Woman with 'world's biggest lips' reveals what she looked like before surgery
A woman who claims to have the 'world's biggest lips' has revealed what she looked like before undergoing dramatic surgery and getting copious amounts of lip filler. Andrea Ivanova from Bulgaria regularly hits the headlines due to her enhanced appearance, which has seen her fork out an estimated $27,000 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 bold look, but it hasn't stopped her from achieving her goal of having the most exagerrated lips and cheeks in the world. Now, Andrea has revealed what she looked like before altering her face via cosmetic enhancements. In her 'before' photos, a youthful Andrea can be seen with regular proportioned lips. But since undergoing her enhancement journey, she has become scarcely recognizable. 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 crowd with her unique look. 'I like exaggerated things like huge lips, a face with many fillers, heavy and eccentric make-up. '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. '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 skeptical 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,' Andrea said. 'But they are afraid I'll get necrosis and have to have the tissue surgically removed from my lips if I carry on. 'There are risks involved, such as inflammation, and raised body temperature, especially with so much at once.' '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.'

Woman lashes Spirit Airlines for refusing to let her fly because she'd just had cosmetic surgery
A Spirit Airlines passenger filmed himself arguing with staff who denied her boarding because she'd just had cosmetic surgery - even though she had a doctor's note. Shataria Banks traveled from Texas to Florida for the procedure - whose details she has refused to share for privacy reasons - but was unable to return home on Wednesday. She captured video of her confrontation at the Spirit Airlines desk in the Miami airport. After the agent told her she was not allowed to fly, Banks asked 'Do you all have that policy online before you book?' The agent replied, 'We have procedure that I have to follow... it's about your safety.' Banks continued to ask what policy was in place that allowed them to deny her despite having approval from her doctor. 'Well, we don't have it in writing—verbatim—from their spirit supervisor,' she told CBS Miami. 'It was just how I was treated on top of them just neglecting what my doctor said. 'Even though you all have my medical clearance, even though my doctor's— you all are still restricting me to fly.' She did not specify what type of cosmetic surgery she had, but does appear to be walking around with a drainage bag around her waist. 'I am writing this letter to request a flight assistance certificate for my patient. After a thorough assessment, I confirm that my patient can travel by air,' Bank's doctor's note said. Spirit Airlines told their agent complied with company policy. 'The safety and well-being of our Guests is our top priority. Our records show the agents followed our procedures and consulted with a designated on-call medical professional via our vendor MedLink to verify the Guest's fitness to travel,' the spokesperson said. 'The medical professional at MedLink was informed of the Guest's documentation and advised that the Guest was not fit to travel based on their condition at the time and in the interest of their safety. The Guest was ultimately issued a refund for the flight.' Spirit staff likely worried that if Banks had suffered a surgery-related medical issue while in mid-air, they could be held liable. Banks said she respects the need for safety but believes a clearer policy needs to be in place. 'I'm not saying that they can't deny their travelers and they're looking out for their safety, but have something in place, because everybody don't have money to waste for a new flight. I never want to fly with them, ever, ever,' she said.

OLIVIA Attwood audibly gasps and says 'oh my god' on her TV show, as a Price of Perfection star reveals their incredible before and after surgery pics. The 34-year-old TV host is introduced to Alicia in the programme, who has spent over £250,000 on cosmetic surgery. 4 4 4 Going into her home, Olivia and Alicia sit down on the sofa, during which Alicia shows photos of herself 'looking natural' before she'd had anything done. She gets out her photo album and Olivia has a flick through, audibly gasping as she sees photos of Alicia before surgery. 'Oh my God,' Olivia says, while staring at the photos. 'That was in 2016,' Alicia explains, going on to tell her a bit about her surgery journey. She says: 'I think I was probably 18 at that time, and completely natural.' Olivia questions: 'Do you think this girl here had any idea how your life would be and how you'd look?' She responds: 'No, to people who really knew me back then and knew what I was like, it wouldn't be a big shock. 'I've always sort of been quite outgoing and confident and sexual, and I just needed to find my niche.' She spoke about having filler and £650 implants, as well as a nose job. Watch as original The Traitors star undergoes facelift for Olivia Attwood's ITV show after TV fame Olivia asks if there are things she's gone without because she had plastic surgery, but Alicia says there isn't anything she hasn't been able to do because of it. 'I choose my health,' she said, adding: 'I spend a lot of money on the stuff I put into my body and food and that kind of thing, and I spend a lot of money getting the right kind of filler and the best products.' She told Olivia she has such a fun life, when asked by the Love Island star if she'll ever want to be the girl she once was again, before surgery. Whether it's Botox, a boob job or even filler, Olivia Attwood herself isn't shy about admitting she has tried and tested them. The star recently revealed that she spends 'a couple of grand a month' on maintaining her image. Her budget covers skincare, vitamins, gym memberships, and all of her aesthetic procedures. She says: 'It's mental but that's the tax I pay for the life I've put myself into.'

