Lip stapling usually leaves a scar, and whether or not you have keloid scarring also plays a role in the size of the scar.
1. Keloid: If an individual is keloid, lip stapling will leave a scar, and it may generally be more noticeable. However, it can be relieved by laser or some medications.
2. Non-keloid: Usually non-keloid lip stapling may not leave a very noticeable scar. However, if the local infection and other problems occur, it may also leave a more obvious scar. Therefore, it is important to take appropriate local care measures, which may include daily local wiping with saline and seeking professional help if necessary to minimize the extent of scarring.
It is recommended that lip piercing and lip piercing removal should be done in a formal and professional hospital or institution, so as to reduce the risk of scarring.
