A lot of people have horror stories about lash lifts. One cause is when the technician doesn't properly isolate the lashes before applying the lift solution. This can cause lashes to clump together. Another is over - processing, which can make the lashes brittle and more likely to break.
There are horror stories where the lash lift just doesn't last as expected. This could be due to using low - quality products. Sometimes, the lashes may look great right after the procedure but then quickly droop back to their original state. And in really bad cases, there have been reports of the lashes getting stuck together during the process because the solution was too thick or not applied evenly.
My horror story was that during the keratin lash lift, the solution stung my eyes a bit. I'm not sure if it was a normal reaction or if something was wrong with the product. After that, my lashes became really dry and brittle. I had to use a lot of lash conditioner to try and get them back to normal.
There are several things that can turn a keratin lash lift into a horror story. For instance, if the technician is not properly trained, they may not apply the keratin evenly. This can lead to some lashes being lifted more than others, creating an uneven look. In addition, some products used in the lash lift might not be of high quality. Low - quality keratin solutions can cause the lashes to lose their natural shine and flexibility, making them look dull and lifeless. And if the aftercare instructions are not followed properly, it can also lead to problems like premature drooping of the lashes.
One horror story is when the lash extensions were glued together. It made the eyes look really strange and clumpy. It was so bad that the person had to have them removed immediately.
I heard of a ski lift where the cable snapped. The gondola carrying the skiers fell a short distance before getting caught on some trees. The people inside were bruised and shaken. It was a miracle that it didn't fall all the way to the ground. Since then, the ski resort has done extensive safety checks on all their lifts.
There are cases where the lip lift has led to a permanent change in the ability to move the lips properly. After the procedure, the person might find it hard to purse their lips, smile in a natural way, or even speak clearly. This could be due to damage to the nerves or muscles around the lips during the lip lift. For example, if the surgeon made an error in cutting or suturing, it could have affected the functionality of the lips, leaving the patient with a physical and emotional burden as they struggle to adapt to this new, unexpected situation.
No, they're not overly common. Most PDO thread lift procedures go well. But when things go wrong, it can be quite scary. For example, the rare cases of bad reactions get a lot of attention because they are so concerning.
One horror story is when the threads got infected. A woman had a thread lift and soon after, the area around the inserted threads became red, swollen and extremely painful. It turned out to be an infection which required antibiotics and in some cases, removal of the threads.
I had lash extensions for a special occasion. But within a day, they started falling out in clumps. It looked so patchy and hideous. I think the glue wasn't applied properly. It was really embarrassing, especially since I had paid a good amount for them.
