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.
Can white scar removed from the lips?

Is massage still a recognized part of physical therapy for strains?
Yes. A strain is a partial or complete tear of a muscle or a tendon. The process known as fibrosis develops as the body repairs the damaged tissues, basically filling the damaged area with scar tissue. Massage is very helpful, particularly a technique called cross-fiber friction which remodels and allows the scar tissue to become more mailable and functional.

Does massaging an area break down scar tissue?
Massage can help break down scar tissue by increasing blood flow to the area, promoting healing, and improving tissue flexibility.

Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any massage therapy for scar treatment.

Which tissue heals by scar tissue?
Tissues that heal by scar tissue typically include dense connective tissues such as skin, tendons, and ligaments. In these tissues, the inflammatory response triggers the formation of scar tissue to repair the damage. However, the formation of scar tissue can lead to reduced functional capacity compared to the original tissue.
