A mother revealed how she was left with massive lips three times the normal size after she decided to undergo cheap filler treatment.
25-year-old Louise Smith from West Sussex, UK, is a mother-of-two who was thrilled when a local beautician offered her a promo price of just over $100 for filler treatment.
While the mom was initially a bit skeptical about it all due to the affordable price, she eventually agreed to the deal after the practitioner reassured her she was a professional.
Some half-way into the procedure, Smith was allegedly forced to ask the practitioner to stop after experiencing severe pain and almost fainting.
Following the filler treatment, her lips ballooned to three times the normal size, whereas the practitioner stopped responding to her concerns and blocked her number. It wasn’t until Smith spoke out about the botched treatment on Facebook that the woman finally agreed to refund her customer.
After speaking to another beautician, Smith was told to let her lips settle down before potentially undergoing a corrective treatment.
“An hour after getting my lips done they swelled up and then later that evening they were absolutely massive. They were three times the size they should be,” Smith recalled.
“I knew from the first time I had my lips done that swelling would go down in a day or two and be OK. It was the wonkiness that was bothering me.
“When they went down, they didn’t feel any better because they were just wonky and uneven. It was upsetting looking in the mirror and seeing them like that. It looked like I’d been punched in the face quite a few times, they were just horrible.”
She added: “I was left with a solid, massive lump a bit bigger than a jellybean on my top lip and another one but bigger on my bottom right lip. There’s one the size of a 5p and the rest are about the size of a bb bullet, there are loads of them on the inside of my mouth.
“The lumps are still sore now, I’ve been told to try and massage them to help slowly get rid of it but it really hurts because the lumps in my lips are so solid, big and really deep.”
Following the incident, Smith has urged people to thoroughly research the place where they’re going to have their lips done to avoid the same fate.
“My advice to people looking to get their lips done is to check the business pages, read reviews, ask to see their qualifications and before and after pictures,” she said.
