Taking to her YouTube channel, Mihlali opened up to her over 300K subscribers about the experience. Setting the record straight she explained that her decision was not influenced by insecurities. She said she just wanted to get the bridge that she always wanted.
She explained, "I honestly didn’t do them because of any insecurity about my lips or any insecurity about my face in actual fact I honestly just wanted to achieve a fuller lip but I wanted it naturally. I love the bridge on full lips and I wanted that bridge so I thought let me just go and buy this bridge.”
She said she paid over R5000 to get the lip bridge but the results were not what she had hoped for.
“I basically felt like my lips were botched and obviously quite a few people noticed. I mean you guys know how my face looks,” she said pouring her heart out on YouTube.
Making it clear that she does not blame the Dr. for the outcomes of her lip filling process, Mihlali said her lips were too big and the Dr. told her to give it at least 2 weeks but after that, she was still not satisfied.
Mihlali said she started panicking, and she then booked an appointment with another doctor to get her lips dissolved which gave her the bridge she desired but only on the one side of her lips. She said she then went back to the first Dr. and the rest is history, she is happy with the shape of her lips at the moment.
The YouTuber said she was worried about her lips because she constantly has to be in front of the camera.
"I work with my face, I definitely can’t shoot content with these and expect people not to notice,” she said.
Mihlali's face has brought her the success that she has today of course her hard work as well. During her interview on Banques and Venom show on YFM she revealed that she was getting a million rand on a deal she had just bagged.
"I can’t say the brand because I’ve just signed with them. So there is something that I’m doing with a brand soon and they’re giving me one bar. To post my content, product placements," she said.
