Jenna, who lives with her parents Darren and Helen Maclean, 48, said: “I refused to have pictures taken of me all over Christmas because I didn’t like the way I looked. Mortified, Jenna’s agony only ended when she returned shamefaced to work in the new year and her boss, Dr Rita Poddar, a cosmetic dental surgeon and aesthetics director, sorted out her lips and gave her back her smile.

A dental nurse who treated herself to cut-price lip fillers as an early Christmas present told of her horror after she was left unable to smile properly because her protruding top lip made her look as though she “didn’t have any teeth”.
