In a now deleted clip, she explained the hypothetical tweaks she would make to Natalia’s face.

The 28-year-old’s list included lip filler, chin filler, botox and a brow lift.

Speaking confidently, Miranda suggested botox to “help slim the face”, a brow lift to “help open up her eyes," and chin filler “to make her face more of a heart shape.”

She then unveiled a shocking photoshopped image of Natalia Dyer with the mentioned enhancement, alongside a current photo.

Stranger Things fans were outraged by the suggestions and the altered photo, as Natalia looked almost unrecognisable.

Following the backlash, Miranda deleted the viral video and uploaded an apology.

Miranda said: “I didn’t mean to offend anyone including Natalia. I was simply just offering suggestions, not on what you have to do just what the possibilities are.

“As an advanced injector that’s what we do. We look at faces, we access and look at the possibilities. Not on what you need to do or what you have to do. They are simply just options.”

She called Natalia “absolutely stunning”, before continuing the video by explaining how she would use cosmetic procedures to alter her own face.

Miranda has turned off comments on her videos, however outraged social media users have commented to slam her suggestions on Twitter.

One person wrote: “i can’t believe a tiktoker plastic surgeon had the audacity to say natalia dyer is not pretty enough as she is like HAVE YOU SEEN HER? she’s perfect to me.”

Another said: “First of all she has the cutest little face ever! and why would anyone think this is ok ? She’s perfect the way she is 💕social media is a scary place sometimes #StrangerThings #NataliaDyer”

A third added: “That weirdo lady who gave "suggestions" on Natalia Dyer’s face really put up a video doing the same thing to HERSELF as an "apology". But what is much more concerning is that prior to this incident her videos regularly get 10s of thousands of views”
