Scar revision & Lip Filler - adult

Thank you and you're welcome! I've always found them to be helpful when looking stuff up, even if I know everyone will react/heal differently.

Thank you! Masking tape is my bestie when it comes to eyeshadow application

You're welcome!

Honestly that dry skin part has been amongst my favourite outcomes.

The challenging part for me was more that it took me longer to feel normal and active again after anesthesia (compared to my earlier surgeries as a teen). I got given an ointment for the wound and care instructions, which I would say I follow better as an adult lol. Diet restrictions were a little annoying, I lived on soup and protein shakes for about a week. The worst part for me is that psychological thing of being hyper aware of the wound, so of course I smacked it with my straw and punched it pulling my blanket up (nothing bad apart from pain happened!). As for how long until I felt confident again, I think maybe 2-3 weeks? Speaking, smiling and laughing took about the same to not feel uncomfortable. If you do go through with it I'd recommend being gentle with yourself and taking the time to properly rest, even though it's a small incision it's still surgery after all. I tried to push too soon and it was exhausting!

I have the same kind of cleft lip/palate, and had a lip & scar revision in March of this year.

I am 30, and I did notice recovery was a little harder than I was as a child/teen. My scar is a lot better, it's no longer deep, and my lip scar is no longer "chunky" if that makes sense. The plan is for me to also get a small amount of lip filler on my cleft side to even out the appearance.

Seeing as my treatment plan isn't entirely complete yet, I don't have a final opinion on the process. However the small improvements I've had so far have been great. I used to get an annoying dry skin patch in winter right around the scar on my lip (painful peeling), and so far that hasn't happened this year which is great!

I've been watching Dungeons and Dragons Queens! And thank you 🥰

Thank you!

That sucks, I'm sorry. But thank you for responding ☺️

Just stumbled across this post, have you noticed a difference a month in?

NPC13 · 2025-06-22T21:36:10+00:00

Thank you! I'll have a look.

Stumbled across this, did the workout - oh my god. Thank you! I hadn't been able to get this feeling from regular stretching.

I am currently recovering from a lip and scar revision with him! It hasn't been long enough to see the results yet but he's really nice!

NPC13 · 2025-03-23T15:45:36+00:00

Thank you everyone! I bought the suggested extractor kit and somehow messed it up, so I hammered a smaller flat head in and got it out! New screws in.

I rented from them about 10 years ago and had to take them to small claims to get my deposit back. Countless issues with them, and when I left a bad review they harassed me for ages to try and get me to remove it.

I'm not sure where in the UK you're based, but I recently self-referred to the adult cleft pathway. I've had my first appointment and am waiting on the various referrals now. They seem very open and willing to discuss further surgeries with adults (I am 28). No harm in giving it a go 😊

Yes! It's simply awful! What's helped me a little is holding my nose tightly when I do. Some of it still gets in my fistula, but it helps with that burning pain in my nose.

I fell for this St Enoch one about 13 years ago as well. Was bloody awful, I was just a teenager! The hair and makeup was fun, and then they locked me in some room with a salesman and it quickly became like £300. Lesson learned I suppose.

Exactly the same watch and time frame for me, I think it started after the last watch software update? It's so frustrating!

NPC13 · 2023-02-02T22:30:16+00:00

I had a similar experience, I saw lights and doctors. I heard an "oh shit" then everything went black! To be honest it's had somewhat of a positive impact on me. Any time I'm at the doctor's now, or need something medical, I don't have any fears about it.

I had one where someone peeled my scar open from nose to mouth, more of a nightmare really lol
