Faye Winter has admitted she once went “too far” with lip injections.
Faye Winter is on a mission to help others with lip filler decisions
The ex ‘Love Island’ star thinks she has “ruined” her visage with all the filler she has pumped into her pout, and is “so embarrassed” by the final outcome.
The 28-year-old influencer said on Instagram: “My lips have been a talking point for the last two years and I'm campaigning for only medical professionals to be able to carry out any type of procedure on our faces and inject them with any kind of substance.
“Lets take a look at my journey and go through it in my own words. First up we have these lips and they are so lumpy and instead of just having them done by a professional I had to keep having them topped up and they kept getting pumped up real slowly to this is at their biggest.
“At this point I new I had gone too far so I chose to get them dissolved. This is after being dissolved and they were very wrinkly. There wasn't an awful lot I could do with them because I had over filled them and overstretched the skin so much."
Faye - who was in a relationship with Teddy Soares, 28, for a year and half after meeting him on the ITV2 dating show in 2021 - detailed how she sought to get help to get the look she “wanted”.
She said: "Then I went back to a medically trained professional who put in 0.5ml and this is the result I got and the result I had always wanted.
“I honestly love them so much. I will now only maintain this size and I think they frame my face perfectly.
“So go to a medically trained professional who knows how to get the shape that you want.”
Faye captioned the video with further reflection on her “journey” and told of her intention to help others.
She wrote: "The journey I have been on with my lips is one that many judge, many have opinions on and many should know more about.
“In a time where we can get everything for less when do we take a step back and realise everything has its cost.
“I ruined my face through over filling and not getting the correct advice. I will talk about my journey because I hope one person will learn from my mistakes.
“Yes I look back at these photos full of embarrassment and regret, I look back on a girl that had such hateful comments but now I can take them and do some good with them and that’s all I could really wish for @lookfantastic. (sic)"
