Kurt Coleman says he regrets getting lip fillers when he was 18.
The social media star, 26, said he had several cosmetic procedures when he was a teenager because those around him told him to do so.
In a YouTube video, Kurt admitted he lost sight of who he was after plumping up his lips at such a young age.
He showed his followers a photo of himself and said: “I was losing who I was. I went and got so many lip fillers that I’m going to show you this picture I uploaded the other day because I couldn’t believe it.
“Obviously it’s really bad. At that time, I remember looking in the mirror and thinking, “I don’t even know myself anymore, that’s not me.”
Kurt Coleman has candidly revealed how much he regrets getting lip fillers when he was 18, saying he felt like he “lost” who he was after the intervention and said it was “100% natural now.”
“I didn’t feel like myself and that was kind of the time in 2015 where I started to not feel like myself and I didn’t know what I wanted. Basically, I was just this one thing for everyone.
Kurt insisted he’s not against lip fillers, but he personally regrets buying them “so young” and said he’s “proud to be 100% natural now “.
“I looked so weird. and this was from adults telling me that I should do all this work to my face. I’m so proud to be 100% natural now,” he said.
“I’m 100% natural now. Honestly, it’s something I regret doing so young. There’s nothing against filler, it’s just that it made me not feel like ‘me’ anymore.’
In another Instagram post, Kurt urged his followers to ignore the pressure to look a certain way.
“I have come a long way since then mentally and physically and I will never have anything done to my face again. I love myself,” he said.
He showed his followers a photo of himself with lip fillers (seen above) and said: I remember looking in the mirror thinking ‘I don’t even know myself anymore, It is not me”.
“Don’t think you have to change your face for anyone unless you really want to. Being healthy and strong is the most important to me now and that’s what made me love myself from the inside out.
Kurt got sober two years ago and said he’s the “happiest” he’s ever been.
The influencer was hospitalized after drinking a single glass of wine which led doctors to discover he was suffering from pancreatitis.
“So many people made fun of me when I had obviously lost who I was and was really lost for a while,” he wrote on Facebook in February last year.
“Especially the comments on that photo on the left – over 500 of them where everyone was making fun of my appearance. I didn’t think it was funny at the time.
He admitted that he agreed he didn’t “look like himself” but said he ended up “getting sick shortly after” and said he was now “the “the most myself I’ve ever felt.”
