Our world is increasingly becoming a place where more and more people are turning to plastic surgery. While some choose small procedures to enhance their appearance, others undergo more drastic transformations.

Anastasia Pokreschchuk, a 36-year-old woman from Kyiv, Ukraine, is one such person who has undergone significant plastic surgery. She has had fillers injected into her cheeks and chin to improve their appearance, breast augmentation, Botox, and a Brazilian butt lift. With 628,000 followers on Instagram, many of them are familiar with her post-surgery look, but few have seen her before the procedures.

In a surprising move, Anastasia shared a photo of herself before starting her surgeries at the age of 26. She pointed out that her face didn’t have any hyaluronic acid fillers back then, showing a noticeable difference between her current and past appearance.

Many people complimented her on her natural beauty before the surgeries and encouraged her to live her life as she chose. They reassured her that if the changes made her happy, she should embrace them.

However, some critics told her that no one would find her beautiful anymore after all the procedures. In response, Anastasia firmly stated, “I don’t understand how anyone can think that way. I don’t care about how I look based on what others say. What others think doesn’t matter; this is my face, and I have to like it, not you.” She added, “This is my life and my face. You won’t live my life for me.”

Anastasia openly expresses how content she is with her new look, admitting, “I think I’m ugly when I look at pictures from years ago. I didn’t like how I looked, but it’s easy to change. My face used to make me look like a hamster, and I didn’t like it.”

She also emphasized that she is surrounded by supportive people who don’t judge her. “I don’t care what others think of me either. My friends never think badly of me,” she said. “My mom used to say I was pretty, but now she calls me ‘exotic.’ She’s my best friend and the most supportive person I could ask for.”
