If you’ve been following me, you might remember when I shared the story of a client who, beyond being dissatisfied with her dental alignment, was also unhappy with her facial aesthetics—specifically, the appearance of her lips and nose.
Last week, this lady returned for a private session, but now she’s facing a new issue: fibrosis nodules formed in her lips following hyaluronic acid injections.
Some technical details!
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the body, especially in the eyes and joints.
When injected under the skin to provide a plump and well-defined appearance, it can trigger an inflammatory response at the injection site.
Fibrosis nodules, especially in the lips, can arise for various reasons: the use of inappropriate fillers, allergic reactions to other ingredients in the product, improper injection techniques, low-quality hyaluronic acid, unique immune system responses, the development of a staphylococcal biofilm or other skin bacteria around the injected substance, or repeated injections without considering the condition, structure of the tissues, and the body as a whole.
The client shared with me that, paradoxically, she feels she hasn’t achieved inner balance and finds herself in the same place as before her lip augmentation—with the exception that now she also has to address these adverse effects.
Efforts are being made to dissolve the fibrosis using hyaluronidase, an enzyme used for this purpose, a diode laser, or, if necessary, minor surgical excision.
She also told me that she’s met other women facing the same issue, which gives her a sense of solidarity and helps her feel understood.
For my client, it took four years of perceptual error, several repeated injections, and an unexpected unpleasant outcome for her mind to open the door to the real cause behind her journey.
As a doctor, I know that exaggerations and unnatural distortions of tissues inevitably lead to their damage—sooner or later.
What’s truly interesting is that the condition of her lip tissues mirrors a mental pattern, illustrating where the tendency toward exaggeration can lead.
This situation represents an opportunity for my client to look deeper within herself and uncover the real motivations behind her decision years ago.
Can such a situation be prevented beyond proper medical evaluation?
Absolutely, through:
-A sustained interest in knowing yourself, understanding your personal priorities, and embracing the essence of your being.
-Awareness of mental patterns that shape not only external realities but also the balance of your body’s physiology.
-Investment in self-discovery rather than manipulating yourself to be accepted, loved, or to meet someone else’s standards.
-Careful examination of duality, because in the material world, everything is dual—it has two equal and complementary parts. If you desire youth, explore how it already exists in your life. If you seek beauty, define exactly what it represents for you—not for the world—and notice how it already exists within or around you. I’ve never seen a day without night, light without darkness, heat without cold, wet without dry, rough without smooth—the list goes on.
-Willingness to observe: “The more you desire something, the more you’ll generate its opposite.”
We will continue to explore this tendency toward exaggeration—both in aesthetics and in other areas of life.
Ultimately, beauty does not lie in radical transformations or artificial alterations but in highlighting natural features, respecting anatomy, making informed decisions, and embracing the process of self-discovery.
P.S. Knowing she had worked with other coaches, I asked her why she returned to me.
She simply said:
“Because you don’t dye your hair, and at this moment in my life, that speaks to me of authenticity.”
This reaffirmed for me how deeply authenticity can be expressed through one’s life, presence, and attitude—not just through words.
I warmly invite you to work together, to dissolve challenges, rewrite blockages, and celebrate uniqueness, balance, and harmony—first and foremost, in our relationship with ourselves.
