In 2020, pro skateboarder Brooklinn Khoury was visiting family when a relative’s pit bull suddenly attacked her — tearing off her entire upper lip and part of her nose in one bite.
Doctors told her bluntly: “We don’t have a simple way to rebuild a human lip.” Lips require muscle, shape, symmetry — one of the hardest things in surgery.
But while most people would disappear after an injury like that, Brooklinn did the opposite. She turned on her phone… and showed the world everything. The missing lip. The swelling. The rebuilding.
In 2021, surgeons used skin and tissue from her forearm to begin crafting a new upper lip. More surgeries followed — reshaping, refining, restoring function and symmetry. Piece by piece, her face was rebuilt.
And while her body healed, she kept skating, modeling, and sharing every step — becoming a rare public example of what recovery really looks like. Today, Brooklinn isn’t defined by the attack — she’s defined by the way she refused to hide.
