LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

May the 28th I was blind sided then beat on the floor. According to onlookers it was a case of mistaken identity. I never felt so helpless in my life, if someone didn't stop them, who knows what else could have happened. I ended up in the hospital, two stiches on my lip and 9 loose teeth (my whole mouth was rearranged), and a bunch of other injuries. Now I'm left with that constant reminder on my face, I can't look at my face without thinking of that night and what happened to me and for no reason at all. It makes me so angry.

My lip now has a scar were it was lacerated. It looks really noticeable, its like a dip and my lips are no longer aligned how they once were (bottom lip now more to the right).

What can I do to fix this? Or at least make it less noticeable. I don't mean to throw a pity party but this is really affecting me, and I don't want to think of that night anymore, but its hard when its permenantly scarred onto my face.

Please help, thanks!

so sorry to hear what happened to you. in general, this short a time out i would wait for a few more months. minimum would be 6 months. however, the only real way to improve the situation ultimately is a small surgery to improve the appearance of the scar.

Thanks a lot for your response, it's really appreciated. Is there anything I can put on it in the meantime to improve the appearance of the scar?

Will this scar change in appearance (for the better) over time?

What kind of surgery would it be?


Thanks a lot.

nothing to apply on it will help. time most likely will soften it. if not, then the surgery would be a direct-line excision of the scar and careful reclosure.
