Kristina Rei, who is 22, from St Petersberg, Russia, has spent more than $6000 on the injections as she hated how thin her lips were, The Sun reported.
“I think I look fantastic and it makes me happy,” said Rei.
“Sometimes strangers shout names at me in the street — like big lips – but I don’t care. I want to go more extreme. I want to look like a cartoon character.
“I am addicted to it – I love it.”
Rei said she has wanted to have her lips since she was four when she saw comestic surgery enhancements on TV. She got her first injection at 17.
“My big lips have helped boost my confidence – even my parents are happy for me,” Rei said. “They really don’t care about my appearance. Some of my friends have told me I shouldn’t go any bigger, but I’m not satisfied yet.”
Rei said that while childhood teasing over her looks might have sown the seeds for her to get plastic surgery, she’s comfortable in her own skin, lips included.
“I know some people think I look ridiculous but I don’t care,” Rei said. “Sometimes I like the attention I get, like when people try to film me on their mobile phones. Some of the abuse has been hurtful … but those people are idiots.”
Rei said that “other than the way I look, my lips haven’t had a big impact on my life, so I’m definitely not going to stop now,” adding she feels her lips are “definitely too small at the moment.”
Beyond the lips, Rei says, she wants to have a few more body parts modified to her liking.
“When I can afford it, I want to enlarge my breasts from a C-cup to a DD, change the shape of my nose and … make my ears pointed like an elf.
“It’s good to be different.”
