A WOMAN who is believed to have the ‘world’s biggest cheeks’ has shared rare snaps before her extreme filler.
Anastasia Pokreshchuk, a Ukrainian model who has gained notoriety for her jaw-dropping look, took to social media to upload the throwback snaps, leaving the internet stunned.
The 36-year-old content creator, who has 775,000 followers on Instagram, admitted she looked “different” prior to getting her cheeks plumped as she showed off her once understated appearance.
The influencer, who has spent a decade getting cosmetic procedures and is characterised by her famously large cheeks, lips, a square jawline and pointed chin, shared the ‘before’ pictures and wrote: “Well, very different.”
In one picture, Anastasia scraped her hair off her face to show off her natural beauty.
She dressed casually in jeans and a loose-fitting top, which is a far cry from the revealing outfits you can often see her in today.

Anastasia, who got her first face filler at the age of 26 and has previously admitted that her cheeks “look weird”, shared another snap prior to getting injected, as she confidently showed off her pearly whites for the camera, prior to getting veneers.
Fresh-faced Anastasia wore a smart blouse, donned minimal make-up and effortlessly had her brown locks down and wavy.
Anastasia’s throwback snaps have racked up almost 5,400 likes and hundreds of users have rushed to the comments to share their thoughts.
One said: “You were very beautiful without interventions. Nowadays, few women accept themselves. Very sorry, but you need to find beauty in the way you are.”
Another agreed and penned: “You were such a beautiful woman before you started with all your fillers.”
Whilst a third commented: “Anastasia, I am in no way criticising you but you were a beauty without interference. Appreciate yourself!”
Despite this, others were keen to compliment Anastasia’s current appearance.
One user gushed: “You have always been a beautiful person but now you have become even more beautiful and brighter.”
5 Tweakment Red Flags
Amish Patel, Award-Winning Aesthetics Practitioner, Skincare Expert at Intrigue Cosmetic Clinic shared his 5 red flags with Fabulous.
1. Cheap is not-so-cheerful
If you are searching for ‘cheap Botox’, cheap is often cheap for a reason. Botulinum toxin is a prescription medication, only to be carried out by the medical professional prescribing the drug. Cheap prices mean that corners are being cut.
2. ‘Filler packages’
And always have a consultation BEFORE committing to any treatment. Your face is unique & what suits one face might not suit yours.
3. ‘Botox parties’
If a clinic is offering ‘Botox parties’ avoid: alcohol and partying with friends do not mix with a medical aesthetics procedure.
4. Dirty clinics
Where do they do their treatments? Is it a clean and clinical environment? Hygiene and client safety is paramount. As with all injectables, there is potential for infection in contaminated surroundings.
5. Two-for-one deals
Don’t be tempted by ‘share with a friend’ filler deals. Filler syringes are single-use only; changing the needle does not protect from cross-contamination.
A second wrote: “I really like what you are now. Charming and incredible.”
At the same time, someone else simply penned: “I like it better now.”
Anastasia’s cosmetic journey
Besides her signature cheeks, Anastasia’s transformation also includes veneers, breast implants, tattooed eyebrows and Botox in her forehead.
She has spoken openly about her affection for her look and previously stated that after injecting herself with cheek fillers, she “fell in love” with the result.

But her commitment to her look isn’t new – in 2020, she appeared on ITV‘s This Morning and insisted she would continue her cosmetic procedures despite a doctor’s warnings.
At the time, she proudly said: “I love this look.
“I was like a grey mouse. My nose was too big and now I have big cheeks and big lips, so it looks okay.
“It can be dangerous but I do it with doctors and now I’m learning cosmetology in an online school.”
