Thankfully Sofia had already warned the beautician about her allergies in advance, as reported on What’s The Jam.
As well as her sensitivities to filler, she’d had reactions in the past to pets and several foods.
She said: “The gel in my lips started clumping together, which looked unattractive.
“That’s why I decided to visit a beautician to have it removed.
“I’m doing fine now and following all the doctor’s instructions.”
