Mollie Salmon showed off her new look on Friday after she flew to Turkey for ‘fox eye’ surgery at the start of May.
The former Love Islander, 24, appeared on the 2022 series of the show as a Casa Amor contestant.
She documented her journey of getting the controversial surgery by posting updates to her TikTok account.
Fox-eye surgery means that patients with round eyes will receive a more almond-shaped look.
Mollie’s eyes looked very swollen 24 hours after the surgery on May 8, as she admitted she was ‘struggling to see’, adding that ‘the healing process is a journey.’

However, after a few weeks the influencer looked stunning when she revealed her new eyes, hitting back at comments which said she’d ‘ruined her face’.
Posting once more to her TikTok account, Molly captioned her post: ‘POV: Reading through all my comments saying I’ve ruined my face with fox-eye surgery’ as she debuted her look.
Mollie is known for appearing on the 2022 series of Love Island when she joined the show in Casa Amor.
However her stint in the villa lasted just four days after she failed to couple up before returning to the main villa – despite sharing multiple heated smooches with Davide Sanclimenti, who went on to win the show with girlfriend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
Mollie previously revealed she was ‘struggling to see’ in the first hours after her surgery.
She wrote on her Instagram stories at the start of May: ‘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 all for the lovely messages. I’ll give you all recovering update pictures soon.’
She added: ‘I promised I’d take you all along this journey with my, this is my current healing process, my bruising and swelling will go down after a few days. The procedure I had was fox eyes.’

Owch! Mollie’s eyes looked very swollen and painful after 24 hours
The £500 treatment uses dissolvable stitches to create almond shaped eyes with a lifted brow tail, and is aimed to giving women a lifted brow and upper eye lid lift without the downtime of surgery as it takes just half an hour – and should heal completely in less than two weeks.
Called the fox-eye threadlift, clinics advertise the procedure on social media sites with videos of patients before and after, with the corner of their eyes swept up and back in dramatic fashion.
The looks of American A-list models Bella Hadid and Kim Kardashian’s sister Kendall Jenner are often cited as an inspiration, and in the UK, models Katie Price and Danielle Lloyd have admitted having the treatment.

Danielle had secret eye lift surgery in 2021 after being inspired by the Kardashians, but admitted her husband was furious after she told him.
The former glamour model, 39, opted to have a fox-eye lift and also went under the knife for a thread-lift on her jawline in order to remove loose facial skin and give her face a more defined shape.
Speaking to Closer at the time, Danielle admitted she was keen to make the changes after being told various members of the Kardashian family had undertaken the same procedures.
She explained: ‘Seeing all these gorgeous young girls on Instagram also made me feel insecure and worry about my age – I turn 38 later this year, and the prospect of being 40 worries me.
‘I want to look my best, and this procedure prevents things like jowls and lines, so I thought, “Prevention is better than cure!” I know I’m a little bit obsessed but it makes me feel better.’
However, last year, ex-Big Brother housemate Ryan Ruckledge warned against fox eye facelifts after claiming he was left in hospital with a serious infection following a freebie treatment.
