The beauty world was buzzing last week after News24 broke a story about a young woman who was left with terribly botched and injured lips after getting lip filler. The news outlet reports that the injector who performed the treatment is a local influencer and self-proclaimed “doctor” who allegedly ordered the lip filler from Temu at a very low price. The patient knew that something was wrong post-
treatment when her lips started bruising and swelling badly, progressively getting worse as the day went on. She visited a doctor, only to learn that the blood flow to her lips was completely cut off, and her case was treated as a medical emergency at a local hospital. Dr Judey Pretorius, Founder and Managing Director of Biomedical Emporium, chats to Irma G (who stands in for Leigh-Anne Williams) about the dangers of fake or black market injectables and how to avoid them.
