I had a piece of my upper lip bitten off by a dog six months ago. I just had scar revision and fat grafting done 11 days ago. I’m devastated. It’s still so apparent that half my lip is completely gone. There’s no lip line or vermillion border on the upper left side. I can’t even look at myself in the mirror. I’m devastated. Please is there anything that can be done?

Early on it is not uncommon for scars to feel hard or be slightly raised. A single hard lump may represent a stitch or localized inflammation. In any event, it may be advisable to have it evaluated to ensure you are healing as expected.
Yes that can be revised and improved with different techniques either surgically or with injections. However, I would advise to wait at least 6 months before doing any revisions.
