A Bulgarian lady underwent a total of fifteen surgeries over a period of time to get her lips three times the size they naturally were.
The 22-year-old now says she’s happier than ever.
Andrea Emilova Ivanova, a resident of Sofia, Bulgaria, said she always wanted to have bigger and more prominent lips. Now that she’s an adult and has got the lips of her liking, Andrea thinks all the lucrative amounts she spent on the procedures are now justified.
Andrea, a student of German Philosophy at Sofia University Saint Kliment, Ohridski, said she had to visit a lot of clinics to get the procedure and each treatment she got cost her around $170.
Proud of her ‘new’ set of lips, Andrea said: “I like my lips now, more than before and I feel very good and very happy with my new lips, because according to me with bigger lips I look prettier and in Bulgaria this is fashion now.
“I have visited almost all clinics for aesthetic procedures in Sofia and I put in my lips almost all kinds of lips fillers.
“I didn’t count the money for these procedures, I don’t know exactly how much money have I spent on my lips, but one milliliter of hyaluronic acid is a standard 300 Lev in Bulgaria ($170).”
The ‘new and improved’ lips are giving Andrea a lot of popularity on social media, and she’s amassed above 15,000 followers on Instagram.
Andrea says she has received a number of compliments and encouraging comments about her new look.
She has also encountered haters on the social media platforms but she’s mature enough not to bother the negative comments.
“There are people who like me with bigger lips and there are people who like me with smaller lips,” Andrea said. “But it doesn’t matter to me, because it’s important for me how I like it.
“Other’s people opinion is irrelevant.
“Each person’s lips are different, and each person has an individual restriction on enlargement, how many milliliters of filler can the lips endure.
“I can’t give any indication of how big is too big, or can lips be too big, because for each person: ‘big’, ‘bigger’ and ‘too big’ are different concepts.
“I’m broad-minded and I think people should be free to choose, which one is for them big, bigger or too big. There are no boundaries for me.”
Andrea maintains she has no addiction to filters and says her style is her own and she does not copy any celebrity.
Upon being asked whether she likes to get the biggest lips in the world, Andrea replied: “Yes, why not? But in my country the big lips are fashionable and there are many girls with fillers in the lips too.
“And for the biggest lips in the world I think I still have competition.”
Andrea wants to inspire people and encourage them to do what they like, regardless of peer pressure or society’s criticism.
She talked about this, saying: “I’m glad that the universe gave me the chance many people to see me and to know that I exist and I want to tell people: Be happy and do what you like, don’t let others restrict your choice.
“Each of us must follow our heart and our goals without being influenced by other’s opinions. The world needs change from a new, free and unlimited thinking to a lot of art, happiness and kindness.
“We are the creators of the present. If each of us is satisfied, then the entire planet will be harmonized.”
