“So Blessed With the Results!” Model, Whose Lip Was TORN OFF by a Pit Bull, Proudly Shows off Her Revived Smile

Brooklinn Khoury, an influencer who gained fame after a dog attack in 2020, has documented her recovery journey on social media. With over 450,000 followers on her Instagram account, Khoury has amassed significant support. She also shares her story through vlogs on her YouTube channel, motivating many people to never give up on their hopes and dreams.

This woman’s life changed just in one day.

Pro skateboarder Brooklinn Khoury has recently shared the results of her latest reconstructive surgery on social media. After being attacked by a pit bull in 2020 and losing her upper lip and part of her nose, the 23-year-old has undergone seven surgeries to reconstruct her face. In a series of photos, Khoury showcases the results of what she hopes will be her final procedure. In her interview, she opens up about the surgery and her emotions as she nears the end of her journey.

“Basically, my doctor is recreating my top lip in this surgery — creating a Cupid’s bow and central columns. So kind of making my lip look more aesthetic,” Khoury told in her interview, saying that her surgeries normally take all day to complete. “My doctor is very cautious and wants to do everything perfectly.”

According to her, Khoury’s recovery from her latest reconstructive surgery may take up to 6 weeks. Khoury revealed that she wouldn’t have any feeling in her upper lip immediately after the procedure. It may take up to 4 months for the sensation to return.

Surgeries have now become a part of Brooklinn’s life.

Since she survived a pitbull attack, Brooklinn has become the permanent patient of a plastic surgeon, which might seem like quite a challenge, both physically and mentally.

She has no specific expectations for the appearance of her face after her reconstructive surgeries, despite her doctor’s reputation for perfectionism.

“My personal hope, just like any surgery that I do, is just learning to love what I see,” she says. “Before, I just focused on such little things that didn’t even matter. Like for instance, I had a zit on my upper lip right when the attack happened, and I remember being so insecure about it. And then 15 minutes later, my entire lip was gone.”

Brooklinn became a real inspiration for others with her optimism.

On her Instagram, Brooklinn continues sharing the results of her recovery and inspiring many people with her positivity. In one of her posts, she writes, “Almost three weeks post-op! Everything is healing so well. Still pretty swollen but so blessed with the results!”

“I have always been a confident person, and I’ve never really cared about what I look like. I genuinely love myself and the way that I look, but society doesn’t always think the same as me,” she shares, explaining that this is why she’s been so open with sharing her story on social media despite all of the rude stares or critical comments she gets.

“For me personally, there’s no point in being self-conscious, and I think posting on social media definitely has helped heal,” Khoury says. “On social media, I’m very transparent. What you see is how I am in person.”
