A mum claims her lips were left looking like a baboon's bum after suffering a horror allergic reaction to fillers saw them balloon to six times their normal size and land her in hospital. Lauren Evens had her filler topped up last week [APR 20] but an hour later her lips began to swell until they eventually became so 'huge' that she dashed to A&E at the Countess of Chester that evening.
The 29-year-old was given antihistamines but the swelling became so severe that she could no longer talk and her 'airways started to close', so she was rushed into resus and given adrenaline. After a painful and terrifying experience, the beauty therapist trainee who has been having filler for the past four years is keen to raise awareness that such allergies can develop at any time.
Footage captured by the mum-of-two shows her lips which became so red and swollen that she compared them to the primate's infamous backside, and they've amassed more than 23,000 likes, comments and views on TikTok. Lauren, of Chester, Cheshire, said: "My lips looked like a baboon's bum.
