I was on Love Island and trolled over my ‘fake looks’ – but I got disgusting surprise when I tried to ditch my fillers | The Sun
CHECKING her emails in the morning, Dr Nyla Raja notices a strange, sinister pattern.
Between 9pm and 11pm each night, demands for consultations spike, with thousands of young women across the country desperate to get the plumped-up ‘Love Island look’.
As demand for treatments like Botox and filler hits record levels, Britain’s leading plastic surgeons have blasted young people for “losing the plot” in a landmark intervention.
Last year the British College of Aesthetic Medicine performed 282,960 filler procedures – a shocking rise of 100 per cent on the previous 12 months.
Alongside this, a growing trend suggests many who do get fillers are having them reversed – including by regretful Islanders themselves.
One surgeon has warned The Sun that Britain risks becoming the “laughing stock of the world” – while a former star of the ITV2 show tells of the grim reality of chasing the ‘perfect’ reality star image.

Dr Raja, a top cosmetic surgeon who has previously treated Abbey Clancy and Mel B, says: “When I hold a consultation with the new patients, they reference a contestant from the show’s look.
“If I see patients requesting procedures they don’t need, or altering their natural beauty to look like what they see on social media or TV, it’s heartbreaking.”
The 'Love Island effect'
One devotee of the Love Island look was Sharon Gaffka, who appeared on the show two years ago and fell out with fellow contestant Hugo Hammond in a row over ‘fake looks’.
The 27-year-old, who first had lip fillers five years ago, tells The Sun: “If I had my time again I wouldn't have anything done on my face.
