Does anyone know about mucoceles on the lower lip or is that not a dentist type thing? How long off work after it's removed I'm wondering... one day, two days?

Unless you're in public speaking (your lip will be numb for a couple of hours) you shouldn't need any time off from work. Also, you'll want to avoid stuff like lemon in your tea for a couple of days (ouch). There may be a stitch or two to have removed a week later.

They will then suture it up, make sure there is haemostasis. You probably will be reviewed in a weeks time. No need to take time off work. Your lip will be a bit numb, so just make sure you dont bite it or burn it with hot food/ drink. Use an antiseptic mouthwash to keep the bugs at bay and prevent the site from being infected. The site may feel sore for a couple of days. >> Does anyone know about mucoceles on the lower lip or is that not a >> dentist type thing?

It is more fun when you get it out in one piece without rupturing it. Pathologists get a woody with that stuff. Allright, so do I..... >They will then suture it up, make sure there is haemostasis. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Use an antiseptic mouthwash to keep the bugs at bay and prevent the site >from being infected.

There's a bit of travelling to the hospital that's doing it so at least I'll get the afternoon off. >Your lip will be a bit numb, so just make >sure you dont bite it or burn it with hot food/ drink. > >Use an antiseptic mouthwash to keep the bugs at bay and prevent the site >from being infected. The site may feel sore for a couple of days. Yes, I've been there done that last time. I had tissue taken for grafting from inside the lower lip and the mucocele is the result. It's deep so I'm expecting it to hurt a bit. I got no infection last time but I put that down to the constant bathing in gin that it got! Thanks guys!

It's better to fill the mucocoele with an impression material (inject), then dissect it out. >You probably will be reviewed in a weeks time. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >Use an antiseptic mouthwash to keep the bugs at bay and prevent the site >from being infected.

That sounds very cool--have you done it? What kind of needle do you use?
