Two women from Wales, Amber Dorgan and Emily Evans, have reported increased confidence after receiving dermal fillers to address scarring from cleft lip surgeries. While they express gratitude for the treatment, experts are raising concerns about the lack of regulation in the aesthetics industry, which may leave vulnerable individuals open to exploitation.
The NHS provides lifelong support for cleft lip patients, but there is a growing trend of seeking aesthetic treatments outside of traditional healthcare. This shift highlights the need for better regulation and awareness of available options for those affected by cleft conditions.
