Surgery Transformed My Face Into An Instagram Filter | HOOKED ON THE LOOK

SOCIAL media has inspired one influencer to transform his facial appearance in an effort to recreate the look of Instagram photo filters. Levi Jed Murphy recently underwent a lip lift, temporal brow lift, and Canthoplasty to alter the shape of his eyes and bring him closer to the ideal Instagram look he covets. Originally from Norwich, the young social media star moved to London to be with his boyfriend last year and has recently unveiled his new look to his hundreds of thousands of followers. The 23-year-old, who also gets fillers regularly and previously had Rhinoplasty, told Barcroft TV: “Instagram had a filter that made your face look like plastic surgery. When you’re about to take a picture and the filter comes off and you see the actual face, it’s kind of busted. The filter lifted up your eyes and your lip, so I thought ‘this is literally an eye lift and lip lift’ and I got an eye lift and lip lift. I decided to get the surgery because I just have a lot of insecurities all the time. So I think if I can fix that, I might as well.” Levi says all his procedures have been worth it and he has a list of further surgeries he wants in the future, including a Brazilian butt-lift, a second nose, and fat pads in his cheeks to make his fillers more permanent. "I wouldn't necessarily say I'm addicted to surgery because I definitely could stop,” he said. “I just enjoy getting surgery and like the results.” After getting his facial surgery, Levi recently returned to Norwich to show his mum, Tracey, for the first time. She said: “The surgery Levi’s had to change his eyes, I was not happy with at all because I didn't think he needed that, and I still think he's mad for having it done. “I'd rather Levi didn't get any more surgery to be honest. But he's got his own mind so if he wants it done he'll have it done.”
