A mum suffered such an extreme reaction to lip fillers that she looked like a 'blow-up doll' - leaving doctors 'laughing' at her 'fish lips' and her own mother worrying her 'face was ruined'. Charis Evans had been getting filler since she was 20 as it was the 'trend' and paid £90 for her third set of injections last year - however claims she's been left unable to eat spicy food or curries without her lips ballooning again.
The support worker had decided to try a different salon and got 1ml of filler injected into both of her lips but says that within hours they had ballooned to four times their normal size and felt like they were about to burst. Rushing to the hospital, Charis was given anti histamines and was forced to wear a mask 24/7 to hide the swelling, which the 22-year-old says were four times their normal size.
Thankfully, the swelling began to subside after a week but she is still suffering the consequences because she is forced to avoid curries as they swell again if she eats spicy food and she suffers shooting pains. Charis, from Birkenhead, Merseyside, said: "When I went and got them done, they started swelling quite soon after.
