A WOMAN was left looking like a character from the animated movie Monsters Inc after getting her lip filler dissolved.
The recent months have seen plenty of beauty buffs having epic glow-downs and embracing their natural features – which also means getting rid of their juicy pouts.
However, for one woman, Kimia Ahwazi, the journey to a more natural appearance went horribly wrong after she got her lip filler dissolved.
Taking it to TikTok, the young dark-haired beauty shared a series of selfies after the procedure – which, she joked, caused her lips to ”explode”.
Following the treatment, Kimia, thought to be from the Netherlands, noticed significant swelling – which is a normal side effect.
This is because when filler is injected or dissolved, the body reacts to the minor trauma by releasing white blood cells, which causes inflammation and swelling, warned the experts at Karidis Clinic.
”The lips are particularly susceptible because there are so many blood vessels.
”Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are also more prone to swelling as they act as humectants, attracting 1,000 times their weight in moisture,” they explained.
However, nothing could prepare the Dutch beauty for what was to come, as mortified Kimia said it kept ”getting worse”.
”Was literally about to explode,” Kimia said in the now-viral video, where her pout had ballooned up around three to four times its normal size.
Horrified by what she was seeing in the camera, the beauty buff said she even considered taking drastic measures and was ”about to sue someone”.
Checking out her reflection, Kamia, who posts under the username @kimiaahwazi, even went was far as comparing herself to ”Marge Simpson”.
Despite the jaw-dropping results, Kamia tried to cheer herself up by ”overlining them for the vibes” – and bizarrely confessed she even ”started to like the plump”.
‘Quack if you need help’
Since being posted online, the clip has taken the internet by storm, winning the beauty buff a whopping 3.1million views, over 95k likes and 11k shares.
What are the risks of lip fillers?
THE RISKS of dermal fillers depend on whether the procedure was done correctly and the type of filler used.
The NHS recommends you speak to your practitioner about the risks beforehand.
Serious problems are rare but can include:
- Infection
- A lumpy appearance under the skin, which might need to be treated with surgery or medicine
- The filler moving away from the intended treatment area, which may need to be removed using surgery
- Scarring
- Blocked blood vessels in the face, which can cause tissue death and permanent blindness
You should see your GP if you have any complications that need medical attention and speak to your practitioner if you’re not happy with the results or experience lumpiness.
