How to remove lip scars from previous lip thinning surgery? (photo)

August 20, 2017
Asked By:angelhorley in Long Island City, NY

I had lip thinning surgery on my upper lip 3 years ago. The stitches were removed in a week so I wasn't fully recovered. Do you have any treatments for me? Any gel is suitable for me to massage my lip?
