SOME may assume that Married at First Sight contestant Eden Harper has full lips as a result of filler.
But this week, she revealed the trauma behind the freak accident that left her face partially paralysed.
"My lips are definitely my biggest insecurity and the thing that gets me down the most when I look in the mirror is the scar above my mouth and the lack of movement in my mouth," she told Daily Mail.
"I fainted when I was 21 or 22, and I landed on glass and it split my whole face open and that's where the scar on my face is from," she explained.
"I had a few gashes, but the most notable was probably the size of a stretched out 20 cent coin from above my nose past the end of my mouth, and in order to stitch up the hole, the surgery lifted my whole mouth upwards and it's given me that giant upper lip look that I have."
Harper said the injury killed a muscle in her mouth and froze all movement in the lower half of her face.
"(The accident) was my confession letter on the show, which didn't make the cut, but it was probably the hardest six months of my life because my face was in a bandage for six months and I just thought every time I looked in the mirror I'd burst into tears," she said.
Harper decided to reveal the details of her surgery due to the ongoing speculation about the cosmetic procedures she may have undergone.
