A Russian influencer has revealed how she almost died from complications after lip reduction which caused her face to swell to double its size.
Cartier Bugatti, 22, from Samara in the Volga region, nearly died from complications after the procedure with a cosmetologist, Russian media reported.
The heavily inked mother-of-one, whose real name is Kristina Vishnivetskaya, went in to have her big lips shortened, but things quickly went awry.

The Moscow-based social media star said at the time: ‘Of course, they won’t let me die here and that’s the most important thing.’

What to expect from lip fillers:
Lip fillers are a safe treatment when performed by an experienced healthcare provider, including a plastic surgeon, dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.
You may experience mild pain at your injection sites. The pain should go away after 12 to 24 hours.
Lip fillers are not permanent. Depending on your metabolism, they gradually disappear over time, usually 12 to 18 months after you get them.
You may need regular touch-up treatments to maintain your desired volume.
It is best to wait to eat until after the topical anesthetic or nerve block injection has finished so that you don’t accidentally bite your lip and irritate the filler.
