Love Island bombshell shows off bruised swollen face after ‘fox eye’ surgery and reveals she ‘struggling to see’
LOVE Island’s Mollie Salmon has revealed her bruised, swollen face after undergoing controversial ‘fox eye’ surgery.
The 24 year-old blonde took to social media to show the early results of her op and admitted she is “struggling to see” in the aftermath.
Mollie, who appeared on the 2022 series of Love Island, wrote on instagram: “Surgery update: My surgery went well and @monocosmeticsurgery have done a wonderful job looking after me with the help of my best friend @holliebayles, I truly couldn’t have done this without her.
“I am very swollen and am struggling to currently see out of my eyes as that’s where the surgery was so I just wanted to let you all know I’m not ignoring anyone, however thank you for all the lovely messages.”
She then shared a snap of her bandaged, swollen face and put a trigger warning up first in case it disturbed any of her followers.
The snap was zoomed in on her swollen right eye, which featured bandages around it.
Her upper eyelid was red, while the area under her eye was also red and inflamed.
She penned a caption to reassure fans she wouldn’t look like this for long.
Mollie wrote: “I promised I’d take you all along on this journey with me. This is my current healing process. My bruising and swelling will go down after a few days. The procedure I had was fox eyes.”
Back in February, the reality star revealed she would be having the controversial op.
Celebrities like Danielle Lloyd, Katie Price and Chloe Ferry have all had the lift done in the past – but some experts warn it can lead to nasty side effects such as infection and scarring.
Mollie wrote: “This is something I’ve contemplated for a very long time. And I’ve done my research to find somewhere in which I love their results.”
She then promoted the clinic and said followers could get 20 per cent off their own procedures by using her promo code.
“This has been something I’ve been sceptical about talking about surgery on my page, however, I always want to be honest with you guys,” she continued. “I’ll be documenting my journey for you all.”
