Hi
ive gotten mine removed twice in the same spot and once in another spot on my lower lip. im 15 now and it is annoying to have there. i feel like everyone looks at that when im talking or smiling. ive had the same two in my bottom lip for over a year and they stay the same size. one is pretty big i think. but last time i had them removed the doctor took out a ball that was in the bump. so cutting it and draining wont do much becuase the little stupid ball of whatever will be there untill u take it out. a few months ago i went to a different doctor and he said to leave it alone. he said since i already had it removed twice it will most likely come back and theres a good chance of new ones forming around it during the surgery. this was terrible news to me because im so self conscious of them. i wish there was something that would get rid of em permanently but i dont think there is especially if they've came back after you go
t em removed once. but i suggest not to cut them ne more because it may make them smaller for a day or so but it doesnt get rid of the ball in side of the lump.   sad

Hi Karajan,

I know it seems crappy, but hang in there!  The oral surgeon doesn't have anymore suggestions?  It seems as if you've been through a lot with getting it removed.  I don't know if any of the home remedies will work for you but at least it will be worth a try.  A lot of people in this forum try the evening primrose oil.  Rub some on your mucocele every night before you go to bed.  Soak a little piece of TP or get a gauze and soak it with the EPO and put it on your mucocele like a little compress.  I know it might not seem like a good way to get rid of it despite you going through surgery, but at least its worth a try.  Good luck and let us know what happens!

i saw one today and it was quick & obviously painless b/c the pt was knocked out. i say if you have the insurance and can get it done do it. stop being the doctor thats his job, and he'll do it right the first time by removing all the tissue that needs to bee removed.
