Lottie Tomlinson made an open letter regarding the decision to dissolve the filler on her cheeks and lips.
Lottie, now 26, previously revealed that she had made the decision following the birth of her son Lucky, now two. She has since said that she felt “insecure” during the pregnancy due to the “combination” of weight gain and facial fillers.
In her book Lucky Girl, which first appeared last year, she expressed her thoughts on the choice. Lottie shared that her fiancée Lewis Burton, 32 – with whom she also shares one-month-old daughter Flossie – made her “feel special” whilst she was pregnant with Lucky as she dealt with insecurities.
The content creator said that she was “still so tied up” in her “physical appearance” at that time and that she thought it was “everything”. She then described how her face “blown up” and her bump “huge” toward the end of the pregnancy, which she later admitted contributed to her decision to have her fillers removed.
In her memoir, she explains that she felt “extremely insecure” because of the weight gain and all the fillers I’d taken before getting pregnant. As my face blew up, the fillers on my lips and cheeks made me look silly, and I realized the beauty treatments had gotten a little out of hand. I eliminated them all after having Lucky.”
Lottie said that her decision coincided with a “movement” on social media “supporting a more natural look”, which she said “helped” her “take the plunge”. She added that the pregnancy had led her on a “journey of self-acceptance” and remembered thinking of her son experiencing the same feelings in the future, with her sharing that she was “upset” over the prospect.
She continued by saying that it resulted in her “questioning” why she had “these feelings in the first place”. Lottie suggested that “so much of it” was due to her career and social media, but said that she could, for the first time, “see beyond that” after becoming a parent.
She claimed that because of her body’s “creation of life,” there was “something so much more important.” Lottie said that although she had a “hard time” with her body “developing”, she then also had an “appreciation for it”.
Lottie had written about having her fillers disband before her memoir, which was in 2022. As previously reported, she wrote at the time: “Thank you @harley_st_injectables for giving me my natural face back. I made the decision to get rid of the filler and become the natural me after years of it. One of the best decisions I’ve made”.
