Former Big Brother star and influencer Skye Wheatley has shared the real reason why she’s keeping her face under wraps following her recent fox eye lift surgery.
The social media sensation took to Instagram stories on Wednesday to explain to her fans why she has yet to fully reveal her face post-surgery.
In a raw and honest update, Skye, who is two weeks into her recovery, addressed a fan’s question: ‘Why won’t you just show your eyes?’
In response, the 30-year-old shared a close-up image of herself in casual wear, sporting a white crop top and grey tracksuit bottoms.
‘HAHAHHAHAHA BECAUSE I’m 2 weeks post op and I just can’t be f***ed with ppl’s opinions right now,’ she confessed, admitting that the current state of her face is still in the early phases of recovery.
Skye explained that while she’s healing, it will take a minimum of three months for her face to settle, and she expects gradual changes during that time.
‘Things will change and look different every day!’ she assured her 700k followers.
The reality star turned beauty mogul also revealed that her next big reveal will likely come on Friday during a planned meet and greet, though she hinted that the healing process will continue long after.

‘I’ll have to show my face Friday as I’m doing a meet and greet but yeah, it will continue to heal and change every day.’
Skye laughed at her own post-op insecurities, sharing a reflection on how her nose looked following rhinoplasty surgery: ‘Look how dumb my nose looked when I first got it done’.
She admitted to disliking her post-surgery appearance back then, even going as far as saying, ‘I even hated my boobs when I first got the tape off.’
The influencer encouraged her fans to trust the healing process, saying, ‘LOL ya gotta trust the process.’

Skye is no stranger to the world of cosmetic enhancements, having been open in the past about her procedures and the emotional journey that often comes with them.
Her fox eye lift, designed to give the eyes a more almond-shaped appearance, is just the latest in her string of beauty transformations.
For years, people have been achieving the look using clever eyeliner, shadow makeup techniques and various tweezing methods to create a visual sweep upward to the corner of the eye.
‘I’m trusting the process,’ Skye said of her recovery.
The photos Skye shared on Monday show her face does indeed look ‘scary’ after the trendy procedure, which has been popularised by accessibility of first-hand reviews and celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Ariana Grande.
In addition to the fox eye lift and liposuction, Skye also admitted she underwent a complementary temporal lift (fat transfer into the face to prevent the need for injectable dermal fillers) and a blepharoplasty (an eyelid surgery) earlier this month.
A temporal lift is a fat transfer into the face to prevent the need for injectable dermal fillers and a bletharoplasty is an eyelid surgery.
‘My doctor said there wasn’t much fat on my arms or legs so [he] only took the littlest bit and from what I can see of my arms so far I’m really happy,’ she posted to her Stories.
‘Legs don’t look much different, probably swollen.’
Answering another question on her Instagram Stories, Skye listed off all the plastic surgery procedures she’s ever had done.
That includes surgery on her nose, her breasts (twice), arms, inner thigh and face.
Skye then offered advice to another follower who said she was ‘scared’ to travel to Turkey alone to get the some procedure as her.
The influencer revealed she couldn’t open her eyes for three days following the fox eye lift procedure: ‘Being in a foreign hospital with no eyesight was pretty unsettling.’
‘Why did you get the liposuction if you’re really fit?’ another follower asked Skye.
‘Because [it] doesn’t matter how fit you are, you’re always going to have stubborn areas of fat!’ Skye wrote.
‘I’m not actually that fit. Yes, I train daily but my diet isn’t perfect. I’m too much of a sweet tooth I’m obsessed with sugar and food in general. I’m a big eater lol.
As well as a fox eye lift, Skye also got liposuction on her arms and inner thighs, a temporal lift and a bletharoplasty
‘He wasn’t even going to do it, he said hardly any fat, but I insisted.’
‘Really not being a hater – but YOU’RE the exact reason girls have self esteem issues,’ one follower wrote.
‘Everyone is going to have self esteem issues,’ Skye wrote back.
‘I know it’s sad because I see the beauty in the others but somehow it’s always different when you look at yourself…and I’m being open and honest about my surgeries because I DON’T want other girls who aren’t enhanced to feel like they’re not “good enough” or “not pretty enough”.
‘Everyone is beautiful with or without surgery, but I think the more damaging thing is to get all these enhancements done without being honest about it,’ she continued.
‘There [are] so many girls online who’ve had surgical enhancements and say nothing. I won’t be one of those people.’
Skye said she didn’t want show her face after all the procedures, saying that it’s too ‘horrific’ and ‘scary’ at the moment
