A member asked:
Had a mucocele and salivary glands removed in lip. it's now swollen and asymmetric with scar tissue. it's bottom lip and annoying. steroid injection?

Lip scar tissue: A steroid injection might help, but usually a re-excision is the way to go. It looks like you have had 2 procedures already, so i understand you might be reluctant . Get another opinion from another ENT or oral surgeon.

See surgeon: I would recommend you return to see the surgeon to have your lip evaluated and you can discuss your concerns.
