Avatar f tn will I be left with this huge scar in my lip? Can a plastic surgeon remove this scar? If so, when do you recommend that I have a consult with a plastic surgeon? I feel like my bite is off because my lips no longer close naturally due to this large bump.
Avatar n tn Surgical removal of lump? Or/And 2. I was also wondering if injections to plump the unscarred lip around the lump would be possible to conceal the lump? 2. If I seek a surgeon to remove the lump, who would be most practiced at this sort of procedure?, and what would their medical occupation be? (i.e. Maxillofacial?), and what qualifications should they have?
Avatar f tn Some stiching was done and I healed well. Two months ago I had surgery to remove a small cyst that had grown on the lip - one year after the accident. The srugery has left me with a hard lunp on my upper lip. my smile is very uneven and I am distressed. Will it go away by itself, or can i have the lump removed surgically? where should I go for help?
Avatar n tn Hi, I also had a surgery to my lower lip 3 weeks ago. I had an accident 20 years ago, fell and bit through my lip. I had a couple of stitches at the time and after, developped a large hard lump on my lip. I had it "removed" 8 years ago but there was still some bump left. So 3 weeks ago, I decided to do it again and for the last time. It looks flat in front of my lip and this is good BUT there is a lot of hard tissue inside the lip and some hard swelling in the inner lip.
Avatar n tn my upper lip is very short, so short that my 2 front teeth show almost completely when my mouth is open. is there a procedure to lengthen the upper lip?
6710217 tn?1386110892 I had to take out everything for surgeries in the past, so I imagine its just a precaution incase anything goes wrong they dont wanna be responsible for pulling them out of you! I was told to take lip and nose ring out for surgery incase I needed oxygen, they didnt want to accidently knock it down my throat or nasal passage.
Avatar f tn Hello, With time, there may be a reduction in appearance of scar and more over at such a young age, it is not advisable to opt for plastic surgery if the presenting symptom is only cosmetic in nature. After a few years, you can consult a plastic surgeon and discuss the treatment options with him. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn It will be best for you to go to the cleft lip/palate section of the American Society of plastic surgery web site and they have pictures of how the repair is done. That will be much better than a complex written answer. Sorry, but I think that will be much better for you.
Avatar f tn I'm lined up for plastic surgery in Costa Rica in 2.5 weeks... just looked up info online re metracril. It sounds like it will never be approved in the US, so I'm not going to give it a try. Generally our FDA is pretty good regarding their research on new products. Where did you stay in Costa Rica, and who did your surgery, if you don't mind posting here? Thanks!
Avatar f tn Surgery can’t be done on scar tissue due to the fact that tissue regrowth on a scar isn’t stable enough for sutures (lack of collagen) so, to keep the sutures in place, it would be necessary to go deeper or use tissue surrounding the scar. This would cause the scar on your lip to be larger, or more noticeable, than the existing one and the skin might grow in as a slightly different color. is that true doctor?
Avatar m tn I had a serious bike accident some tym ago and my upper lip was stitched, this was around august last year. My lips have improved greatly since then but it seemed to reach a halt when the hardness and scar it had created refused to go for almost 6 months now. I believe i have been very patient and would please need some help as to how I can get rid of this and when its most likely to go. Thank you.
Avatar m tn I have a mole on my upper lip that I have had since birth. However, since I have started shaving two/three times a week* I've noticed a bump/lump that I can barely make out is covering part of the mole when I really look close. I found it because it is painful when I apply pressure to the bump and strangely enough when I put my thumb in my mouth beneath my top lip I can feel the bump from inside of the skin.
Avatar n tn t change the shape of your skull by anything other than surgery. Surgery would be your only option and it is very invasive for that type of debulking procedure. You can talk to a plastic surgeon about it if you want to, but personally, I wouldn't think it's worth it.
Avatar f tn They form a depression or sunken area because of damage to the collagen, fat or other tissues below the skin. In such scars, apart from plastic surgery, laser resurfacing is also helpful. They can be safely and effectively resurfaced through the proper use of a high-energy, pulsed or scanned carbon dioxide (CO2) or Erbium-Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Er:YAG) laser.
Avatar n tn About a year ago my friend and I were jumped by some military men, as a result i had 22 stitches done to my face. My teeth went through my goatee area and my bottom lip was pierced as well. Final result is I have a scar on the goatee area which I don't mind, but my lip is lopsided and it's very easily injured. I do surf a lot and I'm considering reconstructive surgery. Is it possible to not just fix the looks, but the weird bulge i have there and its fragileness?
Avatar f tn Following cataract surgery, I was provided a plastic eye shield to wear at night, and some tape. But no diagram or instructions on how it is supposed to fit on my face. Does the "lip" on one side of the round shield go towards the ear, towards the nose, or up or down? It doesn't fit my face closely no matter which way I turn it. I'm also wondering why a device with a headband hasn't been invented?
Avatar n tn how can it be brought back to original position .
Avatar n tn It has been four and a half weeks since my surgery. I was hoping to get back to my normal breast size which is a D cup. My question is, will the radiation stop the breast reconstuction process? Will the radiation affect the expanders? Will it hurt to wait until I am fully expanded? Please help answer some of these questions. I need some opinions. Thanks This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/261258'>Radiation in tissue expander</a>.

Avatar m tn The upper left side of my lip suffered a cut which eventually healed. The cut left a J shaped scar on my lip. I know have a bump on my lip of a slightly lighter color. I got the scar looked at by a doctor and he told me to leave it alone and it should go back to normal in 4-6 months. I have been reading that I should be massaging the area since it is probably scar tissue. 1. What do you recommend? 2. Anything that will help it heal better or faster? 3.
Avatar n tn Hello, This lip scarring can be healed by laser resurfacing, collagen fillers or by plastic surgery. There is no topical treatment to heal such scarring of the lips. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar m tn The doctor did not recommend surgery, but recommended observation. Also, I am in China. I would like a western doctors advice. I had a CT scan, Ultrasound, 3-4 eye tests, including pressure, vision, some light test.... 4 days later, Its still a little swollen, eye movement isnt restricted but a little pain when looking up or down, and i still have numbness in my cheek lip and left side of my nose. I have clear vision, same as before, and it appears no sunken eye.
