A BEAUTY blogger has revealed she almost lost her lip after having a botched filler treatment.
Cassidy Valentine, 21, told Sky News she had the cosmetic treatment in the hope of feeling better about herself – but it led to her lip nearly “dying”.
The clinic Cassidy contacted offered to do the procedure for free, but she refused as she didn’t want to influence other young girls on YouTube.
Cassidy started to have regrets during the treatment and saw her lips swell “profusely” after getting the injections – with the vlogger soon realising things had gone horribly wrong.
She immediately went back to the clinic but says they “brushed off” her concerns and advised her to take an antihistamine allergy tablet.
So she sent another clinic a video of her lips and they rushed her in as an emergency. Terrifyingly, they explained Cassidy’s lip was “dying”.

Cassidy said: “They couldn’t find a pulse in my lip. My artery had been occluded and my lip was hours from falling off as it was dying.
“If I hadn’t contacted the second clinic, I would not have a top lip.”
She added: “It was really scary – they had to dissolve it all. Honestly, I did feel like it would make me feel better (about myself) but it didn’t. ”
What are lip fillers and are they safe?
Lip fillers are a popular trend, where a cosmetic surgeon will inject a dermal filler to plump up your lips
These types of dermal fillers are sometimes called “hyaluronic acid fillers”
There are a number of different substances used in the injection
Temporary fillers need redoing every six to nine months, with semi-permanent lasting over two years
Many doctors would argue strongly against getting the procedure at a spa or a beauty salon
A beautician hasn’t had the same training and they are most definitively not able to prescribe medication or treatment if something were to go wrong
