Shaughna Phillips has revealed her lips swollen up so "bad" after getting lip filler , that she had to hide her face until they had gone down.

The Love Island star posted a shocking before and after picture to her followers, showing her lips swollen up on the night after receiving the cosmetic treatment and now that they have reduced in swelling.

Posting a selfie to her 1.4 million followers, the 30-year-old captioned it: "Swelling has gone down so I can show my face again. Only had the tiniest top up in my lips but the Russian method makes me swell."

She went on to describe what she went through in a video, addressing the camera she said: "It’s only right I show you how bad it was…

“Now full disclosure, this wasn’t a surprise, this wasn’t how I had them done or anything like that. This was literally the Russian method which makes you swell, but I swelled."

Shaughna then posted a snap of her extremely swollen lips while lounging at home with the caption: "I am screaming. Guys I was really going through it."

Shaughna said the swelling has now gone down

Russian lips use the same filler as the standard cosmetic treatment, however it uses a specific technique that will shape lips differently into a subtle heart shape, much like a Russian doll.

As the filler is injected vertically, it tends to build height, rather than excessive volume. Other celebrities, such as Katie Price have opted for the Russian technique more recently.

According to one clinic, as there are several injection points with this technique, those who receive it may find that they have more initial swelling and some bruising after.

The mum appeared on the winter series of Love Island, back in 2020. She has since revealed that she had a boob lift before appearing on the ITV2 show.

She has also been open about having lip fillers and Botox treatments, while also undergoing liposuction on her legs.

Shaughna said the liposuction was "medically needed" because she has a rare condition called lipoedema which causes excess fat on her legs.

In 2022 she had lip filler dissolved so she could start her lip journey from scratch.

On her Instagram she said: "I was so hesitant about having my lips dissolved because I honestly don’t remember what I even look like without them!

"But there’s more to life than what size your bloody lips are…I'll be back in 2 weeks time and will start from scratch, this time I’ll be doing a little here and there so I can really get the shape, I cannot wait."
