One year go I went for a simple hot wax operation to cosmetologist to remove thin hair from my upper lip. My cosmetologist who was unexperienced, did use excess strength. The wax tool got stuck and sharp edges scratced my skin all over my upper lip, leaving also a clear, visible hole in the middle of lip line. Now, looking alike my lips had aged for twenty years at once. I then went to see a plastic surgeon who suggest me to go for a lipo transfer. Is there anything else, more gentle options available?
