Woman 'almost lost her top lip'; know shocking reason

A woman left horrified after her lip filler surgery went wrong. The woman revealed how the filler injection went wrong and almost destroyed her top lip.

A woman named Chandra Morton, 26, from Johnson City, Tennesse, has shared her scary experience after having cosmetic surgery.

According to mirror.co.uk, Morton who is a waitress by profession says her face changed colour and white blisters began to appear due to vascular occlusion, which happens when the circulation of oxygen is blocked from the area.

After her lip surgery procedure was completed, her lips felt so numb and started turning white.

Even her face changed and there were white blisters on her face.

"I was absolutely terrified and I was in so much pain. I was told that if I waited a day longer I would have lost my entire top lip to necrosis,” Morton told.

However, the unnamed doctor managed to reverse the damage by using hyaluronic acid- use to heal the wounds and also used in lip filler surgery.

As of now, Chandra has healed and hence, she decided she’ll never get her face injected again and warns others of the dangers.

“I'm not trying to scare people, I just want to raise awareness of the risks that come with getting filler injected into your face,” Chandra said.

In March 2021, Chandra saved up for a month to have the £557 procedure done.

She claimed that 0.5ml was injected into her top lip and she was excited to see the results of the surgery. But what happened with her was not just painful but scary too.

Chandra also revealed that for the next two days, she didn’t receive any medical help. Later, when her doctor saw her face via video call, he also started freaking out and said that in 12 years of doing filler, he had never seen anything like this.

She also took advice from another doctor, who told her that she had vascular occlusion and could have necrosis setting in.

After then, she decided to approach the doctor who had done her filler. Her doctor injected four shots of hyaluronic acid to fix the issue.

'It was so painful and I was screaming while it was happening. I went back home thinking that it seemed better but more blisters were appearing and my face was still going whiter,” Chandra said.

However, she had taken more shots of hyaluronic acid.

'The next day I had to go back again for nine more shots of hyaluronic acid in my face.'

'My whole face was so swollen and I hadn't eaten for almost a week because of the amount of pain my mouth had been in.'

Thankfully, the doctor had corrected his mistakes. She was given some numbing cream and medication to help with scaring.
