People on social media are trying to get lips like Kylie Jenner.
They’re taking cups (or whatever fits around their lips) and sucking the air out to create suction that pulls on their lips. This increases blood flow, which enlarges the blood vessels, leading to swollen lips.
What people don’t realize is just how painful they can be. If severe enough, it can lead to trauma around the lips and severe bruising, as many people found out….
