Lip Dissolving Gone Wrong: Mum's Swollen Pout Horror

A Scottish mum from Edinburgh, identified as Demi, shared a distressing experience on TikTok after undergoing a lip filler dissolving procedure. The process, intended to achieve a more natural look, unexpectedly led to severe swelling of her lips. This significant inflammation occurred just 90 minutes before she was scheduled to pick up her child from nursery, causing considerable panic.

Experts explain that swelling is a normal side effect when lip fillers are dissolved. This occurs because the body reacts to the procedure as minor trauma, triggering an inflammatory response. Lips are particularly prone to swelling due to their rich blood supply, and hyaluronic acid fillers can also attract moisture, exacerbating the issue. Demi humorously compared her swollen lips to Kris Jenner's reaction during a past vacation.
