It\u2019s an abnormal development of blood vessels on the lower part of the face and neck, as well as on the inside of the mouth and throat. Danielle has been relentlessly trying to remove it her entire life, undergoing about 20 laser surgeries to at least lighten the mark.\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview, Danielle mentioned that her parents always told her not to think of her birthmark as a \u201cbad\u201d thing. Still, despite that, she decided to continue treatment because the blemish is not just a cosmetic nuisance and can also cause bleeding. The girl now feels like it\u2019s \u201ca part of her,\u201d but it upsets her when strangers tell her she \u201cshouldn\u2019t get rid of it,\u201d which is completely fair. Not your body \u2013 not your problem.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/04%5C/Woman-Goes-Through-20-Surgeries-To-Remove-A-Dangerous-Birthmark-1-1024x562.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-117047\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, they tell Danielle she can\u2019t hide it and that she is beautiful the way she is, as if any of their words matter to her. It shouldn\u2019t surprise anyone that different people treat their bodies differently. Sometimes, Danielle loves her unique features, and sometimes, they make her very sad.\n\n\n\n</p><p>All those people staring at her must have felt awful. Sure, most of them were simply curious, but sometimes those daggers hurt either way. Danielle\u2019s parents had to point out to strangers time after time that it\u2019s not a bruise, it\u2019s not a rash, it\u2019s just a birthmark.&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/04%5C/Woman-Goes-Through-20-Surgeries-To-Remove-A-Dangerous-Birthmark-2-744x1024.webp%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-117048\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p>Her parents decided to treat Danielle\u2019s birthmark from an early age and took her to several laser surgeries when she was a child. According to the girl, they made it a very pleasant experience. \u201cIt was like being pelted with tiny snowballs. First it burns, then it\u2019s cold, then it\u2019s hot again,\u201d said Danielle.&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/04%5C/Woman-Goes-Through-20-Surgeries-To-Remove-A-Dangerous-Birthmark-3-749x1024.webp%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-117049\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p>When she hit 13, Danielle had to undergo surgery on her lower lip because it had started to increase in size due to excessive blood flow. At that time, she underwent sclerotherapy, a procedure during which a solution is injected into the lip that cuts off the blood supply.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/04%5C/Woman-Goes-Through-20-Surgeries-To-Remove-A-Dangerous-Birthmark-4-819x1024.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-117050\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p>Danielle calls it the worst operation she\u2019s ever had. It caused a third-degree burn that turned into a scab that healed very slowly. Needless to say, the procedure was very unpleasant. Two years later, at the age of 15, Danielle underwent two plastic surgeries that further reduced the size of her lower lip. Over time, Danielle became more confident in her appearance.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/04%5C/Woman-Goes-Through-20-Surgeries-To-Remove-A-Dangerous-Birthmark-5-819x1024.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-117051\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p>Danielle met a handsome 28-year-old engineer named Zackary in college and said he responded wonderfully when she first showed him her birthmark. It didn\u2019t take the couple long to get to know each other better and eventually get married. In 2019, Danielle decided to continue the laser treatment because there was a risk of her lip growing out of control again and the blood vessels could bleed.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/04%5C/Woman-Goes-Through-20-Surgeries-To-Remove-A-Dangerous-Birthmark-6-821x1024.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-117052\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, it is what it is, and she has to live with the birthmark. Danielle has never considered herself a victim. The mark is part of who she is, and as long as her family and friends give her love and moral support, it\u2019s not a big deal.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>28-year-old&nbsp;Danielle Lipple&nbsp;was born with an unusual birthmark on her face called a vascular malformation.
