After a while, she called for medical assistance and was advised that paramedics would be needed to assist.
The beauty buff said they rushed to the scene and were “so good” and “never had a call like this before”.
After going to the hospital by ambulance, thankfully the swelling started to go down.
Gabby reiterated: “It’s not the clinics fault, they were amazing and looked after me so well!
“I’ve never been allergic to anything and have had this treatment before so it was quite a fluke!!
“It’s certainly not anyone’s fault.
“The weirdest part is that I’ve never been allergic to anything in my life.
“I was also taking acrylic fingernails all the time and for the past year I get swollen itchy fingers when I get acrylics so I’m thinking maybe I’m just developing allergies as I get older!
A few days later the swelling was gone and Gabby said she was happy with the breakup.
Social reaction
Many people were quick to comment on the video, with one saying: “Yeah, I don’t touch filler.”
Another added: “how you didn’t panic girl.”
And a third commented: “that would have made me pass out.”
Lip filler rise
In Britain, lip fillers have gone from a niche luxury to a mainstream beauty treatment.
Industry data suggests that around 1.1 to 1.3 million lip filler treatments will be performed in Britain in 2025.
Some swelling is said to be a normal side effect of lip filler dissolution.
That’s because when the filler is injected or dissolved, the body reacts to the small wound by releasing white blood cells, which cause inflammation and swelling, he warned. the experts at the Karidi Clinic.
“The lips are especially sensitive because there are so many blood vessels.
“Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are also more prone to swelling as they act as humectants, attracting 1,000 times their weight in moisture,” they explained.
