15 yrs ago I had a freckle removed from my lip by a dermatologist with a knife&scalpel. He stitched me back up and I have lived with this ugly scar tissue since. It is big deep and old. What can I do to have this scar tissue removed? Also would it be safe to get juvaderm on my lip right now, or would I end up with lumpy results? Or will it help even out my lip shape?
