Suggest Treatment For Hemangioma Of Lower Lip

Hello. I've fought with a heangioma of my left lower lip for my whole life and had 3 laser surgeries done on it when I was 10-12 years old done by a great doctor named Clayman from Detroit, Michigan. He was one of the only doctors at that time that would perform surgery on it. He had to do the surgery through my mouth. It grew around a nerve and the tumor was never fully removed. It has grown over the years and now I am having complications with it aka swelling of half of my lower lip and pain. I was wondering if there was a doctor in Florida maybe even at Shands in Gainesville who was willing to treat my case. The little research that I have done suggests that there still are not many doctors who will treat and do surgery on my type of hemangioma. Please help. All comments will be appreciated.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have hemangioma. It is vascular tumour and it isbenign Iin nature. But complete excision is the treatment of choice. If it is not removed completely then chances of recurrence is there. If laser surgery is not helpful then you can go with simple surgery followed by plastic surgery for reconstruction of lip.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
