Zara McDermott has revealed she has had her jaw filler dissolved, opening up about past insecurities that led her to undergo cosmetic procedures in her early twenties. The 29-year-old Love Island star, who is dating One Direction's Louis Tomlinson, shared before-and-after photos on Instagram Stories, explaining that she felt pressure to conform to beauty standards.
McDermott said she was convinced to get filler after an injector recommended 'profile balancing' when she was 20 or 21. She admitted that the filler did not dissolve as quickly as expected, leading to multiple top-ups over several years. 'I feel like I ended up with a lot of filler in my face and a lot of volume,' she said.
Now free from jaw filler, she said: 'I forgot what this part of my body felt like naturally. And I wish I didn't insist on getting all these top ups.' She added that the filler did not age well with her as she got older, and urged followers to love themselves before seeking artificial enhancements.
McDermott reflected on her motivations, saying: 'I look back at myself wanting to have any kind of surgery or wanting to change my face because I didn't feel like I quite fit in with the other beauty standards. And I feel sad about that.' She advised against undergoing cosmetic treatments before the face is fully mature.
