When it comes to plastic surgery, Love Island Australia contestant Jessie Wynter is about as transparent as it gets. The 25-year-old currently bombshelling her way through Love Island UK’s current season has spoken several times about her multiple boob jobs and nose surgery for a deviated septum, but most notably she’s focused on how much she regrets getting surgery if it means others will be influenced to do the same.
She may not be happy then that this week ‘Love Island Australia Jessie before surgery’ is a trending search term on Google, up 70%. With countless articles about Jessie Wynter’s pre-Love Island ‘transformation’ now circulating online, it seems the public are eager to compare her looks before and after cosmetic surgery.
The same happened with Tanyel Revan the first week she entered the villa, with searches for her plastic surgery making up 14 of the top 20 searches about the star. It’s a common theme on Love Island, with many then turning to social media to troll female contestants for not being ‘natural’. We’ve seen it year after year, with Faye Winter, Meghan Barton Hanson, and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu all experiencing the same backlash on their seasons.
It certainly sounds like potential trolling could impact Jessie, with the star saying she’s considered getting her impacts removed a lot and hopes people don’t judge her for it.
‘I did get a boob job when I was younger, and it was one of those nightmare ones that didn't go to plan,’ she said on Instagram before entering the villa. ‘I fortunately got it fixed. I've had a really great year actually, getting it fixed was fantastic. I hope people don't call me fake and they can see past it.'
While Jessie was happy with her second boob job, in 2019 she opened up about the previous botched procedure to Who magazine and regretting getting surgery at all. ‘I honestly wish I could go back and tell younger me, "Dude, don't get a boob job, you're fine the way you are,"' the Tasmanian influencer said. ‘They kind of shoved [the implants] in, didn't structure it or anything and they were just really, really far apart. And they pretty much fell into my armpits.'
In 2021, she was again transparent online about her decision to get a nose job for a deviated septum and previous break, saying that she also asked her doctor for a change in shape to her nose. Thankfully, this wasn’t a procedure she regretted having.
‘While I was going under and having my nose cut open, I was like well, whyyy not give me a cute little dip in it,' she explained on Instagram. 'I didn't want to change my nose completely and wanted my face to still look like mine, but my deviated septum and the bump in my nose made me feel extremely insecure about my face and is something I have wanted corrected for so long.'
Her transparency has been well received, but with her previous fears about being judged for her surgery there’s no doubt Jessie wouldn’t take kindly to any trolling around her appearance given how much searches for the star’s ‘transformation’ have spiked. One can only hope that the public move on from the obsession before Jessie comes out of the villa, and that the social media ban for contestants is offering some protection from backlash.
