‘ALL MY MATES WERE HAVING FILLERS’
Rikki Lemmon, 24, is an events coordinator. She’s had fillers to reshape her jaw, lips, and chin after being bullied at school for her looks. Rikki lives with her mum, Andrea, in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
Growing up, I hated my face. At school, girls made fun of me and I was dubbed ‘potato face’. I wanted the angles and strong definition that reality stars flaunted. In March 2016, I realised no amount of contouring would give me the jawline I craved. I wanted Kylie Jenner's lips, and cheekbones of girls like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. All my mates were having fillers, and the model and reality-TV castings I attended were full of girls with fillers.
When I told Mum I was having fillers to improve my jawline, she was appalled and lectured me about the dangers. She told me I was beautiful and that I would become addicted and be under the knife by the time I was 30.
