I got bitten by a dog on my top lip around 2015 the surgeon done an amazing job with re attachment but I have grown so insecure about this so i have asked a couple of people who carry out the procedure but I have found that they will not do it due to the unsureity that the fillers will be ok I was wondering if it would actually be possible to get this procedure Carried out safely without the risk of filler lying under the scar tissue

Answer: Fillers after dog bite Sellers may or may not be helpful for making your lips look better. Areas that are contracted by scar tissue may not respond Normally to fillers. It looks like there’s an area of fullness on your right upper lip. Perhaps a surgical revision of your lip could help.

Answer: Dermal fillers in lip with scar tissue Hi there, thank you for your question and photos. I've actually treated patients with a scar on the lip with dermal fillers. It was done in several stages as we needed to break the scar tissue first (usually with a cannula) to make space for the dermal filler. We first started with the softest dermal filler just to see how it spreads or how the tissue will take it before proceeding with the usual lip filler which is slightly more dense. I would also want to palpate your scar tissue because from your picture, it looks like there is an area that is hypertrophic which can be soften or flatten by kenalog (steroid) injection. That is how I would approach your treatment. Hope that helps.
