A YOUNG woman has warned beauty fans about the dangers of getting filler after it left her having a sack behind her lip.
Charlotte Elizabeth took to TikTok to share her shock when she ended up having a big lump dangling from her top lip.
She is now urging others to make sure they do their research when it comes to finding a medical expert to do cosmetic tweakments.
Charlotte, who goes by the name of @itschar on TikTok, shared a close up video of her lip and it has since gone viral with over 1.8 million views.
The beauty fan captioned the video: “This isn’t what I had in mind ma’am.”
As she zoomed in to her top lip, and lifted it slightly with her finger you can see a sack just on the inside of her lip which falls down.
With her video going viral, Charlotte received hundreds of comments from other horrified beauty fans.
One wrote: “I ain’t getting filler no more.”
Another said she will continue to go, but just won’t go to a “cheap doctor.”
A third beauty fan has also experienced the same but refuses to stop getting it done.
She wrote: “Mine is so bad but I refuse to get it dissolved just yet.”
Charlotte replied back writing: “It’s sooooo hard letting go of your filler isn’t it. Emotional attachment.”
Others were warned about their experience with filler as well.
One wrote: “The scariest thing about filler is that it doesn’t dissolve. It just thins and collects elsewhere.”
Dermal fillers are injections that plump up wrinkles and smooth lines on your face.
People often opt for using them to prevent or banish facial wrinkles, provide facial volume, or augment facial features.
Ashton Collins, who is director at Save Face, has revealed the big risk to cosmetic injections.
“The main risk here is that you really don’t know WHAT is being injected, you risk infection, prolonged swelling and pain and possible scarring if your body reacts to this substance and should you have serious complications an expert is challenged to treat you because they don’t know what they are dealing with.
If the product is injected accidentally into an artery it can cause permanent and catastrophic damage to the skin and in rare cases, permanent blindness.”
But it is important to check with your doctor first to see what facial filler you are getting as some do not dissolve.
According to the Aesthetics by Stephanie website, they wrote: “Hyaluronic acid-based fillers gradually degrade over time, lasting from six months to two years, while non-hyaluronic acid fillers last longer.
“Some fillers, like Gore-Tex and silicone, are permanent, but their appearance can be reduced over time.”
