Leona Omalley, 24, paid a beautician £180 to come to her home in Wigan, Greater Manchester, and inject her lips in the hope of improving her pout. But her lips started stinging and eventually became so sore she had to phone an ambulance.
Leona, a mother-of-three described how she was taken to A&E after fillers left her lips looking like 'raw sausages tied together on her face'.
She claimed the woman had poor hygiene and did not wear gloves or carry the needles in a sterile case. She also said she did not fully explain the consent form.
Leona said: 'She knelt down at the side of me and injected me from one angle on the left-hand side. She stabbed into my mouth all in one shot. It was over in two seconds, I've never experienced pain like it.
'My mouth and lips were pumping out blood and I was panicking, I was told "don't worry it's normal for it to do that", and then she left.'
Miss Omalley said she was left in pain following the treatment.
'My face started going tight and my eyes were swelling up,' she said. 'My mouth swelled up so badly I couldn’t speak or have a drink.'
Hospital medics prescribed steroids which reduced the swelling but Miss Omalley insisted her lips have not yet returned to their normal size.
'I cried and couldn't look in the mirror,' she said. 'I went to take a selfie and put my camera on, when I looked at myself and just thought "what have I done?" I was heartbroken.'
Miss Omalley said her five-year-old daughter Lily was 'traumatised' by the incident and that she couldn't let her other children, 18-month-old Nellie and seven-month-old Tommy, near her mouth.
She added: 'When my mum saw me she was heaving and being sick. My dad was really upset too. My boyfriend Gareth was really worried about me. He's always telling me not to do it.'
Leona is now urging women to fully research before undergoing the needle.
Harley Street cosmetic doctor Dr Dan Dhunna said: 'Cheap is not chic. You don't search for fillers like you would a bargain in the sales.
