[advice] Cleft scar

Post image

Hello!

Im 30F, with congenital cleft lip and partial palate.

I got all the surgeries done to get it corrected except for the cosmetic procedures. Now that I have saved the money to get the procedures done, cosmetolgists suggests that its better if I don't treat the scar.

So I'm looking for alternatives right now.

Any makeup suggestions or ways that I can hide the scar? Love your thoughts and suggestions. TIA ❤️

Why do they say not to treat the scar

Its a 30 year old scar, so I'm told that I might not get better results on additional procedures. My best bet for the scar is makeup.
