Girl, 17, who got lip filler illegally was left with 'pufferfish lips'

A teenager was left looking like a 'pufferfish' with 'wonky' lips after getting lip filler underage from a beautician she found on Facebook. Evie-Grace Keeler's injections burst a blood vessel in her lips, causing them to swell and turn purple for a fortnight. The 17-year-old, from near Middlesbrough, admitted that the beautician had 'lots of bad reviews', but still went ahead with the £65 ($82) procedure because no-one else was willing to 'do them while she was underaged'.

Miss Keeler says her lips became swollen almost instantly afterwards and they kept growing in size for another two days.u00a0It left the health and social care student 'embarrassed' to leave home, and drinking through a straw because she couldn't close her mouth properly.
