Can anything be done to minimize a venous pool on the lip? (photo)

mommadiverJan 27, 2014
I have had a very noticeable venous pool on my lower right lip for years, and it is getting more noticeable as I age. I'd like to have it 'disappear' and am wondering if there is a solution. It is very dark and purple and has really distorted my lower lip.

Try to massage the lumpy area of scar tissue each day, by pinching it between your fingers.  This may help the firmness.Go back to see the doc that left the suture behind, so it can be removed.
