How can I fix damaged upper lip from bleaching cream?

s4dbe4rJul 21, 2016
a couple days ago i bleached my upper lip hairs with bleaching cream, and i took it off and my upper lip was a shade or two lighter than my face.. that faded a little and is not too noticeable.. until i turn red and im afraid that if i get tanner my upper lip will be extra noticeable. i always wear sunscreen and already (besides the lighter skin shade) have a pigmented upper lip shadow. Please help me, i want my lips to be even with my face and it's just horrible to deal with. Thank you.

Lip scar tissue is easily removed under local and so worth it. You can drive yourself home and have a fairly quick recovery.

A nasolabial fold cannot be created, but will likely form with time and aging. To plump your upper lip,  fillers look natural if done with skill and expertise. I suggest you see an expert for treatment and someone who truly understands contouring. Best, Dr. Emer
