A US model was left shocked after she spent USD$32,000 (AUD$49,072) on getting a 'skinny BBL', only for brutal trolls to say she wasted her money.
New York-born Alina Rose went under the knife in April to get the cosmetic surgery, which included transferring fat from other areas of her body into her bottom.
The 25-year-old told Daily Mail she chose to undergo the procedure due to insecurities, but was taken aback when some fans claimed she looked better beforehand.
'I asked my surgeon for a "natural but snatched" vibe — not too dramatic. Just enough to make people do a double take. The trolls were brutal,' she said.
'They said, "You looked better before," "Just go to the gym," or, "You've ruined yourself." I've heard it all. People forget that I'm a real person.'

'I get that surgery isn't for everyone, but that doesn't give anyone the right to tear me down,' she added.
'I didn't get this surgery for likes or attention—I did it for me and that's enough.'
Alina, who is of Mexican heritage, went on to say she has always struggled with body confidence issues because her weight frequently fluctuated.
She said she wanted to make sure her derriere remained shapely no matter how much her body changed.
'I already had a nice body. People would compliment it all the time, but I've always had a love-hate relationship with how I look,' she said.
'I got the skinny BBL because I was insecure, not because I didn't love myself. My weight would fluctuate like crazy.
'I'd gain and lose fast, and every time I lost weight my butt would disappear. It made me feel so deflated—literally and emotionally.
'I just wanted something more permanent. I wanted to still look like me, just a little bit better. Not crazy, just enhanced. I spent [USD]$32,000 on this surgery.'
'People say that's insane, but for me it's peace of mind. It's control over my body. It's easy to say, "Just be confident," when you've never struggled with body image,' she continued.
Alina said getting the surgery had nothing to do with 'vanity', like some people would suggest.
'It's about finally feeling comfortable in your skin. This wasn't a transformation, it was a tweak,' she added.
'I still see me when I look in the mirror—just a version that feels a little more aligned with who I am inside.'
After splashing thousands on her new look, Alina, who has 6.1 million followers on TikTok and 4.6 million on Instagram, shared images of her figure online.
But the response was not what she hoped for.
Alina revealed she received brutal comments from online trolls who called her 'gross' and said she never needed surgery.
'They were already good. Why?' one person wrote, as another added: 'All that for what?'
'That is so gross. I would never do this. Too risky. Sometimes it never heals and you can get necrotic tissue,' a third commented.
'Why would anyone choose to do this? And it's genuinely for others' view on you,' someone else wrote.
'Who gives a f*** that much about how you look? Tell me you're not happy in your own skin without telling me.'
Another follower noted: 'Oh my God. Girl but you're so beautiful already. You don't need surgery. You're young, work out for those gains.'
