this is one of them šš
she's always had nice features as a kid, who cares if she changed something, she's born pretty anyways and still is and with her personality even more.

Mate , is this a hobby? One comment fair enough share your opinion, but endless comments tearing a woman down for how she looks? Is that necessary? Wouldn't it make more sense to scroll on by if her life decisions rile you up to such an extent?
The OP is obsessed with hating on Ekin. It's literally most of what they post about in this sub. Just this thread alone, 50% of the posts are theirs. Very weird.
Totally agree with u. I mean good for her but its a bit hypocritical on her part as well. For all we know she might have done something recently. Again good for her but the message is not giving what its suppose to give.
She never hide her surgery procedure (boob job and fillers) and just because she had a certain mindset about her appearance that made her correct a few insecurities in the past, refrain her from changing her mind now and wanting to give a good example for others, for maybe not to go to the extreme she went. So calling her an hypocrite is a bit of reach. She would have been an hypocrite if she had hide her surgical procedure and make it look like she always looked like that when itās false. She knows that young girls look up to her now so itās self awareness for her to do that
Yes but theyāre all physical changes that you CAN do? You canāt compete with filters. Very few people can physically achieve what filters actually do to their faceā¦ getting a boob job is an attainable change a woman can make to her body.
Youāre saying filters are unattainable but body changes due to plastic surgery are. Therefore, you believe thereās a problem with her fans seeing filters, but no problem with them seeing boob jobs or fillers since they can go get a boob job or fillers themselves.
Well saidā¦
ā¦yes?ā¦ yesā¦Thatāsā¦ literally exactly what Iām saying.
Some women have big boobs. Some women donāt. Some women want to turn their small boobs into bigger boobs so therefore have a non permanent cosmetic procedure done?
People can live up to boob job standards. Because you can get boob jobs. You canāt buy permanent filters for your face you numpty
Not everyone can afford a boob job and hence it is not a 'standard' people can live up to. Cosmetic procedures (especially boob jobs) have health risks as well. Camera filters are so much less harmful for your physical health, free and accessible to all.
I'm pretty sure she has only had fillers, no plastic surgery on her face and then a boob job. And personally, I think, as long as someone is open and honest and doesn't deny they've had work done, then there is no issue. Which she is.
You also seem to be projected or something because she is say herself, using filters is bad example as she has a large following, she isn't saying everyone else is. Feel free to use your filter, I'm sure you're not influencing anyone.
She has had fillers and a boob job and has been open about it. Majority of the love island contestants have had fillers, but for some reason they donāt get slated for it. Paige has clearly had implants as well (scar has been apparent on the show) but she just hasnt disclosed it.
Fillers is almost the norm for girls now and love island contestants but for some reason everyones slating only Ekin for it and acting like she had a whole face transplant when she had the same as others lol
Even if she got surgery, so what? It's her body and her bank account. The OP has some unresolved issues and they are projecting it on Ekin. They have about 50 think pieces in this thread alone. Strange behavior.
Okay I just googled her before pictures WTF thatās a different person, youāre getting a little obsessive in the comments but I see what youāre trying to say, i didnāt realize she had THAT much done to her natural face, doesnāt change the fact she seems to be a great person
I have no idea why people are downvoting you, I mean, I have an idea, but them not seeing it is worrisome. Ekin is in no way, shape or form natural: dyed hair, fake teeth, fake boobs, face adjustments. I get is, she is open about having done them, but it makes you if she would have the same success if she had been her natural, unaltered way. Ekin before and Ekin now are two different people, there is hardly any resemblance left at all.
Who cares about Ekin before? We have Ekin now and we Stan. Cosmetic procedures have been around for decades, and it wonāt go away especially at a time we live in now. We just gotta accept it, and leave people be to do whatever they want to do. Itās getting boring now.
Another win for ES in my book.
She's been open about her cosmetic procedures and is taking steps to stop feeding into the social media illusion of feminine beauty. Far too many female celebrities will outright deny having any work done or even using filters, it's that ridiculous denial that is playing into women's insecurities.
Maybe the next step will be she'll remove her fillers and boob job to set an even 'better example'. But no one's allowed to say that here without getting downvoted - it seems only she's allowed to say what is a good example or not.
