What is Lip Scar Surgery?
Lip scar surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce or eliminate visible scarring on the lips caused by injury, burns, surgery, or congenital conditions. This surgery aims to improve the appearance, texture, and symmetry of the lips, helping to restore a more natural, smooth, and aesthetically pleasing look.
What Does Lip Scar Surgery Do?
Lip scar revision can help enhance both the look and feel of your lips by:
Softening and flattening raised or indented scars.
Improving lip contour and symmetry.
Reducing discoloration or uneven pigmentation.
Minimizing tightness or functional limitations due to scar tissue.
Boosting confidence by improving overall facial appearance.
How Should I Prepare for Lip Scar Surgery?
Before the surgery, you’ll consult with a plastic or cosmetic surgeon to discuss your concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. The surgeon will examine the scar and decide the most effective surgical or non-surgical approach.
Your doctor may ask you to stop taking certain medications, especially blood thinners like aspirin or herbal supplements, before surgery. If you smoke, you’ll be advised to quit several weeks before and after the procedure to ensure proper healing. Avoid alcohol and follow any dietary or skincare guidelines provided.
Make sure to ask your surgeon any questions about the procedure, expected outcomes, recovery time, and post-op care before your surgery date.
What Happens During Lip Scar Surgery?
Lip scar surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area while you remain awake. In some cases, especially when combined with other procedures, general anesthesia may be used.
During the surgery, your plastic surgeon may:
Remove the scar tissue.
Reposition or reshape the scar for better alignment with the natural lip contour.
Use advanced techniques like Z-plasty or W-plasty to minimize scar visibility.
Stitch the area carefully to encourage better healing and cosmetic results.
The specific technique depends on the type, location, and severity of the scar.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?
Most lip scar surgeries take around 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete. However, the duration may vary depending on the complexity of the scar and the surgical method used.
What Happens After Lip Scar Surgery?
After the procedure, you’ll rest under observation for a short period before being allowed to go home. You should arrange for someone to drive you, as you may feel groggy from the anesthesia.
Post-operative care typically includes:
Keeping the incision area clean and dry.
Sleeping on your back with your head elevated.
Avoiding excessive lip movement, talking, or smiling in the first few days.
Taking prescribed medications to reduce pain and inflammation.
Avoiding alcohol, smoking, and spicy or hard-to-chew foods.
Your doctor will schedule a follow-up visit to check healing and possibly remove stitches unless dissolvable ones were used.
What Are the Side Effects of Lip Scar Surgery?
While side effects are generally minimal with a skilled surgeon, possible risks may include:
Infection.
Temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort.
Scar recurrence or changes in scar pigmentation.
Numbness or altered lip sensation.
Uneven results or asymmetry.
Visible or thickened scar tissue.
Most side effects are temporary and manageable with proper care and follow-up. Be sure to follow all aftercare instructions and report any unusual symptoms to your surgeon promptly.
