Cosmetic Procedures It Isn’t Worth It
Sally Roberts wants other woman to think twice about having cosmetic procedures.
Roberts said “On Saturday I had 1ml lip filler… (injected by a qualified nurse in a reputable salon), they were fine initially and I was happy with the result, but by the following morning they had swelled to the point I couldn’t eat, drink or talk properly and was in absolute agony, they continued to swell and GP advised me to go straight to A&E as I was at risk of going into anaphylactic shock.
It is now thought I’ve had a severe allergic reaction to the filler and acquired a nasty infection. After being in excruciating pain for days with rock hard, cracked, peeling, leaking lips, I am now on the mend thank god… I’m on steroids, antibiotics, anti inflammatories, anti histamines and strong pain relief.
If I hadn’t have improved by today I was going to have to stay in hospital and go on a drip, but luckily the meds have started working and my lips have gone down in size but still nowhere near ‘normal looking’.
This isn’t a post slating cosmetic surgery btw as I love Botox and have never had any reactions with that, and I’ve always really wanted my lips done… but this has been a massive eye opener for me, I looked like something out of a horror film… there are more photos but not ones I’d share on here as I look like a crack head, my whole face was disfigured due to the swelling. So…
