Love Island 's Shaughna Phillips has shared a candid video of her lip fillers being dissolved as she encouraged her followers to be body confident.
The 27-year-old, who shot to fame in the winter edition of ITV ’s Love Island in 2020, wants to embrace a more natural look, and told her fans she wanted them to work on separating “their happiness from their body image”.
Shaughna underwent the procedure as she aims to “practice what she preaches”, and shared candid details of her appointment with her 1.5 million followers in a video on Monday.
“The real reason I'm sharing my lips dissolving journey is because I have been preaching about separating your happiness from your body image,” she told the camera, as she walked through London's Marylebone, and confessed she was “nervous”.
“I've been putting this off for so long because I just can't bear the thought of having lips anymore. It will be all done in two weeks, all fresh and new so I'm trying to practice what I preach,” Shaughna explained.
The clip then showed her having a patch test done, in order to check she wouldn’t have an allergic reaction, followed by a close-up of her lips being injected.
“I am done. My lips are a little bit swollen because of the treatment, they'll be gone in about six hours and then I'll have no lips so I'm gonna enjoy this six hours,” she said.
“You know, what you build it all up in your head but it really ain't nothing is it? It's bloody lips, life goes on. It really weren't that bad,” Shaughna added.
In the caption, she revealed her relief at getting her filler dissolved, and said it was a ”fresh start” after suffering problems with them after having her teeth straightened.
“I GOT MY LIPS DISSOLVED. My amazing @dermaplusaesthetics has been doing my lips 8 years now but it was time for a fresh start,” she wrote.
'I had some lumps in my bottom lip and migration in my top lip, mainly from me still having lip filler while I had invisalign. Yes my dentist told me not to, no I didn't listen, yes I am a t**t,” Shaughna continued.
“I was SO hesitant about having my lips dissolved because I honestly don't remember what I even look like without them! But there's more to life than what size your bloody lips are,” she shared.
Despite promising to practice what she preaches in the video, Shaughna said she will be back in two weeks time to have a small amount of lip filler added again.
“I'll be back in 2 weeks time and will start from scratch, this time I'll be doing a little here and there so I can really get the shape, I cannot wait,” she wrote.
Her fans flooded the comments with positive words about her new lips, with one writing: “Can I just say, your lips look SO MUCH better natural.”
“I think you look even more beautiful without all the filler,” another added, as a fan pleaded: “Leave them as they are now!! They look so good!”
