However, during one of the procedures, the surgeon came across something unusual.
They reportedly discovered shoe rubber, which seemed to have been ‘shoved’ in her chin, as reported by Need To Know.
In her Instagram stories, Epa revealed that the rubber was a result of a previous surgery.
She said: “They had to break the bone and make a pretty big suture, so I’m now super swollen.”
In addition to chin surgery, she underwent rhinoplasty after a previous op had left her nostrils partially blocked, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Taking advantage of her time in the operating room Epa, from Bogotá, Colombia, also decided to have work done on her breasts.
Despite the criticism she has since received on social media, she has remained strong.
In another story, she explained that the recovery process will take time and the changes will be more noticeable when the inflammation disappears in approximately a month and a half.
In one video posted to Instagram, she can be seen lying in bed as she speaks to the camera.
Visually, she has bandages around her nose and mouth and seems to have just come out of surgery.
The video has gathered over 77,000 likes, as well as thousands of comments from shocked users.
Someone wrote: “But what a madness… if her nose was perfect.”
Ruby commented: “She didn’t need these operations she should take care of her life with such a small bb.”
Leo added: “The jet got disfigured.”
Johan posted: “When you no longer know what to spend your money on.”
