A member asked:
Is lip laceration likely to scar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: All wounds heal by scar formation, but abnormal or thick scarring is somewhat unusual around the lip. The location on the lip and whether the wound was closed, or allowed to heal by itself, can also affect the scar quality.
