She’d been living with a reminder of an old dog bite since childhood.
The injury healed, but it left more than a scar. It had left her lip uneven — part of it rebuilt years ago using tissue from inside her cheek, which meant the colour, texture and shape were never quite the same again
It healed, but it never "felt" like her. The texture was different, the shape off-balance — and every time she looked in the mirror, that’s all she could see. For years, she felt self-conscious about it.
Photos, lipstick, even smiling — it all reminded her that her lips no longer looked symmetrical, and the area that had been repaired just didn’t blend naturally with the rest
She’d seen multiple practitioners over the years, but because of the scar tissue, no one wanted to touch it. everyone told her the same thing: it was too risky, too unpredictable.
Each “no” chipped away at her confidence a little more. She started to believe it was something she just had to live with.
After following my posts for a while, she decided to get one last opinion —Together, we talked through her history, examined the tissue, and this time, came up with a slow, careful plan - together.
We began by treating the scar itself — using microneedling and polynucleotides to soften, stimulate healing and improve the quality of the repaired skin.
Only once the tissue was healthy and flexible again and had healed beautifully, did we look at restoring balance, definition and shape with dermal filler
It wasn’t a “one appointment” journey — but it was absolutely worth it.
The result is natural, soft and perfectly in harmony with her features.
She left smiling (and crying a little too).
After years of feeling self-conscious, she finally felt like herself again.
When you’re dealing with old injuries or complex scarring, this is where experience really matters.
In the right hands, it’s not just about adding filler — it’s about understanding tissue, healing, and rebuilding confidence from the inside out. 🤍
If you’ve been told “no” before or feel unsure about your lips, don’t give up.
DM me to book a consultation and let’s see what’s possible — every lip deserves a second chance. ✨
