I'm only 17.
At the age of, well to be honest I don't even remember, but I'll say about four.
At four I had this accident when I'm guessing my lip was torn open but a sharp corner of a shelf. After the doctors stiched my lips closed again, they left a bump. Like a radom hideous ball just sort of hanging there.
My parents say the doctors told them as I grew up it would stretch out along with my face.
They were wrong, I'm only a couple months from being 18 and it's intact.
Now it feels like I was teased all these years when I could've just have had it fix then and there.
After doing some research I found that scars on lips can be quite uncomfortable and "weird" (lack of a better word.)
Anyway, I was really hoping I could get some professional advice on this, and maybe what Kind of surgeries are out there as possible options.
This has never been something to bother me or hurt me (physically, anyway...) in any form, however I fear this will affect me in other forms such as when I wish to be employed, I am aware of the superficial world we live in today and it's tough to have a scar on my face keeping me from feeling my possible best.
I would love it if anyone can help me on this.
