Amira Evans was 22 when she had her first cosmetic operation. A labiaplasty, a surgery that reshapes or reduces the labia. “I just didn’t really like how I looked down there,” she said.
Four years on, Evans, 26, is a content creator from Bristol with more than one million Instagram followers. She says she has spent over £15,000 on procedures in pursuit of what she calls the “perfect body.” She also calls it the smartest business decision she has made.
After the labiaplasty came breast augmentation, which took her from an A-cup to an F-cup, then a Brazilian Butt Lift and other cosmetic work. Evans says the investment in her looks let her build a successful career.
She described the first operation as being about comfort as much as confidence. “Before I had it done, I wasn’t comfortable wearing certain clothing, and it actually caused me a lot of discomfort,” she said. “So, that was a very quick surgery that made a hell of a difference.”
Before any of it, she said, she felt neither confident nor attractive. “I was slim with no boobs, no bum and no hips, so definitely not confident.”
Still comparing
Asked whether she now feels comfortable in her own skin, Evans answered yes, with a qualification. “I’m constantly comparing myself to other creators, and I see myself differently to how a lot of people see me,” she said. There is always something she could do, or isn’t completely happy with. What makes her most confident now, she said, is what is inside. “I know I’m a good person, and I know I’ll have a lot more to offer than just how I look on the outside.”
She is not finished. Evans plans two more procedures this year to “maintain her appearance.” She has the money and wants to do it, so her attitude is “why not?” As long as the surgery is safe, she says, it is up to the individual.
Online, the reaction is mixed. She gets compliments in person and on the internet, and a share of troll and hate comments, which she finds “funny more than anything.” She says she is more confident than she was when she was underweight and had not had surgery.
Her stated goal is to be healthy first, then to stand out from other creators and keep how she looks. “But ultimately, to keep a healthy body and healthy mind.”
Another woman has previously said she spent around £90,000 on changing her appearance.
