Does sticthing on the lip scar?!


Question:

Does sticthing on the lip scar?

my brother had a deep cut on his top lip and had to get about 5 stitches, jus wondering if it scars?


Answers:

I had a cancerous growth removed from my lip in 1983 and you can't tell where it was. I had 7 external stitches and 12 internal ones. It depends on whether the stitch line was horizontal or vertical. Mine was vertical and so looks just like a normal crease, the only time it is visible is when I get cold and it gains a slight blue tinge. If they made that good a job of mine all those years ago they would probably have made a better job of your brothers with the progresses made in modern plastic surgery.
