She made headlines after undergoing the controversial ‘Barbie Waist’ surgery in Bali two months ago.
And Australian influencer Matilda Baxter, 21, has now shocked fans again, this time by revealing how different she looked three years ago.
Matilda, who goes by the online nickname Tilds Search, posted a throwback video on Instagram Stories on Monday of herself posing in a skimpy pink mini dress in 2023.
She contrasted this with a recent video where she walked around and showed off her tiny waist.
In this video, a visibly slimmer and more bronzed Tilds showed off her newly acquired hourglass figure in a pink sequined crop top, matching skirt and post-op corset.
The 2026 clip shows Tilds with sleeker hair and makeup look, while her lips and cheekbones appear more prominent – possibly due to the use of dermal fillers.

In the caption, she wrote, “Anyone who says 2023 was better clearly can’t afford the 2026 version of me. Get well soon.’
Tilds has generated a lot of concern in the weeks since her rib contouring procedure.
Late last month, she raised eyebrows after uploading a video of herself wearing lingerie while showing off her new figure.
‘It looks insane. Not edited. Waist where?’ she said.
Followers flocked to the comments on her video to express their concerns about Tilds’ slimmed-down frame.
“All I see are the bones,” one person wrote, while another added: “Omg I remember looking like this. I was so sick.’
“Please eat more, your ribs are driving me crazy,” said a third.
‘I’m not here to judge negatively, but more proteins and carbohydrates are needed. Stay safe and take care of your health, folks,” someone else commented.

Another critic lashed out at Tilds, accusing her of promoting unrealistic body standards for young women.
“This is shameful, to paint an image and encourage other young girls or women to think it is normal to look like this,” they said.
However, many fans came to Tilds’ defense, praising her new look and saying people shouldn’t judge her for the choices she makes about her own body.
‘Comments are NOT comments. This woman is educated and makes her own informed choices. She’s transparent AF! Don’t like it? Keep going!’ wrote one.
“You look so beautiful you should be a top model, Victoria’s Secret!” another commented.
“Tilds, ‘Incomparably beautiful’ will never be an overused or misunderstood descriptor when it comes to you,” said a third.
“Girl, you’re starting to look unreal,” someone else complimented.
