A WOMAN has shared the shocking reality of what can happen if you have too much filler injected into your lips.
Sarah-Jane Sinclair, a 28-year-old mother from Harlow, Essex, used to look like your typical girl next door until she got a drastic makeover six years ago with tattoos, fake tan, long nails and lip filler.

Now, the brunette has been labelled the 'Poundland Katie Price' after showing off her fake look online.
Not only does she get Botox every few months, but she also gets her plump pout maintained every two to three months - with 2ml of filler injected each time.
While Sarah-Jane, a self-confessed tattoo addict, loves her enhanced appearance, she has now been left lost for words after noticing filler leaking from her huge lips.
Posting on social media, the inked woman who has previously been slammed as 'demonic' for her unique look, squeezed her top lip, only for a clear liquid to leak out.
Stunned by her leaky lips, Sarah-Jane, who posts online under the username 'Essex Ink', wrote: 'My lips are leaking filler.
'I noticed some bumps so [I] squeezed them. This was the result.'
Showing off the migrated filler, she gasped: 'Can you see that? That is f*****g filler coming out of my f*****g lips.'
Opening her mouth is disbelief at her lip filler which she claimed had 'gone wrong', she continued: 'What the f**k?! I'm shook.'
According to Karidis Clinic London, the rise in popularity of over-exaggerated pouts and trends such as the 'Russian lip' has led to an increase in issues with lip filler migration.
These techniques typically involve multiple punctures of the lip border, making it likely that filler can leak out.

To avoid filler leaking from lips, you must ensure to avoid overfilling.
You should only use trusted dermal filler brands, follow aftercare advice and choose a reputable practitioner.
Social media users react
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @essexxink, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 695,400 views in just 11 hours.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 11,400 likes and 845 comments, with many trolls sharing their thoughts on the lip filler fail.
Are you surprised? There's lip filler and then there's over the top lip filler
TikTok user
One person joked: 'Buy a puncture repair kit in Halfords.'
Another added: 'Your body [is] trying to tell you something.'
A third laughed: 'Buy a plastic pool repair kit.'
At the same time, one beauty enthusiast gasped: 'Whoever did this to you needs their license taken away.'
What are the risks of lip fillers?
THE RISKS of dermal fillers depend on whether the procedure was done correctly and the type of filler used.
The NHS recommends you speak to your practitioner about the risks beforehand.
Serious problems are rare but can include: Infection
A lumpy appearance under the skin, which might need to be treated with surgery or medicine
The filler moving away from the intended treatment area, which may need to be removed using surgery
Scarring
Blocked blood vessels in the face, which can cause tissue death and permanent blindness
You should see your GP if you have any complications that need medical attention and speak to your practitioner if you're not happy with the results or experience lumpiness.

Whilst someone else questioned: 'I mean, are you honestly surprised?"
Not only this, but another agreed and asked: 'I come with no hate but are you surprised? There's lip filler and then there's over the top lip filler.'
Meanwhile, others shared their advice for Sarah-Jane, as one recommended: 'Go to the doctor.'
A second chimed in: 'Just keep the area clean, ice if necessary, take anti inflammatories and try not to squeeze them. Monitor it and see your GP if symptoms worsen, you develop a fever or you think the wound has become infected.'
A third then suggested: 'Don't squeeze it lovely, speak to your esthetician, she may have some advice to help you.'

