Lip Deformity After Mucocele Removal. What procedures are available to fix this problem? (Photo)

B
BrzjulMay 3, 2020

Hello, I had a mucocele on my bottom lip removed ten years ago. The surgery left either some of the mucocele behind or it might be scar tissue. There’s now a bump on my bottom lip and I wanted to know what options I had to make my bottom lip look balanced and even. What procedures are available to fix this problem?

It appears to me as though a scar revision could be done to improve the scar on your lower lip after your accident.  This would be a fairly minor procedure that could be done in the office.  I would consult with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon.

From your photo, you appear to be a good candidate for a lip lift.  A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.  Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
