Loose Women's Carol McGiffin unveils 'disturbing' look with 'face full of fillers'

Loose Women panellist Carol McGiffin stunned viewers with "a face full of fillers" on the show.

Guests on the ITV programme were debating whether or not people should need a prescription to have fillers injected into their faces and lips. MPs are calling for the regulation of fillers as currently there is no mandatory training required to carry out the work.

On Thursday's show, Carol admitted she had previously had a face lift. Then a picture of her was shown with highly-enhanced facial features, showing what her face would look like if she had gone too far with fillers.

The panellist said: "I haven't had all of that work done what is shown in the picture. That is a very disturbing look for me. It's an app or a filter or something that my friend used to see what I would look like if I went too far."

She added: "What's worrying about that app is that that is a look that some people aspire to. When you don't have this sort of thing regulated everyone can just get it. So many young people are getting it and aspiring to a look."

She further said: "I think, not prescription you don't need to get it on prescription, but there should be definitely more regulation I think. I think there should be an age limit and consultations for people to make sure they haven't got any dysmorphia."

Denise Welch asked fellow host Katie Piper if she thought these women having cosmetic procedures were "superficial" due to Katie having to have reconstructive surgery after a terrible incident, reports the Liverpool Echo. She replied: "Short answer is no I don't. I think it's such a complex thing."

She added: "Had I not been burnt and I had aged I might have had treatments, I might have gone on to do things like that as I got older. So no, I don't judge you for it and I think that's the key here."

Katie said that while she isn't "anti-treatment" she does agree that there should be regulations for Botox and fillers. She explained how the beauticians don't have the power to prescribe antibiotics if the client suffers an infection due to the treatments and they don't have the correct training to deal with adverse reactions.
