It is normal to have hard lumps after lip suture removal, and it usually takes about 3 months for the hard lumps to soften, and the exact time is also related to the individual’s physique and the severity of the scar.
Hard lumps after lip suture removal are mainly due to the formation of fibroblasts and fresh granulation tissue during the wound healing process, starting from the bottom of the wound to grow and fill the wound, and scar tissue will gradually form during the wound healing process, that is, the hard lumps on the lips. Of course these scar tissues soften over time.
If the patient is a keloid, the softening of the scar will also take longer, or even not soften and persist. If the patient’s lip hard lumps do not soften for a long time or affect their appearance or function, they can go to the hospital in time for further examination and can be treated with medication.
