More than 1.25 million people in the UK will have a non-surgical procedure this year in a market worth £1.7billion
Anna Macintyre used to be a confident woman. These days the 43-year-old marketing manager from Essex holds her hand over her mouth when she talks. Two years ago she decided to plump up her lips with a dermal filler.
Her lips were overfilled, which stretched the skin and led to red veins above her top lip.
'I can't believe that I destroyed my looks trying to look better,' she says. Unfortunately, she has no idea what she was injected with.
