Should I get surgery in a week?
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 got 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.
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!
