I have a scar that looks like a hole in my middle lower lip from a lip piercing. The hole is right below the vermillion line. I was wondering if punch excision surgery would be a reasonable option for augmenting the appearance of the scar. I would rather have a small horizonal scar from a suture than a hole. And it seems like the scar left from the surgery would fade much better than the hole ever would.

Answer: Scar Treatment: Common Questions The main issue with your piercing scar is that it represents a tract that starts at the surface of your face and enters your oral cavity. For complete closure it would be best to have the entire tract removed so as to prevent the formation of a cyst. The exterior scar can be minimized, but it would be better if the tract was excised with precision and a tissue sparing approach (e.g. scalpel excision).
