After splashing out $16,000 enhancing her breasts, Jessika Power is now showing off the results.

The Married At First Sight alumnus shared a series of painful-looking before and after photos of her procedure on Instagram, which involved taking "stubborn" fat from her thighs and injecting it into her bust.

Though she's thrilled with the "fullness" she's achieved after going from a B to a D cup, the photos of the procedure show her chest covered in bruises.

But Jess insists the procedure was "worth it", telling news.com.au it looks worse than it was.

"I know it looks sore, but it's just normal bruising from having a needle injected," she said.

"I bruise easily as I'm anaemic. However, my legs are still slightly bruised to this day."

The former MAFS star underwent surgery with Sydney based surgeon Dr Rastogi back in June, telling her 214,000 Instagram followers it didn't hurt at all.

"I think with any kind of surgery you're going to have a little bit of downtime with healing. I did have a little bit of bruising, but yeah, it was fine," she said in a Q&A session yesterday.

"I definitely feel like it was worth the money, I didn't want to have silicone boobs, not that there's anything wrong with that, I just didn't want it for myself. I had the smallest little bit of unwanted fat on my thighs, so two birds one stone."

However, there have been major side effects, such as not being able to run because the exercise leaves her in pain.

MAFS star defends 'disgusting' post

"I still find that I can't run like I normally would. Jolting hurts the side of my thighs. My boobs recovered really fast," she said.

HAPPY WITH SURGERY RESULTS

Previously, Jess told news.com.au she was happy with the results of the surgery, describing her new assets as "perky" and "natural".

"I went up two sizes from a B cup to a D cup, I'm really happy with the results," she said at the time.

She also revealed how the idea came about when she saw her surgeon to discuss having fat from her thighs removed.

"He was the one who said, 'You know, we're going to throw this fat in the bin, why don't I inject it into your breasts?'" Jess revealed.

BRUTAL BRUISING

Despite the surgery only requiring day admission into the clinic, photos of Jessika crashing a Logies afterparty with her thighs covered in bruises first showed the harsh effect it had on her body.

"I did have some bruising on the inner and outer of my thighs, and it was quite tender for two weeks," she explained.

A busty selfie on her Instagram account also had fans concerned over the marks on her body.

"Why all the bruises?" a concerned follower asked.

CONFIDENCE BOOST

Jessika decided to have her bust boosted after losing "fullness" and weight from taking up F45. She said her public breakup with Dan Webb contributed to her transformation, causing her to shed 5kg and invest in her appearance.

But it also had an unexpected benefit.

"I didn't expect it to boost my confidence, but it definitely has, I feel a lot sexier. They're not too big, they're still perky, but I feel a lot more confident and a lot more of a woman," she said.

POST-BREAKUP SURGERY SPLURGE

Before appearing on the popular reality TV show, Jess' face had already been enhanced by a full set of veneers and lip filler. In total she's spent more than $50,000 on enhancing her features since filming wrapped.

She spent $25,000 in May having her porcelain teeth replaced after being "ridiculed" about them for being "blocky" โ€” a tactic her previous dentist used to hide the fact she was born missing two teeth.

"You can imagine my horror when I was ridiculed about them on the show," she said.

To have her new teeth, Jessika's original lip fillers were dissolved. Once her sparkly new veneers were in, she had her lips redone too.

๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ•Š if youโ€™re insulting people on the Internet, you must be ugly on the inside. Cyber bullying is bullying ๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ hiding behind a pretty screen doesnโ€™t make it any less hateful. Unless and until our society recognizes cyber bullying for what it is, the suffering of thousands of silent victims will continue! Cyber bullies can hide behind a mask of anonymity online and do not need direct physical access to their victims to do unimaginable harm. I have suffered immensely since MAFS and itโ€™s left me rattled knowing this is the kind of abuse people can throw around. I have always maintained a thick skin and thankfully, havenโ€™t allowed the words to hurt me but what about the next person who isnโ€™t as mentally strong to deal with it? Not all forms of abuse leave bruises and cyber bullying kills. Iโ€™ll be partnering up soon with a charity to help raise awareness for this very serious social issue ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ•Š #awareness #cyberbullying #makeadifference #lashes @lashxtend #happy #confidence

She spent a further $9000 having a brow lift, filler injected into her cheeks and the "smallest amount of Botox". Not to mention hair extensions and dying her signature blonde locks a playful pink.

"I had a brow lift recently because on the show I had quite bad bags. I also noticed on the show my cheeks looked shallow, which is why I had cheek filler in โ€” it has plumped my face out and made it look fuller. I feel like I look healthier," she told news.com.au recently.

"But that's all I've had done โ€” that's it. And everyone's like, 'It's fake, it's fake, it's plastic', which is annoying."

DEFENDING HER APPEARANCE

The 27-year-old gets extremely "annoyed" by people who credit her good looks to surgery.

"I've always been told I look fake, even prior to having anything done. And without sort of blowing my own horn, it's just because I am a pretty girl, people are calling me fake and putting my beauty down to procedures," she said.

"But I've had the smallest amount done. It's not like I've stuffed my face full of Botox. I can still frown, I can still move my face, so I'm not full fake โ€” and it confuses me.

"I feel like any cosmetic procedure, even changing your hair colour, is a personal decision. I do things to make myself feel good."

And in regards to the cruel comments she receives, she takes them all in her stride โ€” revealing that replying humorously to the nasty comments usually shuts them down.

"I think people love to put me down and hate on me, but I don't let it get to me," she said.
