Changing lives one face at a time

Back in 1999 I had a lady client call me stating she had heard about me through her doctors. She stated that they told her to get in touch with me for corrective work on her cleft lip.


She had this lip problem for 60 years and there wasn't anything the doctors could do for her. She flew down to Florida so I could see her scarred lip, and after I worked on her lip, she became teary eyed. She said that she had lived with this defect for 60 years of her life. A man could camouflage with a mustache, but being a women she couldn't cover her upper lip nor could she wear lipstick.

When she came back in 4 weeks, she said she couldn't believe how it had changed her life. She felt like a normal person. I was blessed to see her again a few years later. Her color was still there, her lip still looked normal and it felt so good to see her smile. She stated she never wanted to go back to the way it had been. Her old look was now part of her past and she never wanted to return there.

So I added more color to her lip and down the road she went.


Permanent makeup isn't just about being able to "wake up with make up," it's also about life-changing moments like hers.
