A woman has left TikTokers horrified after sharing the disastrous results of her botched lip filler – which left her mouth double its usual size.
Jessica Burko, 28, was offered free fillers after winning a giveaway on Instagram, but what should have been a treat took a rather unfortunate turn.
Instead of getting a juicy pout, Jessica was left with painful lips “twice” their usual size. Incredibly, the experience hasn’t put her off of injectables, and Jessica went back to her usual person for more lip fillers.
Sharing the before and after pictures on TikTok, viewers were horrified as over 11.5 million viewed the results.
“I started to freak out when I got back to my car and my lips were twice the size,” Jessica, a model and office manager, told NeedToKnow.co.uk.
“It hurt like hell, which was weird because I know it shouldn’t.
“My skin went extremely red practically immediately after. I knew that definitely wasn’t normal.
“I went back up to the place, and they prescribed me a steroid which didn’t even end up working.
“When I got home, the lips were the size in the video.
“My face started to swell up and drop.”
In the video, Jessica, from Los Angeles, US, shares a picture of her before the process, with her lips covered in numbing cream.
It then skips to a video of her in the car after her treatment, with huge, red lips.
Jessica then shows a side angle of her face, revealing how swollen it had gotten.
The video garnered over 820,000 likes and thousands of comments from shocked users.
Hasan said: “The way I SCREAMED.”
Chantelle commented: “My biggest fear, I’m sorry this happened to you! Hope you’re healing well and don’t have any further complications.”
“I’m lowk surprised they didn’t burst open ouch,” said someone else. [sic]
“That’s why you don’t go to anyone else than a doctor!” said Spizama.
“Omg this looks so painful,” wrote Stephanie.
“Kylie Jenner,” said someone else.
Jessica later went to a different beauty parlour to have them dissolved.
She said: “After dissolving, my lips went down fast and my face was sagging, but after a full week I was back to normal.”
She then went on to get fillers again, going back to her original injector.
She said: “What I would tell anyone is – please do research, if you found someone you love and does an amazing job, stick with them.
“If you plan to go to anyone else, make sure you ask questions and be 100% sure that they can do what you ask or know how to do the work you want.
“Don’t just jump in because it sounds good or there is a deal going on.
“Do your research, and stick to who you know.”
