A member asked:
What are chances mucocle caused by blocked/ruptured salivary gland once removed surgically will cause unevenness, leave scar, and permanent numbness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucocle P.Op. Symp.: Good day; The dozen or so Mucocles I have recently removed have left no unevenness or numbness. There may be a slight scar which is not visible unless you reflect lip. If found on the visible portion of lip, I would suggest dermatologist or Plastic surgeon.
