A member asked:

What foods should i take and other things i can do to speed up mucocele surgery recovery on lower lip?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diet: Soft high-protein diet may do some good. Avoid hot or cold, think tepid. Avoid spicy, salty, peppery, rough textured. Do not smoke, anything. Avoid contact sports. Avoid alcohol. Ask your Surgeon for instructions.
