Indian actress and model Sherlyn Chopra, known for her bold fashion statements, opened up about getting fillers and beauty enhancement surgeries. She recently went viral for her badly done facial fillers, which led people on the internet to call her an ‘alien.’ In a recent interview, the 37-year-old actress talked about injected fillers.
In a video posted on her social media, she shared, "You want me to talk about my alien look? Oh my god! Well, last year I went to a cosmetologist who had injected fillers all over my face. He had made my chin look 1 km long. He had made my lips look triple XL in size. He had given a 110-degree angle at both sides of my jawline. And what else... He had made my cheeks look heavily puffed up. So, in short, one could say that I was a chalta phirta Jaadu, with big boobs. My worst nightmare. Absolutely, no doubt!”

Read on ahead to know more about the injected fillers and the medical condition mentioned by the model.
What Are Injected Fillers?
Injected fillers, also called dermal fillers, are injections that make wrinkles look fuller and smooth out lines on the face. They are injected around the eyes, mouth, and nose to improve the appearance of facial lines and volume loss caused by age or certain medical conditions. These cosmetic injections often contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps keep skin hydrated.
The results are mostly visible right after the treatment, and the procedure is minimally invasive, meaning there is little downtime. While fillers can provide a natural look, they are temporary and typically last for a specific period. The surgery is performed by cosmetic facial surgeons and it can also be used to fill in hollow areas under the eyes.
Some of the common side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, and soreness where the filler is injected. These usually go away in a few days. However, more serious problems can happen, like infections, small lumps under the skin, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, fillers can block blood flow, which may damage tissue or cause vision issues if injected near the eyes.
Awareness and Knowledge of the Adverse Effects of Dermal Fillers Among the Saudi Population: A Cross-Sectional Study, the study published on PubMed, claims fillers are widely used for enhancing appearance and reducing signs of ageing. Bruising and a bluish colouration were the most commonly reported issues among people who had fillers.

In another post, she shared how Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disorder, almost led to kidney failure. SLE is a medical condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own healthy tissues. This causes inflammation and damage in different parts of the body. SLE is the most common type of lupus and can affect organs like the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, and lungs.
It can have a big effect on the skin, causing different symptoms and problems. One of the most well-known signs is the butterfly rash, a red, butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and nose. This rash often gets worse in sunlight, showing that people with lupus are often sensitive to the sun. SLE can significantly impact a person's quality of life. Treatment options for skin symptoms often include corticosteroid creams and medications to manage inflammation and prevent flare-ups.
