Should I get this cut out or another steroid injection? (Photos)

May 31, 2018
Asked By:Nycguy87 in New York, NY

6 years ago I got into an accident where my upper right lip split, I didn’t get stitches but it healed on its own. But I had this lump on my right upper lip ever since from the accident and 2 months after I went to a surgeon and he injected a steroid injection to the area. It improved alittle but it’s still there, and I would like to know should I go for another injection or get it cut out so my upper lip can be even again..? Check out the photos, and thank you for any information given.
