and if you would recommend a revision of my border? I am worried I could make my lip and above scar worse if I interfere anymore.
