Scar tissue removal on upper lip. What can I do? (Photo)

September 3, 2021
Asked By:Dontsnaptogrid in Willard, New Mexico

When I was about 6 years old my upper lip became very uneven with this crease in the middle. I have always been very insecure about it. When I was 12 I had a lip tie cut because my dentist recommended it as a remedy for the lip. That of course did not help. I later had plastic surgery to cut part of the tissue off and it helped for a little while but returned a couple years later. My dad has a similar issue. What can I do? I would like to be able to smile confidently again.
