How do I get rid of a scar on my upper lip caused by biting? (photos)

I frequently revise lip scars from traumaThe best way to remove a scar that is widened by healing from secondary intention, is to surgical revise it.The good news for you is that it is centrally located and might be amenable to wedge excision.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

This would require surgical removal or you can try laser surgery. An in person evaluation would be best because if this is "hard" then steroid/5FU injections can be used to shrink it down.  There are some options for you.  Best, Dr. Emer.