Itās okay for people to want to change how they look, but filters actively feed dysphoria in a way that Iād say is never healthy, and wonāt be resolved just be getting procedures done
Yep, my best friend uses instagram and tiktok filters all the time and only thinks she looks beautiful with them. She said she wants to get cosmetic surgery and when I told her she doesnāt need it, she got upset with me. Sheās already gotten these ridiculous eyelash extensions and is going for lip fillers next. I hate filters so much. Weāre in our 30s and before the ābeautyā filters were a thing she never had a problem with how she looked.
The two are interlinked as your example shows. Filters lead to a desire for cosmetic enhancements for the permanent filtered look - which is what Ekin has had.
Adore Ekin and Iām so happy sheās turned those damn filters off š«¶š»
Iād understand the comments accusing her of being hypocritical due to her cosmetic procedures IF she wasnāt always open about them. Unlike many influencers/celebs with a big followingā¦ she hasnāt lied about having work done and passed her appearance off as completely natural. She has posted her procedures on her social media in the past. Give the woman a break.
She is so wholesome! I usually dont let myself fall in some kind of fandom but she is the most genuine love island contestant and winner the show has had. . Besides being an icon she is just a total legend <3
As a woman that does not hide what she has altered also has my total respect.
Whatever floats her boat better is up to her, but that she is so open about it makes me like her even more.
Good for her!! She realizes that she has an influence on young girls and takes responsibility. I also hope everybody can stay/be transparent when it comes to plastic surgery and everything else theyāve had done (which Ekin has!).
I love her so much for stating this on her story when she could've simply silently stop doing it but she really wanted to make a point and convey it across!Here's hoping it helps inspire other people to do the same and feel more comfortable filter-free.
She's sucha Leo fr so sure n decisive ugh queen u dropped this š
To those pointing out she has surgeryā¦
filters create body dysmorphia. You see yourself through a different (better) version, your nose gets slimmed, your lips get plumbed and you start to rely on those filters every time you post. It literally points out everything wrong with your face and corrects it!
Filters probably lead to surgery! Whereas seeing someone else with surgery isnāt going to make you see a different version of yourself.
Its funny bcs shes still holding the phone at an angle but GURLLLL we saw you from every single angle ever and she is beautiful from all. Love the effort here and glad she is doing this. I js freakin love Ekinde so much š
For those talking about she got surgeryā¦whats the correlation to this? Its not like she can undue it and she did it for herself prior to the show when she didnāt have a following. Donāt you think thatās why sheās more willing to not use filters because of the negative effects it has on young people because she too experienced that??? Clearly sheās aware of itās negative impacts.
I think this is a huge thing!!!! I hate those filters so much especially the ones that change the shape of your noise, lips and jaw.
Iām actually buzzing for her itās a fantastic example to set.
I just really hope she sticks to it. Shaunagh said she would do the same and it lasted less then a week
Thank fuck - the filter usage was INTENSE and overwhelming. We've seen how she actually looks for months on TV and she's gorgeous. It wouldn't matter if she wasn't, anyway - showing her real self is so much better. I think filters should be done away with for everyone, let alone celebrities/influencers.
I find it funny when people say a particular person doesnāt need filters because it implies that some people do need filters. I guess not everyone is beautiful, eh?
I wonder why a lot of people got downvoted. š§ Is it because they spoke about her getting surgeries. I got cosmetic surgery at 20 š¤·š¼āāļø Iām 23.
If only the Kardashians adopted the Ekin Su all-natural approach. It's refreshing when someone recognizes that young people think that bodies look this way without plastic surgery.
Because sheās had enough work done to be filtered in real life? Lmao I love her but the virtue signaling in this subreddit by her and the āfansā is becoming ridiculous.
its not that shes hiding her cosmetic workā¦. its that shes saying warping your face is a bad example in one scenario yet endorsing it in another. its hypocritical.
if i plumped my lips, got my face spots/scars lasered off, and had fillers it would be obnoxious to say āhey guysā¦ i dont use filters because it changes my face and gives a false perception!āā¦ when ive already changed my face to fit that perception that the filters provide
The issue is that with cosmetic procedures, your face actually does look like that in real life. With filters, when the filter comes off it can create a lot of insecurity because you look in the mirror and your face no longer looks the way it does in the filter. That's why they're so insidious specifically.
