Woman nearly lost her lip after fillers injected at a 'botox party' caused mouth to swell twice its normal size

The beautician accidentally injected the lip filler into an artery which resulted in Rachael Knappier's mouth swelling up and also cutting off the blood supply to her lips.
UPDATED NOV 30, 2018

A woman's lips swelled up to around twice their normal size after she had dubious lip fillers injected into them while attending a 'Botox Party' in a friend's living room in August.

Twenty nine year-old Rachael Knappier wanted to have the wrinkle-erasing injection in her forehead but after a couple of glasses of Prosecco chose to have her lips filled for an estimated £220. The beautician accidentally injected the lip filler into an artery which resulted in Knappier's mouth swelling up and also cutting off the blood supply to her lips.

After the botched up procedure, she contacted a cosmetic surgery expert who warned Rachael that she could very well end up losing her top lip if the tissue starts to die. Around three days later, she was in a lot of pain as doctors injected her lips with a dissolving agent.
