Is lip scar removal a serious procedure? (Photo)

Asked By:Adventurous571000 in Miami, Florida

About 10 years ago I bumped heads with someone and busted my lip open. I got stitches and ever since then a small portion of my upper lip has protruded. It does not hurt and is not too noticeable unless you really examine it. I haven’t minded it much but if there was a minor way to get it treated I would be interested. Thanks!
