Woman spends Rs 1.45 crore on ‘momo-like' lips; now struggles to eat and speak
Source: Instagram In a world increasingly influenced by social media filters, cosmetic enhancements, and viral beauty standards, one woman is making headlines for embracing an extreme version of beauty, one that challenges norms and sparks debate. Vienna Würstel, a 25-year-old from Mallorca, Spain, has become a controversial online figure for her massive lip enhancements and unapologetic approach to cosmetic procedures. Her journey offers insight into the growing cultural obsession with aesthetics and self-expression. Spanish woman Vienna's cosmetic transformation costs 1.45 crores From a young age, Vienna was captivated by ultra-feminine ideals. While most teenagers experimented with makeup or hair trends, Vienna fixated on a more dramatic transformation. For her, femininity wasn't about subtlety—it was about bold, exaggerated features, especially full lips and curvaceous contours. 'As soon as I turned 18 and was legally allowed, I was ready to get plumped,' Vienna revealed. Her first lip filler appointment marked the beginning of an ever-evolving cosmetic journey that quickly turned into an obsession. Over five years, Vienna has spent more than $175,000 (approximately Rs 1.45 crore) on aesthetic procedures. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Преносим лазерен заваръчен пистолет, 50% отстъпка днес HL Купете сега Undo Of that, nearly $50,000 (approx. Rs 41 lakh) was spent on lip fillers alone. She receives new injections every two to four weeks to maintain the volume and appearance of her now-iconic pout. But she doesn't settle for just any clinic—Vienna frequently travels from Spain to Frankfurt, Germany, to visit what she calls 'the best extreme lip surgeon ever.' Each visit costs upwards of $2,000 (Rs1.6 lakh), underscoring her unwavering commitment. 'Beauty has no price tag,' she asserts. 'It's totally worth it.' How social media reacted vs how she defines beauty For Vienna, conventional standards of beauty fall short. Her ideal appearance is characterized by extremes—larger-than-life lips, an hourglass figure, and exaggerated features. 'Once I started, it became an obsession,' she admitted. 'Big lips, big curves, big everything. That's what feels right to me.' To Vienna, huge lips are the ultimate symbol of sex appeal and womanhood. It's not just about looking different—it's about fully owning her vision of femininity and feeling empowered in her skin. With her dramatic appearance comes constant public scrutiny. Vienna is no stranger to online trolling and hate comments, particularly about her oversized lips. According to Daily Mail reports, critics have likened her pout to 'fat, round momos,' often mocking her photos on social media. However, rather than retreat, Vienna confronts the negativity head-on. 'I get tons of hate, mostly about my lips and how I look,' she said. 'But it's always the same type of people—women whose boyfriends won't let them get work done or people who just can't afford it. It's all jealousy and projection.' She added, 'No genuinely happy person spends their time leaving hateful comments.'