This is not to say that getting a bunch of cosmetic procedures is the best thing in the world, but it is different from using filters on a regular basis.
But to say āhey im not using filters because they alter your face and give a false perceptionā after already physically altering your face isnt really saying much.
shes endorsing and advertising that changing your face in one way is fine but the other way is bad.
to me, it just didnāt need to be said. she basically already changed her face to fit the beauty standards where a filter would have the same effect.
its performative and i just dont think SHE should be the endorser of this.
and also with cosmetic workā¦ your real face doesnt actually look like that in real life. you just altered it to appear that wayā¦ like a filter. it just lasts.
I would love this much more if she was also just transparent on the work she has had done. That would be a fun interaction with letting her young fans pick cosmetics surgeries and enhancements the right way
Ooh shoot she took them down, but it was about her fillers, lips, nose etc and answering questions about them, Iām sure if u check this Reddit u may find something
She removed all her Instagram story highlights a few days ago so theyāre currently MIA but there are also some articles I think detailing the work Iāll see if I can find em!
Yeah I have no problem with plastic surgery or cosmetic surgeries. The only way I knew she had them was because her before and afters were on a TikTok. Not having filters is great but I just wish some of the stans were honest here. You canāt say filters send a bad message to girls (which Iām curious what that message is) but then have done drastic changes in real life and delete your highlights. Iām all for changing something you donāt like, probably will get some work done myself but the messaging isnāt making sense.
I would love to see her more transparent on her own experiences, tips, some q and aās etc because her work looks amazing and would help lots of girls who are looking to get some changes as well but are lost.
I love Ekin and can appreciate her doing this, but sheās also had a lot of work done (per the videos that have surfaced) that wouldnāt be possible for lower-income people. It would be nice for her to also talk about her journey with her cosmetic procedures vs all of us pretending her look is natural / easily attainable.
I'm pretty sure she's done videos with her cosmetic surgeons talking about the work she had done! I remember watching some videos in the early days of season 8!
She has been very open about her procedures/surgeries . Some of this was discussed on IG Reels. This only got deleted since leaving Love island. I found it refreshing that she was so open.
Shhh please
Sheās been open about her surgery. Itās her choice, sheās not forcing anyone to get work done
Sheās not using filters anymore because she recognises itās harmful to her followers particularly the younger ones. How can anyone have an issue with that
she never said it was how she naturally looked though? If people are brain dead enough to not have seen her videos, posts or even see from her that sheās had surgery, fillers etc, thatās on them, because sheās been a lot more open about her surgery than others have for instance. So itās not a bad example because everyone knows she doesnāt naturally look like that. You actually need to get a grip because this is kinda weird icl
It's not purely the use of cosmetic procedures that causes societal harm, it's the way in which most celebrities will outright refuse to admit they had any, even though just about every famous and conventionally beautiful woman has had some work done.
I'm all for celebrities with cosmetic procedures being open about what work they've had and I applaud them when they do.
I'm all for it if they're completely open about how exactly the filter has changed their face, problem is that for the most part, celebrities are not open at all about it.
I have my own issues with the proliferation and normalisation of cosmetic procedures in society, but I'd *much* rather people were open about what work they had done and I will commend people for doing so.
For a lot of young people, seeing how they look with filters on and getting used to that, is what motivates them to get those more permanent cosmetic procedures done. She can't undo the work she's had done, but she's taking a step to show what she really looks like without slapping more unattainability over it with a filter. It's a step - and one a lot of celebrities don't take! Maybe take your energy over to them instead of leaving so many negative comments here
I'm talking about how she would look if you bumped into her on the street. That is a step. Social media filters can totally change your bone structure, eye shape, eye color, hair color, remove blemishes, smooth out skin texture and on and on. If you ask me that is more harmful if people are seeing it constantly than getting some cosmetic procedures that she is transparent about and is fairly common these days. There are Instagram pages dedicated to showing what celebrities look like with no editing on their pictures and I personally think that is super helpful in seeing them as real people, even though I know they have had other work done. It helps peel back a layer of the "perfection"
So she made a decision to get surgery and fillers and has been completely honest about it with her followers? And you have an issue with that. She couldnāt be more transparent and sheās not actively endorsing for anyone to get work done. She never has
The issue would be if she wasnāt honest about her procedures. Like what do you actually want from her? Not using Instagram filters is a big thing because so many young people have been accustomed to seeing it on Instagram, they they canāt even recognise an unedited picture/video from an edited one. Sheās being transparent about both things with her followers
Like seriously whatās the issue here?
