Andrea Ivanova claims to have the ‘biggest lips in the world’.

Since beginning her transformation journey in January 2018, she’s had 32 injections of hyaluronic acid in her lips, leaving people wondering how she manages to eat.

When 28-year-old Andrea recently posted a picture on Instagram of her at a Greek restaurant, she received countless judgemental comments.

‘Can you even eat like this?’ wrote on Instagram user. ‘Is she eating out of a straw?’ questioned another.

Others wondered if she’d had an allergic reaction to the food.

‘Were you allergic to the food?’ user Wendy commented. ‘Try an antihistamine, they help to reduce the swelling,’ suggested another fan.

But Andrea, a former psychology student from Bulgaria, doesn’t have any issues when eating, and isn’t phased by what strangers have to say.

‘I’m told it’s “too much” or that I have a very vulgar, scandalous appearance,’ Andrea says. ‘And that I’m ugly. But I don’t pay attention to their words.

‘I want to be different from everyone else.’

She began making changes to her appearance seven years ago out of a desire to have a unique look.

‘My motive to change externally is because since I was little I always liked eccentric and interesting and different appearences,’ she said on TikTok.

‘I like this artificial beauty and exaggerated things. I don’t like boring, ordinary appearances.’

Andrea has also had 12 injections in her chin, jawline, and cheeks, as well as a breast augmentation. She looks very different from the before pictures she’s shared of herself, back when she hadn’t had any work done.

Her loved ones have struggled with her transformation, though.

‘My friends have no qualms about going out with me, despite my huge lips, and they accept me for who I am,’ she says. ‘They are used to looking at me now with big lips, so are no longer impressed by it all.

‘When I walk down the street and I’m in public places, everyone always stares at me in amazement,’ she said on TikTok. ‘[They make] comments about me, whisper, and discuss me among themselves.

Andrea Ivanova regularly hits the headlines due to her enhanced appearance. The social media influencer, who has spent over ??20,000 on lip filler alone, previously underwent six procedures at once as part of an ???experiment???. Now, in a bid to even her face out, she claims to have been advised by her surgeon to have even more filler ??? this time around her nose. ???My doctor said that it is very important [to have filler] in these areas as if there is none, then over the years, my face will look aged,??? Andrea, aged 26, told What's The Jam. ???As I have a large amount of filler in my lips, as well as in my cheekbones, there is an accumulation of filler on both sides of my face, causing wrinkles. ???Such delicate areas need to be hydrated and injected in order to keep things fresh and young. ???I???m used to this sweet pain and I love the wonderful results afterwards.??? Andrea, who also had her voluptuous lips and sharp cheeks topped up, had noticed her nasolabial wrinkles ???worsening??? prior to the procedure on 2 May 2024. In total, she spent ??437 and despite being happy with the outcome, the former philosophy student, from Bulgaria, had some initial concerns.