I'm a fashion expert – I've found seven summer dresses that hide bingo wings… and they're not frumpy
BINGO wings beware – the high street has gone sleeveless mad. And if, like me, you don't love your upper arms, that's seriously bad news. I know I'm not alone, either. When I ranted about this in the office, there was a chorus of agreement. Not because we're all body-conscious, but because — shock horror — some of us want to wear real clothes to places other than a beach. On TikTok, clips showing exercises to eliminate bingo wings have hundreds of thousands of likes. And I'm not surprised. At the age of 35, it's quite common for women my age — and older — to feel self-conscious about their arms. Over-50s fitness influencer Nikki Brow amasses more than 560k views on TikTok for her ' Menopause ladies' videos to banish bingo wings. And #armworkout videos have more than 4.5 billion views on the social media platform. But trying to find anything to cover our upper arms this summer is a relentless task. As someone who spends an unhealthy amount of time trawling the rails of the high street (it's my job, after all), I recently found myself storming through Zara in London 's Oxford Street, wondering if the designers had collectively lost the plot — or just stopped believing in sleeves. Everywhere I turned it was strappy slip dresses, halterneck beachwear pretending to be occasionwear, and sequinned numbers clearly aimed at women who treat the club loos as a selfie booth. And sleeves? Nowhere to be found. There was one long-sleeved dress and, plot twist, it had no back. Shoppers run to bag on-trend spring dress with 'boho vibes' in Sainsbury's Brilliant. So now I've got to shell out again for a stick-on-bra and rolls of duct tape to keep everything in its rightful place. But it's not just Zara, either. Unless your upper arms resemble Michelle Obama 's, your options are: repeat-wear something from last year, or whip out the sewing kit. And spare me the body-positivity speeches. 'Just go sleeveless,' they say, or 'Embrace your arms — no one cares'. Well, I care when I catch sight of my reflection in a shop window and see the glaring sight of a wide arm. I want sleeves. Not cap sleeves (a con), not flutter sleeves (cute but pointless), but sleeves that actually cover the upper arm. But never fear, I've done the legwork (or the arm work) and found the best sleeved summer dresses that tick all the right boxes. Because fashion should make you feel good and for some of us, that means keeping our arms under wraps. EMPIRE LINE Red, Next, £36 Empire line, with a seam and fitted under the bust, is flattering on everyone, from fuller busts to fuller middles. This number from Next in bold red and accented sleeves is perfect for summer. Multi, River Island, £56 No one wants to splash out on a statement dress that will only see you through one wedding, or an annual trip to the races. You want a dress that's value for money and that you can wear all season. River Island's long-sleeved midaxi does just that. A knotted waist and slightly padded shoulders enhance an hourglass figure, while the busy print is disguising without being too loud. BOLD PRINT Floral, H&M, £27.99 Ditsy florals have a habit of ageing us, whereas bolder colours and prints inject life into our outfits, like this button-down H&M dress. This is summer in a frock. With its pretty-yet-punchy pattern and elegant length, it's the non-frumpy floral dress we've been waiting for. Wear it on a Sunday stroll, or for a day at the races. BARGAIN BOHO Floral, Tu at Sainsbury's, £35 Boho has made a triumphant return to fashion this year, but while most of us over 25 can't bear the thought of wearing disc belts and a mini dress, this embodies the trend without looking like 1970s fancy dress. Slight ruffled detailing gives depth, while breaking up the floral print. And a V-neckline is flattering for fuller busts. SHIRT DRESS Green, George at Asda, £38 Create a defined silhouette with a classic shirt dress. This one has a slightly puffed sleeve that gives it an expensive feel. In a deep, verdant green, it also creates a bold look with zero effort and can be dressed up with metallic accessories for holidays and weddings, or dressed down with your favourite Birkenstocks for everyday wear. TIMELESS CLASSIC Polka dot, Primark, £14 From royalty to the high street, you can't go wrong with a bit of polka dot. It's one of those trusty staples you can keep in your wardrobe for years. With a three-quarter sleeve and shin-length skirt, this Primark dress is perfect for summer. HELLO YELLOW Broderie, New Look, £69.99 Butter yellow is the colour of the season, with everyone from Kendall Jenner to the Princess of Wales sporting the hue. Another style synonymous with summer is broderie anglaise. And New Look's hybrid of the two trends, with a slit down the back, is the one for you. With three-quarter sleeves and delicate cut-outs, it's a designer-looking dress for less.

Get ready for 'Minecraft': one of 2025's biggest movies is now streaming
Parents, get the tarps, because it's about to start raining popcorn all over your living room floor. A Minecraft Movie, the big-screen adaptation of the crazy-popular block-stacking video game, is streaming on HBO Max starting Friday, June 20. When the film hit theaters back in April, it flummoxed many observers by becoming the first true box-office sensation of 2025. It's the highest-grossing US domestic release of the year, earning $423.8 million in the US and $953.5 million globally, good for second-place worldwide, behind China's Ne Zha 2. Not only that, the now-famous 'Chicken Jockey' scene sparked a TikTok trend, while the Jack Black-sung jingle 'Steve's Lava Chicken' became the shortest song to ever chart in the Billboard Hot 100, clocking in at 34 seconds long. So what the heck is A Minecraft Movie about? Well, it stars Jason Momoa as a former video game champion, who, along with some kids from their tiny Idaho town, travel into the colourful world of the game and find themselves at war with an army of porcine Piglins – with an assist from a guy named Steve (Black), who's been trapped in the cube-shaped world for years. Maybe that sounds headache-inducing for adults, but it's really pretty fun. TimeOut put it this way: '[A]t heart what [director Jared Hess] has crafted is a goofy and genuinely quite loveable homage to the '80s 'quest' movie. Think Willow, think Labyrinth, think The NeverEnding Story, think Legend.' In any case, it doesn't really matter what you think: A Minecraft Movie might qualify as the first true Gen Z event movie. And if you've got a kid and an HBO Max subscription, prepare to find it on your TV a lot in the near future. Stream it here starting June 20.