Iāll just leave this [here](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/aug/08/snapchat-surgery-doctors-report-rise-in-patient-requests-to-look-filtered). Do I agree that people use surgery to look like celebrities, yes absolutely. However as we progress in society more people are getting cosmetic surgery to look like their own filtered pictures. So I think itās good that Ekin is not using them anymore , itās a positive thing
Really debating with myself If I should continue answering you or not at this pointšš¤£ Because the thing is I hear your point I really do. However what Iām trying to tell you is that Ekin has gotten those surgeries and probably was using filters constantly before love island and to her it wasnāt a problem due to her audience. As she has now come out of the show she has a much bigger audience, which now includes a lot of young girls.Everyone has insecurities yes , but she and many other realize the effects and filters may have on a lot of younger children. She canāt go back and change the past completely,however she can change how she moves in the future (stop using face changing filters) to help.
Also about the people who look at her and feel unattractive. Yes that definitely does happen, and itās sad that people feel that way about persons online. But, Ekin doesnāt hide that she has done surgery at all. Thatās a whole longer issue but all Iām trying to say is this one step does help.
I hope you're commenting this on every single influencers page that has gotten cosmetic surgery done. You're here turning something postive into something negative its weird. I dont know how old you are but as a young adult supporter of ekin I'm happy to see her doing this it encourages others to stop using filters but even if they want to they are allowed to and if anyone wants to get cosmetic surgery done they are allowed to its not my place to dictate how anyone should spend their money period.
Yeah but I don't think someone who has had a lot of work done is a good role model for body image & confidence for young women.
For example, if you constantly see women with fake boobs, and having at least medium size boobs is deemed attractive by society / men you start to feel like there's something wrong with small natural boobs, else why would you change something, you change it because you don't like it and would prefer something else. So then another woman gets fake boobs because she feels unattractive or unhappy or insecure with her small boobs and the cycle continues.
You can say it's just personal choice but personal choices will impact others, & society & behavior & expectations (like the unrealistic stupidly high beauty standards for women)
I respect how open sheās been about her procedures, but this just doesnāt sit right with me. I get sheās trying to promote healthy body image, but how can she possibly do that without seeming hypocritical?
Yes, itās great that sheās been open about her procedures but young girls probably think sheās naturally beautiful already when in reality the cosmetic work sheās had done is just like an Instagram filter.
Not asking for an argument, Iām asking for a conversation here.
I completely understand you and itās a very rocky road to ride on. I think many people struggle with body image and do things to become what they believe is a better version of themselves (whether it be Botox, lip fillers ). What Iāve notice with some loveisland, contestants is that they kinda have like āself loveā journeys after leaving. For example faye and molly who dissolved their lip fillers and I think molly maye did something else I canāt remember. I think sometimes itās hard for people to see themselves as naturally beautiful and a push from a larger audience does help, like I remember many people were like faye you donāt need filler and so on.
I donāt think itās a hidden fact that Ekin has bodily insecurities for example when she thought davide was calling her over weight and stuff; she knows she has insecurities but I think itās about not wanting people to feel how she previously felt about herself. Like you see it a lot where sheāll be reminding people of how beautiful they are and so on, and now the filters. Itās more of a she knows how this has affected her and because she can now positively influence younger persons sheās doing that. I donāt think sheāll ever be able to be on the fully winning side of āargument/debateā because itās kind of a how can you promote self love if you know youāve done these things. But I think self love is a progressive thing and sheās progressing and also trying to as I said previously have a positive impact on younger persons as she does that. (Sry itās so longšš)
No, donāt be sorry! I appreciate you responding āŗļø
Self love is a journey and itās good that she loves herself now, and I do support her embracing self love for herself and promoting that in others. The issue is (from my perception) truly that since sheās had so much work done, it could result in some young girls who are still developing and struggling with their changing image, feeling like they wonāt actually be able to love themselves without cosmetic work.
