Scar tissue in my upper left lip from being bitten by a dog. Are there options other than surgery to reduce the size? (Photos)

We are experts in lip scar revision. I would begin with a combination of Plato's Scar Serum, Kenalog IIT, and surgical scar excision with layered closure. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

This can be improved with a combination of revision, lasers and/or microneedling/prp. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Based on the photos alone and without an examination it appears that your deformity can be relatively easily treated by surgical excision just under local anesthesia. There is no need for a complex and expensive approach. Done properly, the upside improvement potential should far outweigh any risks.My recommendation would be for you to see a reputable board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in scar treatment.Steven Turkeltaub, MD
