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.'

Euterpe Collective: a new space for women musicians who love Greek traditional music
The response to the first meeting of the Euterpe Collective was enthusiastic and almost overwhelming for Katerina and Stav. The meeting focused on the songs of Asia Minor, with the young women who turned up eager to join in the melodies shared by Katerina and Stav. Speaking to SBS Greek Stav Thomopoulos said that this initiative started from women musicians and it is for women musicians who love traditional Greek music. "We noticed that there aren't many women musicians in the bands in the community and if we see them in bands women are usually in the role of the singer. But there are many women and young girls who play musical instruments. Katerina had the idea to start a group only for women" says Stav Thomopoulos. The two run with this idea and started advertising on social media. They named the group after one of the nine muses, Euterpe, protector of music and lyric poetry. Although Melbourne's Greek music scene offer opportunities for jamming sessions these sessions are dominated by men. The women who join are counted on the fingers of one hand and often sessions with no women musicians. The idea of a women's only group was attractive to those who hankered for a less masculine environment to express their musical aspirations. The first meeting brought together about fifteen, mostly young, women who played violin, accordion, guitar, percussion and gaida. They played to their hearts content to the soulful melodies of Smyrneika songs and Asia Minor tunes. Stavroula Thomopoulos Credit: SBS Greek/Dina Gerolymou "It's not just jamming" says Stav Thomopoulos "we also share our skils, teach and support each other and listen to each other respectfully. At the end of the session we go out together to the local cafe. There's a social aspect to Euterpe, not just music. We foster a friendly environment where everyone feels welcomed and part of the group". Euterpe Collective will meet again on Sunday 29 June at the Pontiaki Estia, 540 Sydney Rd., Brunswick at 10am. It is open to all women regardless of age, musical level and ethnic background. 'Euterpe Collective is open to all women and girls who love Greek traditional music, they are all welcome,' said Stav Thomopoulos and stresses that the point of this initiative is to provide an inclusive, safe space where women can share their art and skills regardless of their expertise or experience. The meeting on June 29 will focus on songs from the Thrace region. Listen to Stavroula Thomopoulou's interview by clicking on the icon next to the photo. Related content

Mister Bianco books Winx Guineas bid with winning hat-trick
Peter Tighe will now get a golden chance to win the Winx Guineas with a horse wearing the colours of his legendary champion. Winx's part-owner Tighe knows Mister Bianco is no Winx, but he was more than happy to win the $150,000 TL Cooney (1350m) at Ipswich as the three-year-old gelding made it a hat-trick of wins. Mister Bianco, which races in Tighe's Magic Bloodstock colours made famous by Winx, will now attack the Group 3 Winx Guineas over 1600m on the Sunshine Coast in a fortnight. In 2015, Winx won the race which was then known as the Sunshine Coast Guineas and it marked the start of the mighty mare's incredible 33-race winning streak. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'The Winx Guineas is on the table, I haven't won that race since we won it with Winx and in fact I haven't even had a runner in it since,' Tighe said. 'The idea was if he keeps improving, we would give it a crack. 'But I won't be on the Sunshine Coast for the Guineas, I am just about to head to America for a month so I will have to keep an eye on it from afar.' Mister Bianco started the $3.40 equal favourite at Ipswich and he and fellow betting pick Stay Focused settled down to fight it out from a long way out with Mister Bianco being stronger on the line. READ: 'Didn't think she get to the races': $5500 filly delivers on debut Andrew Mallyon scored a late pick-up ride on Mister Bianco after Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Michael Rodd fractured his hand at track work in Brisbane on Saturday morning. 'I feel for Michael Rodd who was meant to ride this horse,' Shailer said. 'He'll be out of play for a little bit but Andrew was a great replacement. He is familiar with the horse and has done a wonderful job. 'The penny is starting to drop with Mister Bianco and he is racing with confidence. 'Three months ago, he wouldn't have won that race. 'He would have found a way to get himself beaten so it is good that he's got that killer instinct about him and he was really good off what was a strong tempo today.' Meanwhile, Gold Coast trainer Adam Campton struck a blow at big odds when mare Zouperb ($17) won the BM80 Handicap (1100m). Campton had been considering aiming the five-year-old mare at the Gai Waterhouse Classic but instead opted for the easier assignment over the shorter trip. 'She was purchased online for $30,000 and she's now got a Saturday metro win next to her name,' Campton said. 'Around the turn I was quietly confident but I knew we had to chase down a couple of handy horses and I was seeing (runner-up) End Assembly coming late,' Campton said.
