"It’s not worth it": Woman shares botched lip filler treatment
A UK woman has opened up about how a lip filler treatment she received made her lips “split open” in a horror reaction.
Alise took to TikTok to explain exactly what happened during the treatment she received in December 2020.
“When I had so much lip filler in my lips they split open and I looked like a duck,” she wrote on the video, which showed her miming the words of a soundbite taken from America’s Top Model.
The clip also showed a picture of her after the failed treatment, with swollen lips and a split down the middle.

Others on the platform were quick to share their sympathy for Alise and their own bad experiences.
“They look so much better now and they looked painful before,” one person wrote.
“Mine are the exact same! Getting them dissolved on Friday,” another shared.
In an earlier clip, she responded to a commenter’s request to see photos of her lips after the treatment with a series of images from before and after the treatment.
Alise said the split and swelling began several hours after the treatment, and blisters appeared within several days.
“This is when I contacted the practitioner and said something’s not right,” she recounted in the video.
“I sent them pictures, I wasn’t able to go into the salon. And they said I had facial herpes, just from looking at a picture.”
After seeking medical advice from her GP, Alise said she found out it was just an infection that caused the blisters.
“The practitioner gave me a full refund however took no responsibility,” she said in the clip, adding that she was made to sign a contract so she wouldn’t talk about the incident.
Alise discouraged her followers from getting the procedure done in another, even earlier clip which prompted her to share her story in several ‘story time’ videos.
“I do not recommend you get lip filler,” she said.
“It’s not worth it. It will ruin your natural lips over time.”
