Can Punch Excision Surgery Be Used to Treat a Lip Piercing Scar?

Lip scars from piercings can be effectively treated with a simple punch excision especially if they are not too big under local anesthesia and the end result is typically a small wrinkle. I hope this information helps.

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).

Yes but I recommend excision of the canal of skin from the piercing. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski
