Woman unrecognisable after undergoing 15 lip filler procedures

A 22-year-old philosophy student who has undergone 15 cosmetic procedures has no plans of slowing down, wanting the world’s biggest lips.

Cosmetic surgery disasters: Here’s why you shouldn’t get work done overseas

One look through Andrea Ivanova’s Instagram page and you will notice just how proud she is of her pronounced lips.

The 22-year-old from Bulgaria has bombarded her social media feed with screenshots of news stories about her cosmetic procedures.

“I like my lips now more than before,” Andrea said.

“I feel very good and very happy with my new lips because, according to me, with bigger lips I look prettier.”

Andrea, who said she had lost count of how much her more than 15 procedures had cost, has visited nearly every clinic for aesthetic procedures in her home city of Sofia, putting in “all kinds of lips fillers”.

And she has no plans of slowing down.

In fact, Andrea, who has tripled the size of her lips, plans to go even bigger, saying she wants to have the biggest lips in the world.

“Yes, why not? But in my country the big lips are fashionable and there are many girls with fillers in the lips too,” Andrea said.

To achieve the full pout, Andrea reportedly injects hyaluronic acid in her lips and “refills” them every time they start to reduce in size

Having amassed more than 16,000 followers on Instagram since she began her transformation last year, Andrea admits she receives backlash from people criticising her extreme appearance — with some comparing her to Daffy Duck and the Loch Ness monster.

“I get thousands of messages of compliments on my lips and on my outfit and on my vision and style every day from people all over the world,” she said.

“I have both positive and negative comments, but women write most of the negative comments.

“There are people who like me with bigger lips and there are people who like me with smaller lips, but it doesn’t matter to me because it’s important for me how I like it.”

In one photo before her transformation, Andrea has a lot less make-up, brown hair and natural lashes.

However, it wasn’t a look that made her feel content.

“I’m broad-minded and I think people should be free to choose which one is for them — big, bigger or too big,” she said.

“There are no boundaries for me.”

Andrea, whose idol is Nicolette Shea, an adult film actress, described herself as being “unique” and “different”.

“I have a completely individual style and vision,” she said.

“I don’t look like anyone and I don’t imitate anyone.

“I’m glad the universe gave me the chance (for) many people to see me and to know that I exist and I want to tell people: Be happy and do what you like,” she said, adding: “Don’t let others restrict your choice.”
