I busted my lip this pastOctober, creating a laceration on both the inside of my mouth and in the middle of my lower lip. I found 2 mucoceles and had those removed surgically in December. Now I’m left with scar tissue in the middle of my bottom lip, which I have been massaging since the surgery. The external laceration scar itself also seems to be creating tension that makes a small part of my lip “bubble” when smiling slightly. What can I do to improve the discoloration, tension, shape, any?
Answer: Scar tissue can be reduced by doing injection therapy to help break it down. Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring.

Answer: Intralesional Anti-Inflammatory Injections Can Help To Diminish Scar Thickness & Tension As with any scar anywhere on the body, scar collagen can be thick and therefore can lead to elevation, tension on surrounding tissue, and even tenderness. Intralesional injections of anti-inflammatory agents have been used for decades to shrink and flatten elevated scars and to decrease the itching and discomfort that not uncommonly can result from them. You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist scar treatment specialist and best of luck.
