Young mum hospitalised as lip filler treatment goes horribly wrong and leaves her with 'duck lip'

A young mum says she ended up in hospital after a botched filler treatment left her with a 'duck lip.' Grace Palmer, 23, then claims the practitioner threatened to 'smash her face in' if she told anyone about her 'horrendous' experience.

Grace said her top lip ballooned to triple its usual size after the needle was twice inserted into her lips. She was in so much pain Grace, from Lancashire, was forced to leave the home of the aesthetics practitioner, who promised she could have the 1ml of filler still in the syringe at a later date.

However the following day, after her lip became so big colleagues of the care assistant said they feared she may lose it - she paid a visit to A+E where she was given tablets to combat the swelling.
