Had swln slvry glands removed. will a re-excision induce more scarring in the bottom lip? it's minor but asymmetrical, forcing people to look at it.

Depends on timing: How long ago was your surgery for the mucocoele? If it was recent, keep massaging the area for at least 6 months. If you're unhappy with the appearance of your lips, talk to the doctor about it. There may be good options.
