6 years ago I got into an accident where my upper right lip split, I didnt get stitches but it healed on its own. But I had this lump on my right upper lip ever since from the accident and 2 months after I went to a surgeon and he injected a steroid injection to the area. It improved alittle but its still there, and I would like to know should I go for another injection or get it cut out so my upper lip can be even again..? Check out the photos, and thank you for any information given.
I do not have any range of motion in my upper lip. I am unable to laugh or smile. I look completely distorted. My stitches have not dissolved at 8 days post op and I can feel tissue under my upper lip coming between the stitches. I have a family event in 8 days and need to be picture ready. I feel as though I am healing disfigured.
Hello I am very upset. I received a lip augmentation on my lower lip on Friday 7/28/17 with a 5 mm implant. I brushed and flossed my teeth the next day and noticed slight bleeding on the left side that stopped it wasn't much blood. I spoke to my surgeon who said I might of popped the stitch so I went to the er and the doctor there examined me and said they looked fine. If I did pop the stitch and need the implant removed how long till I could put it back in?
I fell and bit through my lower lip 9 mos. ago, requiring stitches outside and inside. Unfortunately, my lip is now asymmetrical, especially when I smile. This has affected my confidence when talking to people or smiling for pics. I've seen 2 plastic surgeons (around 5-6 mos. after), and both said they didn't feel any scar tissue. I'm told either a kenalog injection or scar revision may help. I'm reluctant about the kenalog due to risk of discoloration/indentation. What are my treatment options?
I have stitches on my bottom lip in the center. I got them when I was a kid, got a accident. I was wondering if this will affect in any way by getting lip injections? Is it safe? I was thinking just to get lip injection on the top and sides of the bottom. Will the injection irritate or have complications because of the stitches in my lip?
My 2.5 year old daughter split her lip open 6 months ago and even though we had a plastic surgeon stitch her up, the vermilion border is misaligned and she was also left with a very noticeable white track mark on the red part of her lip. Is it possible to re-align her lip line (the lip tissue was pushed up and then the lip line steps off) and is it possible to combine the two white scars on her lip into one? I know it's best to wait 12-18 months to heal but it's clear that time won't fix this.
About a year ago I fell on my face and broke a lot of my teeth. I have since gotten dental implants and veneers. I love my teeth but my lips seem to be uneven.. I had to get stitches close to the corner of my right side of the upper lip.. Botox? Juvederm? I need some help!
I already feel a hard bump where the stitches were from scar tissue now I'm worried my lip will have to be cut open again due to this black piece of a stitch I see in there? What do I do? I'm worried that this dumb dr that injected me in the first place ruined my lip for good
