I've had so much filler now my huge lips are LEAKING – trolls say I should ‘buy a puncture repair kit in Halfords'
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 Londo n, 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.
Nurse, 36, shocked after 'routine' lip filler ended up in a cancer diagnosis
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.
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.'

Fires breakout in London after soaring heat across UK
London Fire Brigade (LFB) has warned Londoners against using disposable barbecues and urged caution due to a heatwave, with temperatures expected to exceed 30C. The LFB responded to two grass fires in Rainham recently and recorded 332 barbecue-related callouts between 2022 and May 2025, with 17 resulting in casualties. LFB assistant commissioner Pat Goulbourne emphasized the high risk of fires spreading rapidly due to the dry conditions and urged the public to prevent incidents. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued an amber heat-health alert for the entire country from Thursday to Monday, indicating potential impacts on health and social services. The Met Office reported that UK heatwaves are becoming longer and hotter, with the chance of exceeding 40C now over 20 times more likely than in the 1960s due to escalating climate trends.

A Pilates instructor shares her three ‘go-to' exercises for strength, spinal mobility and easing stiffness
Joseph Pilates concocted his world-conquering fitness methodology while imprisoned in a First World War internment camp on the Isle of Man. Now, more than 100 years on, the practice has enjoyed a renewed surge in popularity. 'If you've ever wondered why Pilates has such a loyal following, the answer lies in how it makes you feel – strong, connected and grounded in your body,' Pilates instructor and Reform Wellness Studio founder Kasey Lach tells me. It has wide appeal too, with instructors able to adapt exercises to suit people of varying fitness, experience and mobility levels. However, some movements have a more universal application than others, and below Lach has shared three of her favourites which hold plenty of benefits for pretty much anyone. 'These Pilates-based exercises are simple, effective and can be done almost anywhere,' she says. 'While these movements are generally safe and beneficial, please note that attending a class with a trained practitioner will provide more thorough guidance, personalised cueing and proper technique tailored to your individual needs.' How to do Pilates instructor Kasey Lach's three go-to moves Prone back extension How to do it Lie prone – or face down – with your forehead on the mat and your arms by your sides, palms up. Keep your legs together with your feet gently pointed throughout. Inhale: prepare. Exhale: set your core muscles then lift your head and chest slightly off the mat. Think about sliding your shoulders away from your ears. Inhale: slowly lower your trunk and head to return to the start position. Modifications 'If you experience neck or disc-related pain, avoid lifting your head and trunk. Instead, focus on core engagement and activating the deep neck flexors using a technique called the 'chin nod',' Lach advises. This technique involves gently tucking your chin towards your chest, providing a stretch across the back of your neck and the muscles around the cervical (uppermost) region of your spine. Top tip 'Keep your head aligned with your spine throughout the exercise. Maintain abdominal engagement, potentially with a light posterior tilt of the pelvis [the front of the pelvis is higher than the back], to protect the lower back.' Benefits of the prone back extension This exercise targets the spinal extensors (the group of muscles responsible for straightening the spine), with support from the abdominals for spinal protection, Lach explains. By moving and strengthening these areas, it can 'improve coordination of the core muscles, enhance scapular stability and train the body to lift against gravity using controlled, skilled activation,' she adds. Side bend How to do it Lie on your side then bend your knees to a right angle while keeping your feet in line with your torso. Place your top foot on the mat in front of your bottom foot for stability. Press the hand of your lower arm into the mat, underneath your shoulder, and extend it so your torso is almost upright. Inhale: straighten both legs and lift your pelvis towards the ceiling until your legs and torso form a straight line. As you do this, raise your top arm so it extends vertically upwards from your shoulder. Exhale: lift the pelvis slightly higher into a laterally flexed position and reach your top arm overhead. Inhale: lower your pelvis until your legs and torso form a straight line. As you do this, return your top arm to vertical. Exhale: lower back down to the starting position. Modifications 'For a more gentle version of this movement, perform it on your elbow with both knees bent, keeping them in contact with the ground throughout for added support,' Lach recommends. Top tip 'Initiate the movement from the oblique abdominal muscles [which run along either side of your trunk]. Use the gluteus medius [on either side of the buttocks] to lift the lower side of the pelvis up and draw the shoulder blades down and back throughout the exercise.' Benefits of the side bend This exercise strengthens the obliques, scapular (shoulder blade) stabilisers, lumbar-stabilising quadratus lumborum and gluteus medius muscles, says Lach. This will not only help you develop healthier shoulders and greater control of your core muscles, but also increase mobility in your spine for bending motions. Pelvic curl How to do it Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the mat, hip-width apart. Keep your neck and shoulders relaxed. Inhale: prepare. Exhale: engage your core and begin to curl your pelvis then spine off the mat, one vertebra at a time. Inhale: hold the top position. Your pelvis should be in maximum posterior tilt, with your thighs and torso forming a straight line, and you should feel a stretch in the hip flexors – the muscles on the front of the hips and upper thighs. Exhale: slowly lower your spine one vertebra at a time until the tailbone touches the mat. Modifications ' If you have disc-related conditions, avoid deep lumbar flexion [curling of the lower spine],' Lach says. 'Instead, maintain a neutral spine and pelvis as you lift, and work within a pain-free range.' Top tip 'Tilt the pelvis by pulling the pubic bone towards the chin to create deep lumbar flexion. Deliberately place one vertebra at a time as this will help you achieve maximum articulation and spinal mobility.' Benefits of the pelvic curl Lach says this movement will recruit the spinal flexor muscles, responsible for forward bending of the vertebral column. It also strengthens the spine-stabilising transversus abdominis and pelvic floor muscles of the core, as well as the large gluteus maximus and hamstring muscles. It is an excellent exercise for mobilising the spine and pelvic region to ease general stiffness, she adds, making it a worthy antidote to hours spent sitting at a desk. It can also improve core control and relieve tightness in both the back extensors and hip flexors.' What is Pilates? There is often confusion over what defines Pilates. We see controlled, repeated movements in everything from yoga to strength training, so what distinguishes this practice from other exercise modalities? 'At its core – literally and figuratively – Pilates brings together breath, focus, core engagement, control, precision and flow,' Lach explains. These are otherwise known as the six principles of Pilates. 'These principles work in harmony to help improve flexibility, mobility and overall strength, especially through bodyweight movements that don't require fancy equipment,' she continues. 'Each class is a full-body experience. Think of it as a symphony of muscles working together, moving with intention and control. When your core – the body's powerhouse – is strong and stable, everything else begins to move with more ease and coordination. You'll start to notice better posture, smoother movement and even more confidence in how you carry yourself day to day.' Lach says you're likely to see plenty of physical benefits from committing to regular Pilates session – a famous Joseph Pilates quote claims: 'in 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 you will see the difference, and in 30 you'll have a whole new body.' But she also believes the practice supports other sporting interests you might have. Whether you're into running, weight training, cycling or high-intensity workouts, Pilates helps 'improve movement efficiency, prevent injury and enhance performance by reinforcing core stability, muscular balance and body awareness,' Lach explains. 'If you're brand new to movement or looking to level up your existing routine, Pilates is a beautiful way to come home to your body – one intentional breath and movement at a time,' she adds. One final point to make is that Pilates is an incredibly pliable practice, with modifications available to suit people of different fitness levels, as well as those with specific conditions or injuries. Herein lies the added value of having an experienced in-person instructor and listening to your body, Lach explains. 'Listening to your body doesn't mean avoiding movement altogether – it means moving intentionally, staying connected to how you feel and adapting as needed,' she says. 'This is especially true when working with or around pathologies – health conditions or injuries – where the wrong type of movement can do more harm than good.'

