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."

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
