Scar revision: It depends on the scar. You can use creams like mederma, laser resurfacing or scar revision surgery or a combination. Consult a facial surgeon to determine your options.

Revision : Without seeing photos you have several options. Non-surgical options include kenalog (triamcinolone) injections along the scar as well as co2 laser resurfacing. If the lip exhibits retraction or requires lengthening then a surgical revision would be necessary.
