Mucocele is caused usually by lip bite and arises due to injury and blockage of minor salivary glands. It can be removed under local anaesthesia with conventional surgery or LASER. LASER as a surgical tool is painless, bloodless and many times stitchless. If not removed completely, it can reoccur. It's a delicate but painless and a short surgery
Next Steps
consult a Maxillofacial surgeon
Health Tips
the surgery will be more predictably done while the swelling is still present. mucoceles can easily rupture as they are thin walled but reappear in a few days
