Well...
1) I don't think he was referring to a whole lemon but rather lemon slices (at least this was my understanding) and if so,

2) I suppose the concept is that the acidity or some other quality of the lemon might shrink some tissue??

Can't say for sure, but even if it were to be true, I would imagine the results to be only temporary.

At any rate, ain't no lemons getting near my pusskins...my eyes are tearing up just thinking about it.
