Andrea Ivanova, a 27-year-old from Bulgaria who claims to have the “world’s biggest lips,” has revealed what she looked like before undergoing years of extreme cosmetic enhancements.

Since beginning her transformation in 2018, Andrea has spent around £20,000 on lip fillers alone, along with numerous other facial procedures—including cheek, chin, and jaw shaping. Once a philosophy student, she’s now better known as a social media influencer with an eye-popping appearance that often makes headlines.

In newly shared “before” photos, Andrea looked completely different, with naturally proportioned features. Today, her dramatically altered face reflects her self-described love for “exaggerated” beauty.

“I don’t like boring, ordinary appearances,” Andrea says. “Natural beauty is boring to me, so I decided to radically change mine.”

Her obsession with bigger features has even led her to undergo six cosmetic procedures in a single day—despite her regular doctor refusing to perform them. Instead, she traveled to Germany to find a surgeon willing to carry out her experiment.

The experience left her in pain, with swelling, bruising, and difficulty smiling or eating. “My face hurt all over,” she said, “but that’s normal because the filler hadn’t settled.”

Still, Andrea says she has no plans to stop, even after her German doctor warned continuing could lead to necrosis—death of tissue due to lack of blood flow.

“I know the risks,” she admits. “But this makes me happy.”

Despite the controversy surrounding her extreme look, Andrea stands by her choices. “People shouldn’t judge others for how they look. Beauty is personal, and this is what I love.”
