How to improve the appearance or removal of a lip scar?
Dermal FillersI have a scar on the border line of my lips after a surgery to reduce my lips 18 years ago. It was done when I was around 12 and I have camouflaged it with make up, but can’t anymore. I have tried lasers, steroids injections , creams, oils and nothing will completely flatten the scar. It has been white since I remember and when I smile it stretches making it more visible. Any recomendations?
Breast lift incisions not in the crease.

ASPS Roundtable: The Millennial Plastic Surgery Boom
Friday, May 5, 2023"When I think of culture, and I think of millennials, some of the characteristics that pop out... they're confident, they're optimistic, they're tolerant. Some of the key features are delayed family planning. People are getting married later and having kids later. People are congregating in bigger cities, more focus on education. I think a lot of these unique elements to this generation, coupled with the exposure to the internet and the various facets of social media, will create this whole new generation of plastic surgery patients."
ASPS Roundtable: Combination Procedures
Friday, April 7, 2023"People are so busy today. I find that a lot of our patients just... want several things, and it's just efficient for time management.

ASPS Roundtable: Differences Between Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeons
Friday, March 3, 2023"I think that it really it boils down to the length of training, the expertise that people are board-certified plastic surgeons have and the process to become board-certified because that's really all about patient safety. So, one way patients can do that is by seeing someone who is an ASPS Member Surgeon, because then they know that that person's going to have been board certified in plastic surgery."
