Professional skateboarder Brooklinn Khoury continues to inspire fans worldwide as she moves forward with her long journey of recovery. The 23-year-old athlete, who lost her upper lip and part of her nose in a 2020 pit bull attack, recently shared an emotional update following what she hopes will be her final reconstructive surgery.
A Brave Step Forward
In a heartfelt Instagram video, Khoury revealed the progress from her most recent operation.
"I had my surgery two days ago, and today I’ll be getting my quilting sutures out," she explained while pointing to her upper lip. "Quilting sutures are the blue ones you see. They press down on the skin to reduce swelling and maintain the lip’s shape."
Following the removal, Khoury triumphantly captioned: “All the quilting sutures are out, and the blood flow is still strong! Everything is healing perfectly.”
A Long Road of Surgeries
Khoury has endured seven reconstructive surgeries since the attack, each one carefully performed to rebuild her upper lip and facial structure.
"Basically, my doctor is recreating the top lip — designing a Cupid’s bow and central columns to make it look more natural," she explained. "My doctor is very cautious and wants to do everything perfectly."
She has also reminded fans that the healing process takes time — swelling usually lasts six weeks, and sensation may take up to four months to return.
Finding Strength in Recovery
Despite the long recovery periods, Khoury remains determined to get back to the lifestyle she loves.
"That’s one of the hardest things, having to sit still instead of hiking, biking, surfing, and skating," she admitted. "But we’re almost at the finish line."
Fans have flooded her posts with words of encouragement, calling her resilience “inspiring” and “a true example of strength.”
