HELP ME PLEEEASE (will I have scars?) PLEASE say I won't...

Hi. Your doctor should not have to cut your lip. Mine was very close to my lip, so the cut ALMOST extends to my lip, but just so. I do not think that I will have an exterior scar. My advice would be to express this concern to your doctor and see what he says. This picture is from the day after my removal.

Nah, you won't have a scar on the outside of your lip. Your oral surgeon will know enough to take it out from the INSIDE of your lip. Here's what they did for mine: Tiny pokes from some numbing needles They make a SMALL incision (my mucocele was about 3 times the size of yours), so my incision was about 1/8 of an inch long They push the mucocele itself out, cut around it and any other impacted tissues Sew you back up, and voila, tell you to put ice on it and give you pain killers I didn't need the pain killers, just a good nap, and I was fine I had a swollen lip for a day or two, but you couldn't even really tell. My lips were a bit dry after the surgery, but it wasn't a big deal. Now, about 9 months after my surgery, I can tell there's some numbing/tingling where that incision was, but that's to be expected when they cut out part of yoru body where there are nerve endings, but I"m willing to live with that instead of a giant lump in my mouth. Don't be worried, and keep playing that trumpet - just be careful when putting it to your lips. The impact of the metal to your mouth may have caused the mucocele, so be gentle!

Ure so lucky u get to take it out,i have mucocele for 2 years and its still in my mouth..its so embarassing!!
