Woman with the world's biggest lips reveals what she looked like before surgery
Andrea Ivanova from Bulgaria regularly hits the headlines due to her enhanced appearance, which has seen her fork out an estimated £20,000 on lip filler alone after starting her transformation in 2018.
The 27-year-old has previously admitted she struggles to find love because of her dramatic look, but it hasn't stopped her from achieving her goal of having the biggest lips and cheeks in the world.
Now, she has revealed what she looked like before altering her face via cosmetic enhancements.
In her 'before' photos, a youthful Andrea can be seen with regularly proportioned lips. But since undergoing her enhancement journey, she has become scarcely recognisable.
Her long list of treatments included chin shaping, enlargement and lengthening, jaw shaping and lip augmentation, as well as cheekbone enhancement - all at once.
She's previously spoken about how she likes to stand out from the crowds with her unique look.
'I like exaggerated things like huge lips, a face with many fillers, heavy and eccentric make-up, Andrea said.
'I don't like boring ordinary appearances and I am a fan of huge shapes and eccentric beauties. Natural beauty is boring to me so I decided to change my appearance radically.'
The social media influencer has spoken openly about having had six procedures done in a single day as an 'experiment' - even though her usual doctor refused to do it.
'My doctor was afraid to inject more hyaluronic acid into my lips, but I was adamant that I wanted more, and I will not stop,' Andrea said.
'I wanted to do six procedures at once. Until now, I always did these on different areas of the face on different days.'
Andrea had previously only ever had a maximum of three needles in her face at the same time.
'But this time, I wanted to experiment with myself to see how many injections and [amounts of filler] would affect my body,' she said.
She even had to seek out a doctor in Germany to do the procedures, which went ahead in February last year, as her usual surgeon simply refused.
And even though Andrea was excited about the experience, she confessed it had been extremely painful.
'I have pain all over my face right now and my jaw and chin hurt a lot,' she said at the time.
'It's hard for me to smile because of the pain in my cheekbones and there's a pulling sensation over my face.'
But Andrea insisted the feeling was normal after treatment because the 'filler hadn't settled into place'.
Although she finds eating difficult, Andrea is adamant her lips 'don't hurt'.
She added: 'I only feel a slight discomfort, but that's where I have the most amount of filler and where I've had injections the most amount of times. The more filler there is, the less the area hurts.'
Despite the pain, Andrea doesn't have any plans to slow down or reduce her voluptuous look.
The former philosophy student planned to go to Germany to visit the same surgeon, as her usual doctor is sceptical about going forward with her transformation.
But now even the German medical practitioner has revealed their concerns.

'I had no fears about having so many injections at once because I trust my doctor and they are a great professional in cosmetic surgery,' she said.
'But they are afraid I'll get necrosis and have to have the tissue surgically removed from my lips if I carry on.'
Necrosis is the death of body tissue, which occurs when not enough blood flows to the site, according to the NHS.
This condition can be caused by radiation, chemicals or injury, and in some cases can be fatal.
'There are risks involved, such as inflammation, and raised body temperature, especially with so much at once,' Andrea added.
'I have facial swelling and bruising right now, which is normal due to the many needles, but I think in a few days, I'll recover.'
She continued: 'You shouldn't judge people for their looks. It's their taste and no one has the right to be offended because of it.
'I think I'm going to carry on doing multiple injections in one day going forward, as it makes me very happy.'

