BOTCHED cosmetic treatments can be extremely dangerous and one doctor has revealed the grim moment he squeezed out fillers from a client's badly placed procedure.
Dr Tijion Esho, aka 'The Lip Doctor', believes that we have reached the end of lip fillers despite their popularity.
Under 18s are now banned from getting fillers and botox in a huge win for The Sun's 'Had Our Fill' campaign.
Dr Esho's shows the dangers of the procedure and how it can go horribly wrong.
The video, posted on Instagram, shows the bulbous lip of one patient who had fillers places incorrectly.
Dr Esho simply pricks a needles into the lip and streams of white puss then ooze out of it.
Dr Ana explained: "This is why sterility and cleanliness during and after the procedure are key. This appearance is also common for a filler that is placed poorly by the practitioner where we sometimes are able to puncture and manually extract the lump of filler in this manner.
"Placing fillers in large volumes or too close to the surface can lead to visible lumps in this manner. Most of the time we need to use a prescription dissolving injection to try to break down the filler altogether, this is quite an unpleasant procedure.
"Other times an isolated lump like this one can be squeezed out with some local anaesthesia for comfort."
We want anyone considering a non-surgical cosmetic treatment to be well-informed to make a safe decision.

She explained that over the last few years she has seen a rise in patients seeking help with botched botox and fillers and that there had a been a particular rise since the Covid lockdown.
"This has consistently been due to a group of patients being unable to access their usual practitioners during this time and subsequently having turned to injectors who lack qualifications (often non-medical practitioners).
"Lip fillers tend to go wrong more often in my opinion due to a number of reasons. It is a high-risk area for coming across crucial blood vessels, required a high level of anatomical knowledge and technical experience as well as being an intricate procedure.
"The recent trend of overfilled lips are pushing patients and practitioners into using larger volumes of filler which is a recipe for disaster in my opinion.
"Make sure you see someone experience and medically qualified to reduce the risk of running into complications like these", she added.
