A young man shares the horrifying moment fluid started leaking from his nose after a popular ‘liquid nose job’ procedure.
Oliver Davis, 19, spent £160 on the injectable treatment, which typically lasts between a year and 18 months and involves inserting fillers into the nose to manipulate its shape.
Oliver had the treatment to make the tip of his nose more visible.
But a week after the procedure, his face started to leak. Despite expecting some pain and swelling, he knew something was terribly wrong.
“I was so stunned and confused when I felt a wet droplet on my hand,” said Oliver, from Northamptonshire.
A 19-year-old from Northamptonshire has described how a ‘pink, jelly-like’ substance came out of his nose after undergoing a fluid nose job
Liquid nose jobs have become incredibly popular in recent years. Clinics across the country offer walk-in, one-hour nose jobs with no appointment required.
Oliver showed his TikTok followers the disgusting substance leaking from his nose
“It was a pink, red, jelly-like substance. I looked around and wasn’t confused. When I opened my front-facing camera, I saw filler pouring down my lip.
‘My injector initially said it was probably due to a superficial filling that had come up.’
Oliver said he had already sought advice from his injector when he noticed the pain wasn’t going away as quickly as he had hoped.
She advised him to apply a warm compress to his head every night for seven days.
But the next night, something he suspected was filler started leaking from Oliver’s face.
Eventually his injector indicated he may have an infection.
Oliver said: ‘If it hadn’t gone so dramatically wrong I wouldn’t have known I had a bacterial infection, plus necrosis [the death of body tissue] is beginning to manifest itself.’
When he heard pus leaking from the treated area, he contacted his doctor, but the infection eventually went away on its own.
Oliver also visited an aesthetician who dissolved the filler, which helped to relieve the infection.
He has shared videos online documenting his experiences, with one clip having been viewed more than three million times.
One woman commented, “This happened to me!!! I just tried everything and hoped for the best.
Another wrote: ‘Like I will never get fillers. I hope you are ok!’ While a woman named Pamela added: ‘This happened to my lip.’