Doctor's horrifying prediction for woman with 'world's biggest lips as flesh could rot
Andrea Ivanova, 27, has spent an estimated £20,000 on lip filler alone in her quest for extreme beauty - and new photos show her dramatic transformation from her natural appearance A woman who claims to have the "world's biggest lips" has revealed what she looked like before beginning her dramatic transformation. Since 2018, Andrea Ivanova, a 27-year-old woman from Bulgaria, has spent an estimated £20,000 on lip filler alone in pursuit of her extreme aesthetic. Now a social media personality, she has also undergone multiple procedures including chin enlargement and reshaping, jaw contouring, cheekbone enhancement and extensive lip augmentation. In recently released "before" photos, Andrea appears with naturally proportioned features — a stark contrast to her current dramatically altered appearance. "I like exaggerated things — huge lips, a face with many fillers, heavy and eccentric make-up," she explained. "Natural beauty is boring to me, so I decided to change my appearance radically." Dark lonely life of Bonnie Blue from acid attack fears and seclusion to divorce Brit comedian Cerys Nelmes arrested in Turkey after 'embarrassing mistake' in Zara Andrea says she intentionally strives to stand out, embracing what she calls "eccentric beauty." Her passion for transformation even led her to undergo six facial procedures in a single day — something her usual doctor refused to do due to safety concerns. Undeterred, Andrea found a surgeon in Germany who agreed to perform the treatments in February of last year. The procedures, however, came with significant physical discomfort. "I had pain all over my face. My jaw and chin hurt a lot, and it was hard to smile," she said at the time. "There was a pulling sensation across my cheekbones, but I knew it was normal because the filler hadn't yet settled." Despite the swelling, bruising, and difficulty eating, Andrea insisted her lips didn't hurt and described the pain as manageable. "The more filler there is, the less the area hurts,' she claimed. 'It's only a slight discomfort.' Although Andrea was initially thrilled with the results, even her German doctor has since voiced concerns about the long-term effects of her extreme cosmetic regimen — particularly the risk of necrosis, a serious condition in which tissue dies due to poor blood supply. The NHS warns that necrosis can be caused by trauma, radiation, or chemical exposure and may even be life-threatening. 'There are risks like inflammation and fever, especially with so many injections at once,' Andrea admitted. 'But I trust my doctor. They're a great professional in cosmetic surgery.' Andrea says she's aware of the potential dangers, but she remains committed to her aesthetic goals. 'You shouldn't judge people for their appearance — everyone has different tastes,' she said. 'It makes me very happy, and I plan to continue doing multiple injections in a single day in the future.' Plastic surgeon and aesthetic doctor Dr Leonard Josipovic blasted Andrea's doctor for carrying out the procedures, saying: "Boundaries have been crossed." 'As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I believe our role is not just to enhance appearances, but to protect patient safety, uphold ethical standards, and prioritise long-term wellbeing," he told The Mirror. "What we're seeing here goes far beyond aesthetic enhancement – this is extreme body modification, and it raises serious red flags around medical responsibility. "Repeated overfilling of the lips and face, especially in high-risk areas like the lips and nose, can lead to irreversible complications – including tissue death, vascular occlusion, permanent disfigurement, or even blindness. Allowing this degree of overcorrection is not in line with responsible, ethical medical practice." Dr Josipovic added: "Aesthetic medicine should never be about shock value. It's meant to empower patients and enhance natural beauty – not compromise health. When boundaries like this are crossed, it reflects a breakdown in proper patient screening, ethical oversight, and clinical judgement. As professionals, we must be brave enough to say no.'

Controversial horror classic is being turned into a TV series after film was BANNED for 'obscene brutality'
One of the most controversial horror franchises of all time is being turned into a TV series. Eli's Roth Hostel, which was dubbed 'torture porn' when the first film was released back in 2005, is being developed at Peacock, according to Variety. Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti is set to star in series, while Roth will write, direct, and executive produce. Roth wrote and directed the first two films in the franchise but was not involved in the third installment, which was released direct-to-DVD in 2011. Little is known about the plot of the series yet, but the movies follow a secret Slovakian criminal organization that lures foreign tourists into deceptively idyllic hostels, where wealthy sadists and psychopaths then torture and kill them. In the first film, two American college graduates travel across Europe and end up in Slovakia after being told that a local hostel in the area is filled with beautiful Eastern European women. Once inside, they're drugged by the women and then sold to the Elite Hunting Club to be maimed and murdered. The sequel features a female cast of American art students who are seduced by the promise of a luxurious spa experience in Slovakia. Eli's Roth Hostel, which was dubbed 'torture porn' when the first film was released back in 2005, is being developed at Peacock Like the men in the first movie, the trio end up drugged and sold to the Elite Hunting Club. After two of the women are killed in unbelievably horrific ways, one manages to escape after castrating her captor. The sequel was extremely controversial upon its 2007 release and was outright banned in New Zealand. In the UK, MP Charles Walker said that it 'depicts obscene, misogynistic acts of brutality against women.' The first film garnered $82 million worldwide off a small budget of under $5 million, while the second made $36 million worldwide. It's unclear exactly how gruesome the TV series will be, but it was previously described as 'modern adaptation' and 'elevated thriller' by The Hollywood Reporter. Hostel is far from the only horror IP that Peacock is taking on. The streamer is also deep into production on a Friday the 13th prequel series called Crystal Lake. Instead of focusing on Jason Voorhees, the 'expanded prequel' is centered on his mother Pamela, who was the killer in the original 1980 film. Meanwhile, It: Welcome to Derry, based on Stephen King's original killer clown novel, is coming to HBO in October. It comes after the success of the 2017 remake and its 2019 sequel. Ridley Scott's Alien also has its own prequel series premiering soon called Alien: Earth. The original Alien film famously starred Sigourney Weaver as the iconic character Ripley. This time around, Sydney Chandler is leading the prequel series as Wendy, an android who has the body of a robot but the consciousness of a human. Her deep space research vessel crash lands on earth in the year 2120, where Wendy and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers must face 'mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.'
