Question

If a baby has a cyst inside the lower lip, will the surgery make the lips change shape?

Answer

Medication can be tried, but it may not completely eliminate the cyst. If observation shows that the cyst does not recur and does not enlarge after some time, there is no need to worry too much. However, if the child frequently bites the cyst, causing recurrent inflammation, it may lead to fibrosis or enlargement of the surrounding tissue, which may affect the appearance of the lips after surgical treatment. The surgery requires general anesthesia and is a Radical Cure method.
