Upper Lip Cut, Got Stitched, Bump On Upper Lip, No Proper Line, Left A Scar Behind. Will Lip Look Normal?

Hello Doc. I have had an accident and had a cut on my upper lip. It was split and had to be stitched, 2 stitched from the outside. It has healed but I have a bump on my upper lip and now they don't have a proper lip line and has left a scar on the upper lip extending almost till my nose. Is there anything that can be done to heal it fast and will the lip line look normal again or will it remain the way it is?

Hello
yes your lip may look normal , but if there is prominant scar than you will have to consult to a plastic surgeon.
now you will have to wait for healing.
if there is finely stiched it leaves very minimul scar , and may not need plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery will brings your skin will seems to be normal skin.
ok
take care