Report: Nimbus Covid variant doubles in a month
Published: Updated: Nimbus, known scientifically as N.B.1.8.1, is thought to be the most contagious variant of the virus yet with experts warning it could drive a wave of new cases this summer. Other data collected by the agency shows the total number of tests coming back positive for any type of Covid has increased to 6.8 per cent as of June 15, the latest available data. This is up from 5.6 per cent last month and represents the highest figure recorded so far this year. They warned that many people's immunity to the virus, built up from previous infections and older jabs, has likely faded meaning they could be at higher risk of falling ill. Lab studies suggest Nimbus can infect human cells more efficiently than previous strains, and that it may have increased ability to dodge the immune system, making it more likely to infect people. However, there is currently no evidence that the strain, a descendant of the already super virulent Omicron , is any more likely to cause severe illness or death in those it infects, compared to previous strains. But any Covid infection with the virus can still be deadly, especially for more vulnerable groups like the elderly or those with compromised immune systems. Medics have warned that anyone with a 'razor blade' throat could have Nimbus. Dr Michael Gregory, regional medical Director for NHS England in the North West recently said: 'The variant looks to be spreading rapidly within communities, with top symptoms being a "razor blade" sore throat and swollen neck glands.' Broad Nimbus symptoms are not thought to differ from other Covid variants and include fatigue, fever, muscle ache and a sore throat. Experts have also said that current Covid vaccines, which have been reformulated to combat Omicron descendants, are expected to remain effective against Nimbus. While data suggests Nimbus is on the rise in the UK it currently still accounts for a minority of total Covid cases. Instead, strains LP.8.1.1 and XFG—which, like Nimbus, are descended Omicron—were the most common Covid variants accounting for a fifth and a quarter of all tests analysed, respectively. Earlier this month the World Health Organisation said Nimbus now accounts for 10.7 per cent of Covid infections worldwide, compared to just 2.5 per cent in May. Other UKHSA data, shows that only 59 per cent of Britons in England aged over 75 had taken up the offer of a Covid vaccine. Uptake fell to just one in four among under 75s with compromised immune systems, who are also eligible for the jab on the NHS. NHS England's spring Covid vaccine drive is drawing to a close with the system closing for bookings earlier this week. Vaccine companies are reported to be in the midst of updating their shots to fit the 'Nimbus' strain.