Olivia Attwood gasps in shock as woman who spent £250k on plastic surgery reveals what she looked like BEFORE extreme human Barbie transformation
Olivia Attwood gasped in shock as a woman who spent £250,000 on plastic surgery revealed what she looked like before her extreme human Barbie transformation. The TV personality and former Love Island contestant, 34, returned last month to host the second series of her ITV documentary Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection. Over the six episodes, the Loose Women panellist meets with patients and doctors to investigate the changing world of science, social media and cosmetic surgery. In each 45-minute episode, she explores a different theme: weight loss, smiles, skin, mummy makeovers, men and people with more than £100,000 total spends. Olivia joins women before, after and during their procedures - and even goes under the knife herself to try out some of the wackiest treatments. One particularly shocking moment sees her meet with a woman named Alicia, who has spent an eye-watering more than £250,000 on cosmetic surgery. The TV personality and former Love Island contestant, 34, returned last month to host the second series of her ITV documentary Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection (pictured) It has left her with large lips and breasts, a striking look alongside her incredibly long platinum blonde hair and Barbie pink outfit with long nails and large hoop earrings. Olivia looks through a scrapbook of old photos of Alicia, who points out some snaps of her taken when she was around 18 years old, in 2016. Her look nearly ten years ago, before all the procedures, is completely unrecognisable compared to how she looks now. Though her hair was still the same bright blonde shade, she was seen in the pictures wearing much more lowkey clothes than her habitual all-pink look now. Alicia laughs nervously as Olivia gasps, 'Oh. My. God.' The host asks: 'Do you think this girl had any idea how your life would be and how you'd look?' Alicia replies: 'No! To people who really knew me back then, knew what I was like, it wouldn't be a big shock because I've always sort of been quite outgoing and confident and sexual and stuff like that. 'I just needed to find my niche, you know?' As Olivia flips through more pages of the scrapbook, Alicia points out more images at various stages of her transformation. The procedures she has had include breast implants, lip filler and a rhinoplasty. Olivia asks if Alicia has ever gone without other things in her life, so as to be able to spend more money on surgery. 'There's never been anything I didn't do just because I had my plastic surgery', she replies. 'I choose my health and my looks over everything so I spend a lot of money on the stuff I put into my body such as food and that kind of thing. 'And I spend a lot of money on getting the right kind of filler, the best products.' The presenter asks if she thinks she will ever wake up, wanting to look how she used to look - and Alicia is sure about her answer: 'No, this is so much fun! 'I just have such a fun life and I would never want it to change.' The former TOWIE star has previously warned of a 'national issue' when it comes to injectable cosmetic procedures - and the 'dystopian' future of anti-ageing. In an interview with MailOnline last month, Olivia said: 'There are a lot of people injecting a lot of stuff into themselves and when you actually ask the questions about what's in them, they don't have the answer. 'That highlights a national issue which is really important we put a light on. 'At worst, these things are dangerous and at best, it's salt and water that you're injecting and you're basically just washing your money down the drain. 'Either way, people need to be informed about what they are putting in their bodies.' She was speaking in reference to Lemon Bottle Fat Dissolving - an injectable cosmetic treatment which allegedly combines Vitamin B2 and other natural ingredients to accelerate the metabolism of fat cells. The process promises 'minimal swelling and minimal pain' and can cost up to £250 at a clinic. But when asked by Olivia in her ITV documentary, several professionals did not truly know what was in bottles. She said: 'It was a double-edged sword because I hated the fact [the clinician] couldn't answer the questions because I'm like, "We have to tell this story now", but obviously, it didn't look great.' When asked about Kris Jenner's alleged facelift, which has left fans reeling at her new look, Olivia said: 'I mean, she looks fantastic, it's unbelievable. 'Work is becoming so sophisticated now, so undetectable. 'There are so many things that are happening on the surgery table like facelifts, fat grafting, and stem cells that are literally turning back the clock. 'It's dystopian, it's very exciting to watch the industry develop at such a fast rate and there's no limits to what we'll see in the next ten years in terms of scientific development of anti-ageing procedures.' Olivia is open about her personal cosmetic surgeries, which include veneers, lip filler and Botox. She revealed she does not regret any apart from her first boob job, admitting: 'Went too far, I went too big, also with my lips.' The TV personality has also previously claimed her husband Bradley Dack, 30, would never have dated her before she had a boob job and lip filler. When Olivia (pictured on Loose Women earlier this month) asked Bradley if he would have been keen to date her before her boob job, he replied, 'No', before she pushed him further and he confirmed, 'No' When Olivia asked Bradley if he would have been keen to date her before her boob job, he replied, 'No', before she pushed him further and he confirmed, 'No'. Rather than having an argument over Bradley's confession, Olivia insists that she got a 'big kick' out of him being that upfront because she believes most men are initially drawn to looks over personality. She said: 'I got a big kick out of him being that honest... 'Even though Brad has been a footballer for many years, and he's done my show, he's not PR trained so he is quite off the cuff sometimes... I thought it was cool. 'He's not saying that he would never have loved me but what turned his head the first night we met was the way I looked, some of that is what I was born with and some of it, the blonde hair and my lips, is stuff I wasn't born with. 'As we know, typically, stereotyping here, men are image-based and are drawn to looks, more so than women... 'If I see a really handsome man, I think, "Would he be boring?", but men are turned on by that instant look, it's interesting that Brad was truthful about that. 'We are very secure, he knows me, I am very secure in our relationship. We talk honestly.'
