Love Island stars before surgery exposed - and they look like totally different people

With their perfect teeth, tans and toned bodies, the Love Islanders are probably the most picture-perfect cast on TV.

But while they're all blessed in the looks department, some are no stranger to the surgeon's table.

So as Maura Higgins strips off the tan and make-up to reveal her natural beauty, here's a look at what some of the other Islanders looked like before they started tweaking...

Amy Hart

For her 21st birthday, 2019 star Amy's grandparents Dee and Harry loaned her £7,000 for a boob job.

"I'd always wanted my boobs done. I grew up in the era of Katie Price . I hated how I looked in clothes," she told The Mirror of her decision to go from a 34A to a DD.

She also got her blonde hair extensions put back in and splashed out £13,000 on a full set of veneers when she was 17, costing around £650 per tooth.

But Amy said it's the best decision she's ever made.

"I've got 20 veneers, but they need redoing. I had gappy teeth as a child because I had braces," she continued.

"My mum had bad teeth her whole life so she let me have them.

"Everything I've done in my life - my job, pageants and applying for this - I would never have done if I hadn't had my teeth done.

"Your smile is the first thing people see about you. The best thing I've had done is my teeth."

Laura had a boob job when she was just 19, going up to a whopping 32E.

The 2018 runner up has also had botox and says her boobs are in desperate need of an upgrade.

"I have fake boobs. They’re very old. They’re, like, ten years old," she said.

"My mum and my friends keep telling me I need to get my boobs redone."

Ellie Brown

Before entering the villa, 2018 Islander Ellie reportedly asked her surgeon to "help her look her best" - at a cost of £7,000.

And Dr Tijion Esho, who carried out the makeover, said had a nose job along with dermal filler in her lips and cheekbones.

“Ellie’s nose is now much more streamline and narrowed at the bridge with a mild lift at the nasal tip," he told Her magazine.

“Ellie’s lips are more defined and lifted in volume in the absence of any makeup. Results are natural as treatment has been small but progressive in stages."

He added, “Ellie’s cheek bones are more defined and angular by the use of dermal fillers with a cannula technique.”

Harley Brash

Ellie's best mate Harley took part in the 2019 series and has undergone a transformation to rival her pal's.

While there's no evidence that she's actually been under the knife, old pictures of Harley show a brown-haired girl with much slimmer lips and less defined cheeks.

Maura Higgins

In Maura's early modelling shots she's got smaller boobs, a flatter bum and thinner lips.

She claimed to have dropped several pounds by following a six-week transformation programme, and some suspected she'd also had butt implants put in.

But Maura's mum has denied she's had surgery, insisting, "She's 28 now. She has matured. She never got plastic surgery ever.

"The only thing she ever got done - and she never hid it, she had it up on her own Instagram - was she got some lip filler. Because she had quite thin lips."

Megan Barton-Hanson

Love Island 2018's Megan had a boob job and a nose job when she was just 19 in the hope it would give her more confidence.

She's also believed to have had lip fillers, a bum lift, botox, chin and jaw line surgery, cheek fillers and veneers at an estimated cost of £25,000 - apparently paid mainly by her dad.

And a source claimed to heat magazine that she's even had surgery on her vagina.

"I remember when she booked the time off work for it and told our boss what she was having done. We were all in shock to be honest," the insider said.

The sporty teenager transformer her look before entering Love Island 2017 .

She started with a boob job at 19 and got heavily into the botox and fillers, admitting her goal is to have a face that "doesn't move".

But earlier this year she had her fake boobs removed and her lip-filler dissolved, but only so she could start again.

"I’ve been having lip fillers for years, probably five or six years," she said on Instagram.

"That lip has started to come out of the lip line and started to look really puffy - something I never wanted, so I’m actually excited to start again fresh. It looks better than it did because it was over-filled."
