The newlyweds said they had to postpone their wedding because they didn’t want to take unopened defective fillings with them.
Emma Griffin had to find a new beautician to fill in her lip fillers after moving to a new area.
In February 2019, she found a beautician who claimed to have medical training, so Emma made an appointment.
However, she accuses her practitioner of significantly plumping her lips, giving her “giant hot dog lips.”
Hiding behind a face mask, Emma, 40, desperately tried to find someone to untangle her bulging artwork.
Emma, from Tuxford, Nottinghamshire, said: ‘My lips were like two giant hot dog sausages and I was like, ‘Oh my God.
I was told the swelling would go away, but it didn’t go away at all. It was terrible.
“Actually, it’s injected into my water pipe, and the filler loves water, so I keep feeding it.
“He had a small lump the size of a grain of rice under his lip. It looked like he had a stroke on one side.
– It was like a roar – when I smiled, you couldn’t see one side of my teeth because there was only this tumor.
“I didn’t have a clear definition for my lips. All I wanted was a Cupid’s bow and a little more volume, but it was over the top.”
“If you put a pencil on your upper lip, it stays there.
“All of them were cosmetically off and had a huge impact on my confidence and life.”
Her confidence was so shaken that when her now-husband proposed to her, her first thought was that she wouldn’t be able to attend the wedding with those lips.
“My husband asked me to marry him,” she said.
I couldn’t imagine my lips looking like this on my wedding day, so we didn’t plan our wedding until someone busted it and reshaped my lips.
“I didn’t want to look in the mirror or smile. I woke up every morning and it was all on my face.”
It wasn’t until March of this year that Emma was able to find a doctor willing to take on the task and change her weight.
Having studied aesthetics herself, Emma says she understands the doctor she went to didn’t follow proper “protocol” when injecting.
She had never had a problem doing her lips before.
emma says:
I thought. I usually do it every 9-12 months, so after 9 months it will be fine. ”
“At this stage, we were still stuck.” At that time, I had to cover my face, so I was very lucky, so I hid behind a mask for a year.
When I started working out, I started to freak out a bit when I realized that the lumps in the faucet would never go away.
“Everyone I’ve approached for removal said, ‘You should go back to your original doctor,’ but I didn’t think he’d ever get close to my face again.
With the stuffing arranged, Emma was finally able to go ahead with her wedding plans with confidence.
She married Owen Griffin, 37, last July, 18 months after getting engaged in December 2020.
But Emma is still feeling the effects of her failed job. She now has to get fillers and tattoos every year to explain her “too stretched” lips.
emma says:
“I’m married, I can laugh, I can look in the mirror and I feel the same.
They replaced it and I had to get a tattoo too because my upper lip had lost all its pigment and had white spots.
“The reality is that I still have to keep doing it because my skin has stretched. When I take it off, it’s just as worn and saggy, and it never grows back.”
“If you don’t put padding on it to give it some sort of structure, it just looks sloppy.”
Emma now wants to warn the others not to use fillers that she hasn’t researched enough.
he said:
You should get a free consultation, view their portfolio, talk to previous clients, check insurance, and google this professional.
Do your homework and keep going. You do not have to do it. Better develop these things.
“I should always be in the ‘Golden Room,’ so it has to be an improvement, not a fix that happened to me in the end.”
