Katie Price’s ‘butterfly lip filler’ is a ‘dangerous trend,’ says top cosmetic doctor

Katie Price’s ‘butterfly lip filler’ is a ‘dangerous trend’, has ‘unpredictable results, carries a high risk of infection and could cause irreversible damage’, according to a leading cosmetic doctor.

The 44-year-old mother of five showed off the results of her latest cosmetic treatment on Thursday, showing off her massive pout in a series of images to her 2.6 million Instagram followers.

The owner of the Harley Street clinic, Dr Mohamed Hamed, whose celebrity clients include Dancing On Ice star Ekin-Su Culculoglu, Made In Chelsea’s Sophie Habboo and former Love Island contestant Faye Winter, warned Katie’s fans about the potential risks, insisting the procedure would not be offered by a ‘reputable practitioner’.

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, 31-year-old Dr Hamed, who calls himself Dr Motox, said: ‘A trusted doctor would not do this treatment.

‘There’s an uproar within the industry about the butterfly lip trend. It’s unsafe, unpredictable, and there’s no research behind it at all.

‘The treatments I perform at the clinic have years of research behind them, but someone here has tried to turn this into a desirable look simply to make money off of people. It’s so unethical.

“Some girls will look at Katie’s Instagram posts and think ‘this is the look I want’ but it’s not the look they’re going to get.”

Dr Hamed has stressed that Katie could face possible “long-term and irreversible changes” and says that the method used in her Instagram stories, which includes the use of surgical tape to keep the shape of her lips in place, is ” dangerous” and “unsanitary”. ‘

One possible complication of having a filler injected into your lips, which is a hyaluronic acid gel, is that it can move or ‘migrate’.

Katie’s doctor applied a solvent, which is a chemical normally used to break down filler, to manipulate the existing filler in her lips, before adding more, and the surgical tape maintains the plump shape.

But Dr. Hamed says the thinner can take up to 72 hours to develop and it’s “impossible to predict where it will spread,” meaning Katie will have no idea what her lips will look like two weeks from now.

He explained: ‘I have a problem with this trend being promoted as a new and natural technique, which it is not and is incredibly unsafe.

‘If a complication were to occur in my clinic, I would dissolve the filler immediately. Here, you’ve already put thinner on the lip, so it’s going to mask the signs of complications. It can be quite dangerous.

‘Katie is going to have unexpected results, she won’t know how her lips will settle.

‘In the long term, the filler will migrate again, so there is no point in undergoing this treatment.

‘Eventually, you’ll need all the filler to dissolve, allow it to settle, and refill it. Then, when a lip is overfilled, it will lose its elasticity and will never be the same again.

‘Usually fillers, Botox, are reversible treatments. But this will become irreversible and will cause long-term changes.’

Dr. Hamed also calls the use of surgical tape in this case “unhygienic” and advises his clients to keep the mouth area spotlessly clean after a treatment to avoid the risk of infection.

“The other issue here is the high risk of infection,” he explained.

“Taping around the mouth, which is one of the least sanitary areas, harbors bacteria, blood, and has a much higher risk of getting infections inside the lips, which again can be dangerous and could spread.”

Former Loose Woman Katie, who in recent weeks flew to Belgium where she underwent her 16th breast augmentation in a bid to have Britain’s biggest breasts, isn’t the only celeb to favor the butterfly lip trend. .

Former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger also bragged about having the procedure this week and says she’ll even offer the treatment at her own clinic.
