A woman left disfigured and traumatised by an addiction to lip filler injections has issued a warning to others searching for the perfect pout after the plastic chemicals nearly killed her. Financial researcher Lauren Smalley, 30, from Bristol, has endured hours of painful treatments and surgery to remove the product Bio-Alcamid from her face which promised to provide her with permanently plumped lips. But instead of a perfect pout Lauren's mission to change her face nearly ended on her deathbed when the Bio-Alcamid formed tiny tumours called granulomas in her face. The infection which followed caused her to be hospitalised with suspected septicaemia and a surgeon was forced to cut the product from her top lip in an invasive three-hour surgery.
