Hello,
I'm a male in my early 30's and I was born with a unilateral cleft lip. I've had a total of two surgeries. One when I was born and another when I was 13. The surgeons did a wonderful job with my surgeries, however, as I got older the scar began to become more noticeable. It has become more raised and defined, and my lip has become more uneven. I was wondering, as an adult, what are my options in regards to improving the appearance of the scar? Obviously there is surgery, but if I do get surgery, what's the cost, how long does it take to heal, and what's the probability of having a negative outcome? Also, are there any other alternatives to reducing the appearance of a raised scar without going under the knife? Things like creams, dermabrasions, etc?
Thank You
