She’s spent more than £1,500 on surgery to her cheeks.

A model who claims to have the world’s biggest cheeks has shared a picture of herself before she spent thousands of dollars on fillers and cosmetic procedures.

Anastasia Pokreshchuk, from Kiev, Ukraine, has spent more than $2,100 (£1,500) on plastic surgery to give her the protruding cheeks that have made her famous around the globe.

You can see what she looks like below, and safe to say, you spot her in a crowd…

Her distinctive look has led many to wonder what she looked like before she decided splash out on the face-altering work.

Well, wonder no more.

The 32-year-old has shared a post on Instagram on August 9 showing what she looked like before the days of pink hair and protruding cheeks.

On a number of levels, she looks different.

In fact, with the exception of having two eyes, a mouth and a nose in both pics, it’s difficult to find any similarity between her current self and her lesser-cheeked past.

Different colour hair? Check. Different eyebrows? Check. Different lips? Cheek, sorry, check.

Clearly some people like her look though. The post has got almost 17,000 likes, and Pokreshchuk has a huge 270,000 followers on Instagram, with a further 230,000 on TikTok.

The model has previously spoken about her look, and says she loves her appearance.

“After I had the injections and saw the changes in my cheeks, I fell in love with them,” she said. “I understand that they look weird for other people but I don’t mind.”

She says the fillers have boosted her confidence, and that before she decided to get the face wings, she was “ashamed of everything; my voice, my appearance” and she thought she was ugly.

She adds: “My mom thinks that I was naturally beautiful before, but now thinks I look more exotic and my friends say my new appearance is better because before I looked like a grey mouse.”
