No, massage does very little to heal scars. However, those on the lips typically heal quite well, so given a couple of months they will be unnoticeable and barely existent.

Can massage reduce an old scar on lips?
Well no massage doesn't do anything for the formed scar tissue other than add a little more circulation to the area. Scar tissue will diminish over time as the body sluffs the damaged tissue. There is no "quick fix" for this tissue, that's why dealing with aftercare related issues as quickly as possible is so important. Bumps and lumps left untreated will form scar tissue and there is no cheap or quick fix for this once it's formed.
