A mum’s quest for a cosmetic glow-up before her 30th birthday turned into a nightmare as her lips swelled and began to rot after receiving fillers. Nicole McManus, from Lancashire, had used fillers for ten years without issues but experienced complications after her last treatment. Her cheeks swelled first, followed by severe swelling in her lips, leading to a diagnosis of necrosis. After treatment to dissolve the fillers, Nicole is left feeling “deformed and botched” and urges others to think twice before undergoing cosmetic procedures.
