@brianagarabet/TikTok

A TikToker posted the intense swelling from her lip filler treatment and commenters thought she looked like the Grinch from the Dr. Seuss classic The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

Briana Garabet, a 22-year-old in Los Angeles, California posted a short clip of her swollen lips.


The text over the video said:

"You guys I just got lip filler and it's so f*cking swollen."
"Is this bad?"

Her lips grew three sizes that day.

Other commenters who have also had lip filler assured us this wasn't abnormal or cause for concern.

If Garabet was really concerned about her reaction to the filler, she probably wouldn't be making TikToks about it.

She even made a second one when the filler looked even worse than the first video.

Because so many people were concerned, Garabet did post an actual update where she explained everything was in fact okay.

In this video, her lips are far less swollen.

"I assure you guys I am A-Okay."
"This is the first day where it looks sort of normal."
"This has actually happened to me before."
"I talked to my doctor and he said it was fine."
"I wasn't having an allergic reaction or anything, I just get really swollen."
"I appreciate all the concern though. I'm fine."
"It's still honestly even a little swollen today but it's for the most part healed I would say."
"I just thought I'd look hilarious and thought I'd share with you guys."

Garabet also said she was a little embarrassed this was the reason she went viral on TikTok, but she's happy with the results of the lip filler.

Even if it meant momentarily looking like "The Grinch."

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
