I’ve got the world’s biggest cheeks after injecting them with fat – I’m unrecognisable in rare pic taken six years ago
A MODEL with the "world's biggest cheeks" looks unrecognisable in a rare photograph snapped six years ago.
Anastasia Pokreshchuk, 33, from Ukraine, used to have a slender face and curly hair back in 2017 before she spent £1,500 on fillers.
She had her first facial injections at 26 and has never looked back, losing count of how many facial procedures she has had.
She has had fillers in her lips, cheeks and in the corners of her mouth, botox in her forehead, as well as having her jaw and chin reshaped.
After spending thousands of the procedures, the 33-year-old has undergone a dramatic transformation.
Fans were floored when Anastasia posted a rare throwback picture on Instagram, showing off her blonde natural curls.

While some couldn't believe it was really her in the photo, others complimented the Ukrainian model - who now has bright pink hair - on her new look.
One wrote: "Is that you? Wow. Beautiful photo, honestly really pretty."
Another commented: "Before she was like everyone else. Now she’s special, with a twist."
A third said: "You are awesome – keep going and don’t stop."
Yet some followers suggested Anastasia has taken her face filler obsession too far – and said they prefer her natural fresh-faced look.
One commented: "How beautiful you were then."
A second wrote: "You used to look even better."
A third said: "Beautiful woman back then. And now a victim of plastic."
But after injecting herself with cheek fillers Anastasia said she "fell in love" with the way they made her look.
"I love them, I want them to look like this and I'm very happy. I regularly inject other parts of my face myself," she previously said.
"I understand that they look weird for other people but I don't mind."
But she admitted she has received hateful messages on social media.
"I've had people tell me I am an ugly b***h and that I should kill myself but when I see it I just laugh it off and ignore it," she said.
In July 2020, Anastasia told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on This Morning that she wouldn't stop injecting herself despite warnings from a despairing doctor.
