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

Question

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?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Expertise is required for lip reduction surgery of the lower and upper lips. In fact, the lower lips are reduced quite differently than the upper lips. I have performed the surgery for 15 years and utilize a HIDEF approach that uses an incision at the wet-dry mucosa. 
Revision of the lips can be performed to improve symmetry and reduce tissue swelling.
