19 Freaky Cases of Lip Injections Gone Wrong

Deciding to get lip injections is a big life decision that can drastically alter the way someone looks. What is meant to be a facial enhancement or augmentation usually turns into a literal kick in the face, or at least that's what it looks like when the surgery is done. There seem to me more stories about lip plastic surgery gone wrong than there are stories about it going right.
