A mum has opened up after an extreme reaction to lip fillers left her looking like a "blow-up doll".
Charis Evans had been getting filler since she was 20 as it was the "trend" and paid £90 for her third set of injections last year.
But the support worker now claims she's been left unable to eat spicy food or curries without her lips ballooning again.

She tried a different salon and got 1ml of filler injected, but within hours her lips increased to four times their normal size.
Rushing to the hospital, the 22-year-old was given antihistamines and forced to wear a mask 24/7 to hide the swelling.
Luckily the swelling began to subside after a week but she's still suffering the consequences as she's forced to avoid spicy food.
She said: "When I went and got them done, they started swelling quite soon after.
"I went to my mum's and she said they looked really swollen but they do swell up anyway at first.
"They were really swollen in the space of a couple of hours.
"I looked like a blow-up doll. I had fish lips and it looked like I'd been in a fight. They were really big.
"The doctor started laughing when I walked in. Everyone I showed was mortified. We were wearing masks luckily so I could hide it."

Charis was told her face was ruined by her mum and she was scared it wouldn't go back to normal.
She continued: "I was panicking. It was painful and it felt like they were popping open.
"I try avoid spicy food because every time I've eaten something spicy my mum says I look like I've had them done again.
"I still get shooting pains in my lips."
She shared photos of the swelling on social media where many of her friends were left in stitches.
Charis vowed to never have fillers again and said she wouldn't allowed her kids, Sophia, two, and Bobby, seven weeks, to do them.
She concluded: "My body just had a reaction. Sometimes you don't know what you're putting in your face.
"I do wish I'd never had them done. I want people to have a really good think about it before getting lip fillers.
"I got them because it was a trend at the time and a lot of young girls were having it done but the pain and trauma wasn't worth it."
