But the seemingly simple procedure, done by a beautician, went wrong almost immediately.
Within two days, the skin on her nose turned completely black.
To this day, the 58-year-old divorcee is still undergoing treatment, even after spending most of the past year trying to rebuild her nose.
Jenny (not her real name) will always regret her decision to allow a medically untrained person to inject an unknown substance into her face.

The second injection, using the same product, was done with a "very long" needle, she said. No anaesthesia was given.
