Is a fat upper lip treatable that resulted from a punch to the face? (Photos)

philippe79
Two and a half years ago i was punched on the left side of my face that resulted in a fat left upper lip. The fatness begins just under the nose and spans my entire left lip. It causes me daily discomfort. I have been to a plastic surgeon where I received 3 cortisone injections in an attempt to reduce its size. It was unsuccessful. He did not see surgery as an option. I would however appreciate a second opinion regarding possible treatments. Thank you.
