They will inject LA round the mucocele, make an eleptical incision, and lift
it out with some minor salivary glands.
They will then suture it up, make sure there is haemostasis.

You probably will be reviewed in a weeks time.

No need to take time off work. Your lip will be a bit numb, so just make
sure you dont bite it or burn it with hot food/ drink.

Use an antiseptic mouthwash to keep the bugs at bay and prevent the site
from being infected. The site may feel sore for a couple of days.
