A BEAUTY fan who forked out more than £1k to get as many injectables as possible has been told she's aged loads – and some have even compared her to the 77-year-old singer Cher.
Over the years, dermal fillers have become all the rage in the beauty industry, with the market worth more than £4billion in 2022, according to data.
But although there have been several calls for stricter regulations – with Fabulous launching Had Our Fill campaign – this clearly hasn't been enough to stop one woman, only known as Beks, to transform her face with fillers.
The young beauty lover recently claimed that she had forked out a fortune to get as many injectibles as possible in just 24 hours, sharing the makeover on TikTok.
''I spent $2k [£1.6k] getting every injectible I could physically handle in one day.
''They're all painful, babe,'' Beks said in her video, adding she hated seeing other people alter their appearance with filters on social media.

''I just got my own filter face,'' the blonde chuckled before revealing the results after a month of recovery.
According to Beks, who now also wanted to get her face insured, she had had her lips done, Botox, lip flip and cheek filler.
Other procedures included fixing her crow's feet and forehead wrinkles with filler, as well as banishing smile lines around her mouth.
Although Beks admitted that her natural ''girly face'' was ''giving 'girl next door''' and there was absolutely ''no problem'' with it, she wasn't happy with her ''thin'' lips before the transformation.

However, unfortunately for the young blonde, it seems that she was just one of the very few people who enjoyed the filler face.
Hundreds raced to comments, where many agreed she had added years to her appearance, with one writing: ''It always makes people look older and I can't even tell why.''
''Makes them look bloated,'' a second reckoned.
Someone else, meanwhile, thought that Beks had gone overboard, writing: ''Should have done just lips, before is way better.''
Another added that the fillers had aged her so much, Beks now looked as old as the American singer, Cher, who is 77.
''It's giving Donatella Versace,'' a social media user penned.
Filler & Botox – the ugly truth
Currently there are no laws that prevent anyone from picking up a needle and injecting the faces of Brits with filler.
The Sun’s Fabulous campaign, Had Our Fill, launched in 2020 in conjunction with Save Face, has detailed dozens of botched cosmetic procedures that are the result of lax rules.
Botox is classed as a prescription-only medicine in the UK, which means it should be prescribed and given to a patient by a qualified prescriber (a medical professional).
