I got a tattoo and realized I’m allergic to permanent marker and sought treatment and realized I have Dermatographia. I do have other tattoos that a marker wasn’t used to outline it and I was fine but I'm scared to get my lips done thinking my body won’t accept it.

Dear bumblebean,
I perform a lot of lip injections with fillers such as juvederm and it works great. Many times I need to put more in one side than the other to attempt to even out the vermillion border (The red line of the lip). This helps provide more symmetry at times.For patients looking for...
If you have used diazepam in the past for anxiety then it is fine to use it prior to your lip injections. I recommend discussing it with your injector prior to your appointment. Often times injectors will use numbing creams prior to treatment to make you more comfortable.
I think lip filler would help but an in person consult would be needed to see how firm the scar is.. It might be necessary to surgically remove the scar first.
