When I was 17, I had my lip pierced and took it out not long after and then had it re-peirced two years later. I am now 27 and left with an ugly hole underneath my bottom lip. Today, I had the scar excised. My Dermatologist used a 4mm punch and double stitched the wound. Those who get punch excision seem to have various results so I thought I would share my experience with all of you. :) Please excuse the strange before photo! I took a picture for my dermatologist regarding my acne not the scar! However, it seems to be the best photo of the hole I was left with.

Thank you for sharing with the community.  It looks pretty clean even with the stitch in it so early on.  Definitely post updated pictures for us as you heal.

The tech told me to keep this bandaid on for 48 hours (no getting it wet) and then to clean the sight with 1/2 water and 1/2 Hydrogen Peroxide. Afterwards, Im supposed to keep vaseline on and cover with a new bandaid for the remaining time. I will post another pic after the 48 hours.
