Shaughna Phillips has revealed what she looked like before having lip filler and a breast lift in a series of throwback snaps on her Instagram page.
The Love Island star, 26, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday and asked her followers to request photos from different stages of her life, as she joined in a current social media trend.
One person asked to see what she looked like as a teenager, and Shaughna shared a picture of her pre lip fillers, alongside the caption: ‘Wow when lip filler didn’t exist!’

The photo comes after Shaughna admitted she was ‘killing herself’ doing workouts six times a week and felt like the token ‘fat girl’.
She said: ‘I’d be going to the gym six times a week, and even though I got down to 9st 6lb and a size six on the top half, my legs would stay at a size 14.’

The star said that water retention from the flight and the heat caused her legs to swell so much she couldn’t put her shoes on and she was worried about what she looked like.
It was only when Shaughna left the show that she was diagnosed with lipoedema, an abnormal accumulation of fat in the legs.
She said she would get constant bruising on her legs, and they would be so painful but she had no idea what it was.
Shaughna added: ‘When I came off the show I had all these messages asking if I had been diagnosed with lipoedema…
The results! She had two litres of fat drained from her legs and while it will take six months for the swelling to go down, Shaughna revealed she’s gone from a trouser size 14 to 10 and showed off the results on The Full Monty On Ice on Tuesday
‘It’s scary to think that had I not found out about my condition, and intervened when I did, I would’ve just been getting progressively worse, and in pain as well.’
She even admitted she blocked the word ‘legs’ from appearing on her social media before entering Love Island due to her fear of being trolled for the size of her calves.
Shaughna paid for private liposuction to shrink her legs in October as the procedure is not available on the NHS.
She had two litres of fat drained from her calves and revealed the results when she appeared on The Real Full Monty On Ice.
While recovery can take up to six months, Shaughna has already dropped from a trouser size 14 to a size 10.
Now feeling much more confident about her shape, Shaughna said that she is so relieved she got the right treatment for her.
She said that when she was rehearsing for The Full Monty, she had blood dripping down her legs following the procedure.
Surgery: The reality star, 26, was diagnosed with lipoedema – an abnormal build-up of fat in the legs- earlier this year and recently had liposuction to combat the condition
But she said she’s happy to talk about what she’s had done, because she’s ‘not ashamed or embarrassed’.
She previously told MailOnline: ‘I paid for all of my surgery; I haven’t done any ad or collaboration. Anything I put up now is the wholehearted truth – I didn’t want to sugarcoat anything for anyone that might be thinking about getting surgery.
‘I’ve been offered gifted surgery since I came out the villa and you kind of think – I’m in the position now where I can pay for it.
‘I don’t want to advertise surgery to women that could get themselves in debt for something I got for free.
‘It is completely different to changing your hair colour. It sounds a bit over the top but surgery can be life or death.’
Shaughna appeared on the show in memory of her father Eddie who sadly died four years ago.
The black cab driver died aged 50 following an 18-month battle with pancreatic cancer.
