Inner Lip Mucocele (Inside Lip Bump) Surgical Treatment

A small, painless intra-oral bump may appear on the lip, cheeks, or floor of mouth known as an oral mucocele. The mass itself is soft when pressed. Most commonly found on the lower lip, this cystic mass is caused by the accumulation of mucous secretions, often provoked by traumatic injury or habitual lip biting. Mucoceles are prone to rupture and subsequent reformation. The treatment of choice is surgical excision as shown here.

If the lip mucocele is in the top part of the lip where it is visible, check out this video instead:    • Outer Lip Mucocele (Lip Bump) Surgica...  

Lip mucoceles are typically treated by ENT physicians or oral surgeons.
