'I will not stop': She wanted the world’s biggest lips—but even her doctor refused to go any further

A woman who once looked like the girl next door now claims the title of ‘world’s biggest lips’—but at what cost?
Her extreme cosmetic journey shocked even the doctors she trusted.
And despite warnings of tissue death, she still refuses to stop.
Andrea Ivanova, a 27-year-old woman from Bulgaria, has spent more than £20,000 on lip filler alone since beginning her transformation in 2018.
She recently shared photos of her face before surgery—revealing a striking contrast to her current look, which includes dramatically enlarged lips and cheeks. Image available here.
Andrea underwent multiple cosmetic procedures beyond lip augmentation, including chin shaping, jaw contouring, and cheekbone enhancement—all in pursuit of her bold aesthetic.
‘I like exaggerated things like huge lips, a face with many fillers, heavy and eccentric make-up,’ she said.
The former philosophy student said she was uninterested in natural beauty and deliberately set out to radically change her appearance.
‘I don't like boring ordinary appearances and I am a fan of huge shapes and eccentric beauties,’ she added.
She has become known for pushing the limits of cosmetic enhancement, even admitting to undergoing six procedures in a single day—against her regular doctor’s advice.
‘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,’ Andrea said.
In that session, which took place in Germany after her usual surgeon refused, Andrea said she received injections in multiple areas of her face.
‘Until now, I always did these on different areas of the face on different days,’ she explained.
Her previous maximum had been three procedures in one go, making the leap to six a personal experiment in endurance and transformation.
‘I wanted to experiment with myself to see how many injections and [amounts of filler] would affect my body,’ she said.
Though thrilled with the results, she admitted the pain afterward was intense.
‘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.’
Andrea said this was a normal side effect of the filler not yet settling, but added that the discomfort in her lips was minimal due to the high volume of injections.
‘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,’ she said.
‘The more filler there is, the less the area hurts.’
Despite the pain, Andrea showed no signs of slowing down and even expressed a desire to repeat the multi-procedure sessions.
Her regular doctor continued to voice concerns—but now even her German surgeon has warned her of the risk of necrosis.
‘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,’ she said.
‘But they are afraid I'll get necrosis and have to have the tissue surgically removed from my lips if I carry on.’
Necrosis, a potentially fatal condition, occurs when insufficient blood flow causes body tissue to die, and can result from injury, chemicals or radiation.
Andrea acknowledged the risks, including facial swelling, bruising, inflammation, and raised body temperature—but said recovery would take just a few days.
‘You shouldn't judge people for their looks. It's their taste and no one has the right to be offended because of it,’ she said.
‘I think I'm going to carry on doing multiple injections in one day going forward, as it makes me very happy.’
Cosmetic procedures may promise dramatic results, but the risks can be just as extreme—especially when safety is overlooked.
While Andrea chose to undergo her enhancements willingly, not everyone is aware of the dangers lurking behind closed clinic doors.
For another eye-opening example of how beauty treatments can go dangerously wrong, this real-life story is worth a look.
