Question : I got a cut on my upper lip 7 years ago and it is healed but still swollen and visible. I'm thinking this tissues are damaged which caused my natural lips to deform. I never took any medication when i got the cut 7 years ago though. Is there anything I can do to restore the swollen part back to normal like it use to be . Any methods or prescription Please.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.

* As per my surgical experience, at the period of 7 years duration, tissue
healing takes place long back and there are no medications to change it.

* However, various cosmetic procedures are available which can reshape the
deformed tissue structures from various angles.

* It would be best recommended if you can send me a high resolution photo
pic of the swollen lip area during follow up discussion , if possible and no
objection ; so that better guidelines can be figured out.

Awaiting for your response.
Regards.
