‘I got botched Botox – it’s frozen my face, now my husband’s terrified of me’
A woman has gone viral for showing off her botched chin Botox – saying the results are her husband’s “worst fear”.
Cosmetic surgery, fillers and Botox are now more easily accessible than ever before.
But beauty fans who are keen to get their faces nipped and tucked should do as much research as possible before opting for the cosmetic treatments.
In fact, The Sun reports, botched cosmetic procedures are on the rise – which means it’s more important now than ever before to be vigilant about who does your treatment and where you get it done.
There has been a big rise in untrained, unscrupulous and untraceable “ghosts” making thousands of dollars a month administering Botox or fillers in people’s homes and abandoning clients when things go wrong, a campaign group has said.
“We’re very disappointed that the government has ignored the evidence we gave them about these ‘ghosts’ and the serious and permanent damage they do to their ‘clients’,” Ashton Collins, director of Save Face – a UK, government-approved register of accredited non-surgical treatment practitioners – said.
One woman who recently experienced botched Botox is Megan Carlisle, who goes by the name @megmachair on TikTok.
She revealed that she got Botox in her chin, but now it’s “messed up”.
Sharing a video with her thousands of followers with the caption “Husband’s worst fear”, Megan revealed that she had gotten Botox injected into her chin.
It is not known why Megan opted for getting Botox in her chin, but according to cosmetic experts both women and men can benefit from Botox for chin reduction.
Benefits can include smoother skin, tighter pores, and decreased acne and redness.
Megan’s video, which has gone viral with over 418,000 likes, shows her face front-on first.
“Get Botox in your chin they said … wtf?” she wrote across the recording.
She then tenses her lips to move her chin before turning her head, so the side of her face is on show, to repeat the same movement.
It appears to show her chin is smaller, but the muscles make her chin appear in a different shape to what would usually be seen.
Her video sparked conversation among more than 4000 users, who rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts.
“I feel like people who get Botox have no concept of what they look like,” one wrote.
“Sometimes with chin Botox, when it first starts to kick in the muscle tries to push out where there’s the least neurotoxin. Will go away in days,” another added.
While a third said: “That happened to me too.”
Someone else explained why it could be happening.
“Muscle is still contracting so either it wasn’t enough to fully relax it or just hasn’t kicked in all the way,” they wrote. “Totally fixable.”
