Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Doc. How r u? My question to u would be, how do I repair a discolored bottom lip which I think is from smoking over the years. I am a 54 year old black male. My lip look horrible n makes me very embarrass to speak, let along, smile. What would u suggest I do?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The discolored lip can be because of the pigmentation caused secondary to irritation by smoking (smokers melanosis). Nothing to be panic, first you stop the habit of smoking and observe for some months. Then if it is not subsiding then you can go for laser treatment. I hope I have answered your query, take care.
