The attack happened while Khoury was in the kitchen petting Diesel, her cousin’s 8-year-old blue-nosed pit bull. Having interacted with the dog before, she never imagined it would turn aggressive. In a sudden attack, the dog severely injured her upper lip. Staying calm, Khoury immediately went to the hospital, but doctors were unable to repair the damage.

Reflecting on the moment, she shared that she accidentally took a photo of her injury without realizing it. “I knew it was bad, but I didn’t realize how bad it was,” she explained. That photo, however, has since become a crucial tool for her doctor to understand the extent of the damage.

“The first time I saw my face after surgery, it was scary,” she admitted. “But I thought, ‘Okay, it’s time to love this new version of myself for now.’”

Surgeries Become a Way of Life

As a result of the attack, Khoury has undergone numerous reconstructive surgeries and will likely need more in the future. Despite the physical and emotional challenges, she approaches each procedure with optimism.

“I don’t have specific expectations for how I’ll look after surgery,” she shared. “For me, it’s about learning to love what I see. Before the attack, I focused on small things that didn’t even matter—like a zit on my lip. Fifteen minutes later, my entire lip was gone.”

Inspiring Positivity

Khoury’s honesty and positivity have made her a source of inspiration for many. She continues to share updates on her recovery, posting progress photos and heartfelt reflections. “Almost three weeks post-op! Everything is healing so well. Still pretty swollen, but I’m so blessed with the results,” she wrote in one post.
