Will Using Steroid Injections Remove Scar Tissue from Lip Inject Work 15 Mos. Later

Kim from LA
15 months later, there is no Juvederm present any more but it sounds like I might have a hematoma on the upper left lip. I can’t stand the unevenness in my lips and rarely smile anymore. Has anyone had success with steroid injection to break down and reduce the scar tissue that is causing my lip lump? I don’t want to have surgery to remove it as this may cause sever scarring. All advice is welcomed.
