Can I fix lip asymmetry, hard bump and scar with surgery? (photos)

Question

When I was 18 (now 20) I busted my lip open and it healed on its own, but left a scar and hard bump in the lip. It’s visibly noticeable when I smile and I can feel it with my tongue. Would I be able to fix this with surgery? If so how much would it cost?

Hello hope you are well. Your photos demonstrate the problem you describe quite nicely. Yes, a scar revision can be performed to remove/debulk the scar tissue and improve the symmetry. This is a straightforward office procedure under local anesthesia. Feel free to call The Spiegel Center for price inquiry. 
Best,Dr. Tower

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
