A woman has shared how a botched Botox job left her face looking like something out of a “nightmare”.
Ashley Warwick claims even her fiancé, Tyler Norman, 35, was terrified after seeing the results of her beauty appointment.
The 37-year-old has been getting Botox injections for over 10 years but took a two-year-break – before recently returning to the clinic.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go to plan.
Ashley shared a video of her face online, which has racked up 3.1m views and 129,000 views from concerned users.
In the clip, she revealed a bizarre facial expression, which resembled the famous mask from the ‘Scream’ movie franchise.
“It scared my fiancé and I ran to the bathroom to check it out for myself in the mirror,” Ashley told What’s The Jam.
“I had been speaking with him at the time and I tried to make a concerned face.

“I just so happened to pull this silly face that I have never been able to make before.
“That’s when I decided to make a video.”
Some viewers guessed that Ashley’s ability to pull the strange expression was down to a clinician forgetting to inject one part of her face.

“Your injector missed your corrugator muscle on both sides. It’s an easy fix if you go back,” commented a different clinic, called Skin Religion Medical Spa.
Ashley, who hails from Phoenix, Arizona, has thankfully been able to see the funny side of the situation.
As has her nephew, Luke, eight, who described his auntie as a “Halloween pumpkin”.
Ashley paid £395 ($400 USD) for the Botox.
After her funny effects, she returned to the salon for help – and ended up spending another £260 ($350) to six the issue.
Since going viral, Ashley, whose face has now gone back to normal, has even had puzzled strangers come up to her to say they recognise her face.
She said: “Making others laugh is what it’s all about to me, especially in this sort of dark time we live in.
“It’s been so funny meeting new people who will say things like ‘You look so familiar’ and then reference the video.
“I’ve met plenty of new people who recognized me from the video or who had seen the video prior to meeting me.
“I’ve really enjoyed the comments specifically of those who said they’ve been going through a hard time and that my video made them laugh and smile.”
Viewers have been left stunned by the hilarious clip.
One person said: “Hey girl, in the nicest way possible this facial expression might show up in my nightmares.”
Another person added: “This conveys an emotion that we haven’t yet discovered.”
One other person said: “That’s exactly the face my sims make when they’re sad.”
One person added: “Great anti Botox ad.”
Another person said: “This is actually terrifying. Why do I always see things like this at night in the dark.”
One person said: “Thank you for de-influencing me today.”
Another person added: “That’s exactly the face my Sims make when they’re sad.”
One other person said: “I just laughed so hard that I woke up the baby.”
Another person said: “My Sims used to pull this face.”
One person added: “They gave you the Sims 3 facial expansion pack.”
Ashley declined to name the salon as she “doesn’t want the injector to get any unnecessary harassment”.
But she’ll find a new salon for her next top-up.
She added: “My face has since returned to normal and this hasn’t deterred me from getting Botox again.
I will likely get more once this batch wears off but might be looking into a new salon to do so.”
