Skye Wheatley reveals how much she's spent on plastic surgery as she details most ‘horrific' one yet
Skye Wheatley has spoken candidly about all the surgeries she's had in the past, even revealing the whopping total amount she has spent so far.
Speaking on her new Nova Podcast Skye & Callum with co-host Callum Hole, the 31-year-old estimates that she has probably spent close to half a million dollars in her quest for perfection.
'Honestly, I would say all up maybe $200,000,' she shared before factoring in cosmetic procedures such as skin treatments, Botox which she says costs $300 to $400 a pop, and fillers such as profhilo which can cost $500 a pop.
'But if we're going off my life, I'm going to say $500,000,' she added in the episode, released today.
Wheatley also shared her surgery journey with co-host Hole, who rose to fame on Love Island Australia in 2022. He joked that if she had a book for all her surgeries, it 'would be like a bible'.
The social media star recalled going under the knife for the first time to have breast augmentation surgery after her breakout stint on Big Brother in 2014 – a surgery that almost ended with her having 'three boobs'.
'I went to Thailand for that. I went through some CosMedi Tour thing. You know, the Australian companies that fly you over to Thailand because it's cheaper,' she said. 'So I had that done and that was a massive disaster. I ended up getting double bubble, so I had like a massive lump.'
'I literally had three boobs, actually. That's the best way to describe it.'
Wheatley would go on to have breast revision surgery after having her two sons, as well as
rhinoplasty, liposuction and blepharoplasty, a procedure that improves the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin and fat surrounding it.
The reality star underwent another procedure in the last year: canthoplasty, which is commonly known as a fox eye lift.
Wheatley said she had this done in Turkey after being recommended a surgeon by fellow users on Instagram.
'The reason I went to this Turkish doctor is that I had spoken to three girls in Australia who had had it done. And I'm like OK, he's gotta be good,' she said. 'Did my research and all of that and I was like. 'Yep, that's definitely going to be my surgeon.' I had full trust.'
That's not to say she didn't find the experience 'nerve-racking', revealing she had never 'been so nervous to be put to sleep before'.
And her fears were warranted because when she woke up from the procedure, she couldn't see and it was 'horrific' due to the language barrier, even with an interpreter.
'I was blind for three days. No one spoke any English,' she says of waking up in a Turkish hospital. 'So I couldn't see anything, my face was bandaged.'
Wheatley is thankful she travelled there with a friend named Elle, who came running in the hospital when she needed help.
'I woke up from surgery fully blind – I couldn't see. The nurses would come in speaking their language and I'm trying to talk to them and we could not understand each other,' she recalled.
'I couldn't walk, couldn't move, fully blind and I was screaming help.'
With the help of Elle and being dosed up on Morphine for three days, Wheatley was able to recover and travel back home to Australia, where she was spotted out and about in Brisbane with bandages still on her face last September.
Although she says it takes at least 6 to 12 months to completely heel for her fox eye lift, the star is happy with the outcome so far.
Wheatley says she's planning on yet more surgery, and plans to have her pingueculas cut off – a procedure where the small growth in the sides of your eyes is removed.
'I wish that I had a magical mirror that I could look into and be like, 'OK, longer hair, longer lashes, no freckles …' It's f***ed. I'm sorry I don't know why I'm like that,' she said of wanting to constantly change her look.
'I've always just had an interest in tweaking. I find it so fascinating.'
