24-year old Amelia Greville, was in search of fuller lips to look like Kylie Jenner. Greville, who lives in Bangkok and works as a teacher there, saw a cheap deal on a Thai Groupon site for Juvéderm lip injections at a clinic and purchased it. After researching the brand and feeling safe that Groupon was a ‘trusted site’, she was excited to try them out. She was especially excited because this was the brand Kylie Jenner uses.
After having the injections done in April of 2015, she was initially happy with her new look. However, it wasn’t quite a happy ending for Greville. Within months she was devastated when her lips turned blue and lumpy with wart-like lumps. She says the clinic injected her lips with another fluid to correct the lumps, but it only made them worse. Amelia Greville describes the appearance of her lips as “grotesque” and “mangled.”
“I looked in the mirror and looked horrific. I cried to my boyfriend at the time, but I didn’t tell anyone back home,” Greville says of the first time she noticed the lumps. She even says that she can’t stop herself from licking and biting the bumps. “I’m compelled to do it. It’s like my body is saying “There’s something foreign in your lip”. If I touch them they’re so sore,’ she said.
Recently Greville has gone public with her story and has tried to raise £1,500 to correct her botched lip job. The clinic who did the job has contacted her and donated most of the money towards the treatment, which she will have as soon as possible at a specialist hospital.
To this day, she still is unsure if the clinic was reputable or not but admits “I couldn’t read the comments on the clinic’s Facebook page because they were in Thai, but they had good reviews.”
I’m glad she’ll be able to correct the problem, especially since she’s a teacher.
