It is considered usual in today’s society to undergo ‘tweakments’ such as botox or fillers.
But one woman with ‘the world’s biggest cheeks’ has been compelled to respond to trolls who have made nasty comments about her appearance.
Anastasiia Pokreshchuk, 36, of Kyiv, Ukraine, has faced criticism for the amount of filler she has used, with some claiming she ‘looks like an extraterrestrial.’
Pokreshchuk became a viral celebrity after undergoing many surgeries and filler treatments to obtain her ideal appearance.
The model has undergone a variety of treatments, including a breast job, lip filler, and botox.
Although she claims she is secure in her skin and ‘feels incredibly gorgeous’, she has spoken out about the online criticism she has experienced since making the radical changes to her face.
Pokreshchuk, who has documented her metamorphosis on Instagram, seemed to have had enough of the negativity and took to social media to respond to a comment stating that ‘nobody would find her attractive’.
She snapped back at the comment with an insightful response, writing: “I don’t understand this kind of thinking at all. I don’t understand how I can think about my appearance based on what others say.
“I don’t care what others say because this is my face and I have to like it, not you. This is my face and my life.”
She followed up the comment by adding that the most important thing is that she’s happy in herself, adding: “You will not live my life for me, okay?”
The model revealed that she started forking out for procedures when she was just 26-years-old, and that she’s spent ‘thousands upon thousands’ on her look.
In an interview on This Morning two years ago, the model went head-to-head with a plastic surgeon on whether she had gone too far.
When asked if she was happy with her look, she responded: “Yes, I’m very happy. I look at my pictures from years ago and I think that I’m ugly. I didn’t like how I looked, but you can change it no problem. I didn’t like my face, I looked like a hamster.”
Dr. Harris also added to the conversation and claimed there was a ‘danger’ around modern beauty standards.
He said: “I’m talking about distortion and over-treatment. In my opinion, she looks to be over-treated.
“Looking at her professionally, I would say she looks distorted. It becomes too much when the look becomes exaggerated, we need to consider the risks.”
When asked if a doctor had advised that she stopped her procedures, she replied: “No, the people who do my work, they know me well. They know I’m a normal person. They know I’m not crazy or stupid.”
