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
