  7. CAN MY LIP BE CORRECTED...

Can my lip be corrected from mucocele removal? (Photo)

April 11, 2022
Asked By:Reserved7780 in Ft. Liberty, North Carolina

About 3 years ago, I had a mucocele removed on my bottom lip which left a lump of scar tissue. I then went back to get that scar tissue excised last August and now have a depression and bumpiness in my lip from some scar tissue that's left. Do you think it's possible for me to get the affected side back to or close to original?

Can I do scar revision again or use Lip Filler for scar tissue inside lip? (photos)
Jason Emer, MD says:

This scar may need to be surgically removed for the best outcome but fillers and lasers like ablative co2 can help. Fillers maybe able to camouflage for the short term. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
