What Is The Bulge On My Upper Lip?

Q:Dr. Eppley, I have a pulsating bulge on my upper lip that I this is a vein. It is gradually getting bigger. How can I get rid of it?

A: Every symptom you describe as well as the picture suggests that this is an aneurysm of the upper labial artery, patrticularly its pulsatile nature. Surgical resection/ligation is the definitive treatment for such a lip aneursym.
