The 24-year-old, who is originally from Redditch, Worcestershire, was not concerned about the cheap price - in the UK Juvéderm fillers normally cost up to £400 - as she believed Groupon was a 'trusted site'.
She had researched the brand, and having discovered the fillers are non-permanent, says she considered a cosmetic procedure such as this similar to 'getting your hair dyed'.
After having the injections in April last year she was initially happy with her new look, as her lips were much plumper.
But within months she was devastated when hard, wart-like lumps formed on her mouth.
She told MailOnline: 'I looked in the mirror and looked horrific. I cried to my boyfriend at the time, but I didn't tell anyone back home.
'Your lips are right there on your face, the first thing that people look at.
'Mine looked grotesque. The word I always say is my lips look mangled.
'Now I try to never smile with my mouth open because I’ve got these massive three lumps.
'Whenever I meet someone new I’m self-conscious, I think "they must be looking at my lips".'
