The only reason it may be a contraindication is because it is recent. After it has had a chance to heal, massage is actually indicated for scars.

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.

What is another name to scar tissue?

Scar tissue forms as a result from damage to healthy tissue and muscles, where normally the tissue grows straight, injured it repairs in a cluster and the fibres become intertwined along with nerves and blood vessels, that is the lump you will feel and sometimes they can be very painful. A good sports massage will get rid of it after a few sessions along with other massage tools. With massage it basically breaks down the tissue, although in reality you are recreating the injury, you can ensure with massage that the tissue grows back in its normal way.
