Unable to afford £200 injectable chemical fillers, part-time swimwear model and retail worker Gail Scott, was intrigued when she heard about a DIY version.
Gail had heard about a tool available online, which promises an enhanced look without injections. Buyers suck into a lip shaped vessel to increase blood supply to the lips, temporarily giving an artificial plumped look.
Instead of spending £30 on the product, she used the lid of a mini hairspray bottle instead. After placing it over her lips, she sucked for five minutes until her lips started to tingle.
She said: ‘I look like I’ve been punched in the mouth. Apart from the pain, the dark bruising above my mouth looks like a moustache.'I feel ridiculous and I haven’t wanted to leave the house since. I thought I was saving money but it’s cost me a fortune in make-up trying to cover it up.
'My lips looked great after - but only for about three minutes until the bruising started and then my lips went down anyway.
'I want other women to know the dangers, it’s not worth it. I was lucky not to burst a blood vessel because since I posted my warning I’ve heard that can happen.’
Gail explains: ‘I know a lot of girls who have had it done because they like the way her lips look. It’s never been so popular.’So keen to keep up with her peers, Gail planned to have the procedure, too.
She explains: ‘It wasn’t that I was unhappy with my lips, I’ve never had an issue with them, but I liked the way enhanced lips look, especially around the cupids bow.'But at £200 a time she was struggling to save the cash. She said:
‘I wanted it done earlier this year but I’ve been saving for a holiday and then my laptop broke so when heard about a cheaper way I decided to try it.’
'I thought I’d saved money but it’s probably cost me that in foundation trying to cover it,’
