She says that from the moment she came into contact with the injected substance, she could feel things going wrong. The beautician, on the other hand, repeatedly confirmed that it was normal, that the uneasiness would go away as the hours passed.
But it didn't turn out that way. An hour after the beautician left, Christina began to suffer unbearable pain. Her lips were swollen and she thought they were going to explode.
The worst part was when she noticed that her mouth took the shape of a duck's beak and she could hardly open it; then his throat began to close: it was extremely hard for her to breathe. When the ambulance arrived, they had to assist her to breathe and give her adrenaline.
