I'm following up on my earlier post several weeks ago on the venous lake surgery by a plastic surgeon. It's now 11 weeks after surgery and my lip is looking better but still has a small pink bump where the anchor stitch is located. I was told it's a dissolvable stitch but evidently it takes several months to dissolve. Again I recommend trying laser surgery with a plastic surgeon as a last resort. Had I known it was so intrusive I would have tried a laser dermatologist first. If anyone online has experience using a plastic surgeon to remove a venous lake I would like to hear their feedback.
