When Rachael Knappier went to a "Botox party" at a friend's home at the end of August, she planned to indulge in a shot of the wrinkle eraser in her forehead and a glass of fizz with her pals.

But, after a few glasses of Prosecco, she also agreed to have lip fillers.

What she didnt bank on was the beautician injecting the filler into an artery, which caused her lips to swell massively.

In fact, the complications were so serious that she almost lost her top lip.

"My friend had raved about this beautician and how great she was so I decided to go ahead," Knappier said.

The 29-year-old had previously visited a local, highly-qualified, aesthetics nurse for Botox and a small dose of filler in her top lip to even out a permanent bump, a legacy of a fire door hitting her face as a teenager.

Even though her lip filler was due a top-up, Knappier hadnt intended getting it done at the party. But thats before the booze was uncorked.

"There was fizz and cake and it was a bit of a conveyor belt with girls sitting in the kitchen waiting their turn with local anesthetic cream on their faces," Knappier said. "The beautician who I assumed at the time was a nurse didnt ask me to sign any consent forms so alarm bells should have rung. But being at a party with friends took away all the seriousness of having filler injected into my face."

"She noticed the bump on my lip when she was doing my Botox and said she could inject a bit of filler for me if I wanted her to," she said. "To be fair, she told me to go and have a think about it in the kitchen but shed found my weakness. My lip is the one thing that really bothers me about my appearance."

Knappier was given numbing cream to use on her lips before she hopped onto the bed where the beautician told her she was using a brand of filler called Teosyal, though it later transpired she'd used a different make entirely.

"One injection upwards towards my nose was very painful," Knappier remembered. "Within a few hours I began to feel unwell, my lips swelled like nothing I'd ever seen before and the pressure was unbearable."

Panic stricken, she called the beautician who Knappier has since discovered was released from prison earlier this year who then Facetimed her to look at her lips.

She was visibly shocked, clamped her hands over her mouth, told me I was having an allergic reaction and that I needed to take an antihistamine and get to A&E," she said. At A&E they tested me for anaphylactic shock but three medics concluded I wasnt having an allergic reaction and told me to go back to the beautician for treatment to dissolve the fillers."

Due to the pain in her lips and the severity of the pressure, she contacted a local aesthetic nurse who injected her with antihistamine medication to attempt to reduce the swelling and pressure.

A couple of days later, Knappier then had several doses of dissolving agent injected into her lips at the Consultant Clinic.

It was so painful, that my mum, who was sitting upstairs in a waiting room, could hear my screams," she said.
