Woman horrified as lips swell to gigantic size after having filler dissolved

A young woman was left horrified when her lips swelled to an enormous size after she tried to have her filler removed - leaving her struggling to eat.

Cleo Symes uploaded a Tik Tok video of her terrifying experience, showing her lips with the filler still in and then after the beautician had applied numbing cream.

After a routine patch test, she was ready to have the filler dissolved, but was shocked to see her lips had grown to roughly four times their normal size, according to Hull Live.

Posting to her account @cleosymes, she can be seen laughing nervously before worriedly phoning her dad.

Thankfully Cleo's lips returned to a normal size the following day. (@cleosymes/Tiktok)

In a follow up clip she shared that "eating was a struggle".

Thankfully the swelling went down the following day - much to Cleo's relief.

The TikTok clip has been viewed more than 400,000 times with people shocked by what happened, The Sun reports.

Lip fillers or botox can cause serious risks with many people often not properly informed about potential side effects.

People are at risk of rotting tissue and horrific infections.

If too much is injected, or it's put into the wrong place, it can put pressure on the arteries and cut off the blood supply.
