Have scar tissue in lip caused by an accident when I was younger, can I still get lip fillers? (photos)

Question

Hi everyone, I have a question. When I was younger I fell and my tooth cut my lip in half. The doctors said it would heal with some sort of glue. It didnt heal nice and now I have a scar in my lip. You can feel 2 hard scar pieces on the rear side of my lip and when I smile you can see it a little bit. Will I be able to get lip fillers? I have an appointment next saturday but I am afraid I will get dissapointed. Maybe the juvederm can get stuck in the scars? I have no idea! Thanks for helping

fillers can be successfully injected to smooth out lip scars. sometimes if the scar is quite deep then I might perform some scar revision before the lip injection. but that depends upon the patient and their scar. u can look at some of the pics on my website.

Yes you can get filler in the lips even with scar tissue, but injection technique needs to be more meticulous.  I suggest you see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question. You should have an excellent result with the injection of fillers into the lips if performed by an experienced doctor. It might be possible to improve the appearance of the scar as well.  Good luck,

You can certainly have lip augmentation with a hyaluronic acid filler. An experienced injector can inject around the scarred area and create a natural look. If the procedure is not done correctly the scarring can be more visible. This is why it is important to have your lip augmentation done with by an experienced injector. Best of Luck!

You should be able to do Juvederm even if you have scarring. If done by a certified doctor with experience, you should have nice results and your scar should be less visible.  Good luck.
