Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague says she is 'terrified' of looking back at old pictures of herself with filler after getting it all dissolved.
The 22-year-old said she didn't even recognise herself by the time she turned 21, after having several cosmetic procedures.
In recent months, the reality star has reversed her look and had her lip and jaw filler dissolved and her composite bonding veneers removed.
Speaking on the Diary Of A CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett, Molly-Mae said: "I wouldn’t say I got addicted to it, but by the age of 21, I didn’t look like the same person.
"I literally looked like a different person. When I look back at pictures now, I’m terrified of myself. I’m like, "Who was that girl?" I don’t know what happened."
She continued: "But there was this one pivotal moment where I’d gone and got loads of filler and I posted a YouTube video and I hadn’t let the filler settle and it was really swollen and a screenshot from that video, it trended on Twitter for weeks.
"It was horrendous. It was utterly horrendous. My face was literally like, it was just awful. That was the moment for me as well where I was like, I think things need to change.
"I thought, one day I’m going to get my lips dissolved. It was a process. I went and got my lips dissolved and I posted about it on YouTube and I didn’t expect the response that I got. It was huge."
Molly-Mae added: "The minute I started to reverse my image and dissolve the filler and dissolve my lips – I actually had a full set of composite bonding on my teeth, I had them removed as well.
"I literally took it to the extreme and I just stripped myself back and weirdly, I felt the prettiest I'd ever felt, once it had all gone.
"I feel like I’d dropped about five years off my age and it was like, it was a really, really significant moment for me.
"I didn’t realise how much respect that would get me. I didn’t do it for respect, I did it for myself. I didn’t do it for anyone else, I did it because I knew that I needed to."
