She said on The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett podcast: ‘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.
‘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.’
The television personality – who is dating boxer Tommy Fury, 22, after they met on Love Island in 2019 – feels more comfortable in her own skin than she ever has done before, confessing she took her fillers to the ‘extreme’.
Spur of the moment: Molly-Mae previously revealed she ‘randomly’ decided to dissolve more of her lip fillers while having laser hair removal – but it left her face feeling numb
She explained: ‘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.’
Before and after (L-R): Posting a video to her YouTube channel back in October 2020 documenting her journey Molly-Mae explained that she had been receiving filler since she was 17 and getting it dissolved was the ‘best decision she’s made in a long time’
Molly-Mae recently took to her Instagram Stories to showcase her transformation as she shared a photo of herself taken at London’s Winter Wonderland in 2019.
She followed it up with a photo taken at the festive event this year after she had her fillers dissolved.
‘Tap to age me two years…’ she wrote alongside the first photo where she wrapped up in a brown woolly jacket while enjoying a box of Churros.
In the second snap, Molly-Mae had more dramatically arched eyebrows while she wore the same jacket along with a white turtle neck top and dark grey jeans.
The influencer has documented her decision to adopt a more natural look, sharing videos explaining the move.
She said: ‘I feel like I’m still definitely going through the process of trying to make everything as natural as I possibly can.
‘Nervous’: At the start of the video, the reality star showed fans what her lips looked like before the dissolving as she admitted she was ‘really nervous’ to head to Leeds for the procedure
‘I made that many mistakes when I was younger I’m genuinely still trying to correct them now.
‘That’s how far I took it a few years back – it’s not just a few appointments to correct that level of mistakes I made.’
The social media star also revealed that she only ‘randomly’ had her fillers dissolved, because she had originally only planned to have laser hair removal.
She said that on top of the hair removal procedure, she had ‘also booked in for a consultation to talk about getting the rest of the filler I feel is still in my face dissolved, and after I decided to just go ahead and get it done today’.
Molly-Mae revealed the results of another filler-dissolving procedure back in October 2020 in a YouTube video.
Word of warning: Molly-Mae previously admitted she regrets getting filler at the tender age of 18, joking it left her looking like she had ‘jowls’
At the start of the video, the reality star showed fans what her lips looked like before the dissolving as she admitted she was ‘really nervous’ to head to Leeds for the procedure.
Molly-Mae said: ‘I remember my lips before filler, there was nothing there. I literally had no lips!
‘Do you notice how unnatural, see how much filler, they feel really hard. It’s just time they went!
Molly-Mae revealed she had around a total of 5ml of filler in her lips and the last time she had been topped up was back in 2019.
Showing the dissolving process being done, the reality star admitted the surgeon had to use a ‘record level amount’ of dissolver.

Last year, Molly-Mae admitted she regrets getting filler at the tender age of 18, joking it left her looking like she had ‘jowls’.
In another YouTube video, Molly-Mae said: ‘I’m so scared for the children that are growing up now. At the age of 18, I felt that I needed to do that.
‘For kids growing up now, they’re going to think it’s the norm.’
Molly-Mae revealed she was cruelly taunted by online trolls about the shape of her jaw, joking it looks like she had ‘jowls’ when she now sees old pictures of herself.
‘In the long run it makes you look worse. I was trying to sharpen this area here’, she said, gesturing to her chin.
‘What it did was make it look bigger. It looked like I had jowls. I had ‘square head’, ‘blockhead’.
‘People called me Quagmire from [Family Guy]. The worst one is that I look like an X-Box controller!’
