Brits start ditching Botox as number of jabs being dished out plummet – here’s why
BRITS are snubbing Botox and lip fillers to copy celebs going for a more natural look, figures show.
Friends star Courteney Cox, 58, has joined Love Island favourites in having procedures reversed.
The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons revealed a 7.5 per cent drop in cosmetic facial work in the first three months of the year compared to 2022.
Actress Cox said she had “messed up a lot” when it came to facial work, while Love Island’s Faye Winter, 27, said she felt she had “ruined her face” by using large amounts of lip filler.
She told BBC 5 Live: “They became massive — the only feature you could see on my face was my protruding lips.
“I always had big teeth thanks to my dad and always had small lips so they didn’t really frame my teeth as I would have liked them too.

“So I decided to have the filler put in to even out the balance.”
She added: “It wasn’t until I saw myself on screen, where I saw myself having conversations with people, and where I wasn’t posing and looking in the mirror.
“We all know we look different when we’re posing in the mirror, I felt I had completely ruined my face."
She said she only took action to reverse it after seeing herself on TV.

Expert Dr Kathryn Lloyd-Thomas said: “Faye is such an extreme case of such a large amount of filler.
"Her lips may never go back to the way they were.”
Faye added that she is now a “lot happier” and said: “The look I’ve got is the look I always wanted — without having to overdo it”.
And fellow Islander Molly-Mae Hague, 23, told host Naga Munchetty she “looked like a different person” after having her fillers dissolved.
