A member asked:

What kind of lip augmentation is done to create symmetry and even the texture of a burned lip scar?

Improve not remove: This can be a complex procedure involving injections, fillers, lasers, surgical excision, rearrangement grafting or implants. It is best to discuss with a plastic surgeon to review the options.

Possibilities: Without seeing your lip, this is a challenging question to answer. A scar older than one year may possibly be improved with injection of a hyaluronic acid filler. A revision procedure may be needed to reorient the scar so it isn't causing a tethered effect of the skin and lip. If the scar is newer than one year, you should wait prior to having anything done.
