Oh, here we go again with a ridiculous and disturbing beauty trend. Well … not exactly beauty. We’ve all been made aware of Kardashian sibling, Kylie Jenner’s notoriously pouty lips. Little did we know that there would be people out there dumb enough to try and mimic these suckers, even if the results are only temporary.

This trend — obviously not endorsed by Jenner — involves sucking the air out of the open end of a shot glass, causing the lips to swell and “plump” in appearance. Girls and boys around the nation are taking part in the artificial procedure.

The majority of results are, well, less than glamorous. The “procedure” often results in swollen, bruised and sore lips.

According to Seventeen, one medical expert has already deemed it dangerous (I mean … duh, of course it’s dangerous.) Dermatologic surgeon Dendy Engelman said the “DIY lip plumping is quite concerning” and on top of the obvious results from the suction, “there is potential risk for scarring and permanent disfigurement with repeated attempts.”  

Long story short: don’t do it.