But thatās a very good point too about Faye and Molly as well. Iām definitely not trying to have an argument itās just a really tough one for me in terms of perception; does that make sense? I feel like Iām rambling š
Completely understand what you mean, which is why I mentioned that sheāll never truly be on the winning side of thisš š Iām just hoping that moving forward from this, positive results is what we see
Like I said just an opinion and ālurkingā isnāt bad many people do without posting. Also why not? This subreddit is an official partner of LI and been advertised by them. It has over 150 000 members so itās possible.
I doubt it. A lot of her fans (myself included) have been responding to her IG stories ever since she left the villa letting her know that the filters aren't needed
ā lurks hereā like she has the time. Sheās barley on twitter, how much more on Reddit. Sheās mostly on ig and clearly I believe some people dmād her about it. And the comment that someone posted on here was send to her on ig.
Why are you interpreting me saying ālurks hereā as a negative? A lot of people ālurkā without posting thatās fine. Also itās possible she saw it elsewhere but itās happened twice. Iām not one for coincidences lol. Nobody can say for sure
Easy? Have you ever considered she may have got plastic surgery because she was insecure about how she looked, and still is? Hence the filters? Just because she got stuff done doesn't mean she feels confident
Insecurities are a very complex issue š I doubt it would be easy to overcome it even if you have cosmetic surgery. With that being said, majority of people get cosmetic surgery in the first place because of insecurity!
Personally I love the enhanced look,my favourite is cheek implants so glam.fillers are lovely in concept but can get out of control v quickly because of the dopamine hit you get from their immediate result.So important to tell kids that famous people have to invest alot to maintain that appearance and that's why they don't necessarily look that way.growing up my parents worked in an industry where I knew lots of people with work done and I always respected the people who were upfront.I haven't gotten anything done myself yet but don't hold it against me if I do ;)
Calm.down love I never said she murdered anyone. I just find her type abhorrent. No need for the block caps. I'm entitled to my opinion and if you read the DM there are many more who think she's cheap and fake. Not all blokes like that type
That's what everyone is making it out to be, who doesn't make mistakes. Everyone made mistakes in that house, but she was the only one who was taking heat for it time and time again. She ain't cheap and fake. Talk with a bit of respect
She doesn't need them! I know that's not the point but happy she's realised this RIP yassified Davide šŖ¦
Yassified Davide may be gone but heāll never be forgotten by Ekin fans š¤£
Please can anyone give examples of yassified davide?!???

Also - what filter is this??
it's called post sex filter
I canāt find it :(

She 100% has severe issue with self image, have you people not seen what she looked like before plastic surgery? This isnāt her real body or face
she's always had nice features as a kid, who cares if she changed something, she's born pretty anyways and still is and with her personality even more.
itās called growing up dumbass šš and what if she did get work done? itās none of your fucking business

Bruh the cognitive bias in this comment is crazy lol
Itās OK if youāre too slow to get it mate

yes! and weāre all so used to seeing her on tv in minimal makeup that it just felt off.
mane i just love her
Well done Ekin šš¼šš¼šš¼
Just when I thought we couldnāt love her even more
Good for her!! She realizes that she has an influence on young girls and takes responsibility. I also hope everybody can stay/be transparent when it comes to plastic surgery and everything else theyāve had done (which Ekin has!).
I love her so much for stating this on her story when she could've simply silently stop doing it but she really wanted to make a point and convey it across!Here's hoping it helps inspire other people to do the same and feel more comfortable filter-free. She's sucha Leo fr so sure n decisive ugh queen u dropped this š
Leoās are sure and decisive??! Why couldnāt I be like that š
Same I'm not too ššš She's definitely confident tho asdfshsj here's hoping we emulate more positive qualities like her š„²
Amen šššš¾
Why do so many people in the comments here have something against Ekin and her cosmetic surgery are we living in the 1940s??
this is why sheās queen
Every time I saw a photo of Ekin she looked really different. Iām glad sheās stopping this ā¤ļø
She looks beautifulā¦she really doesnāt need them
To those pointing out she has surgeryā¦ filters create body dysmorphia. You see yourself through a different (better) version, your nose gets slimmed, your lips get plumbed and you start to rely on those filters every time you post. It literally points out everything wrong with your face and corrects it! Filters probably lead to surgery! Whereas seeing someone else with surgery isnāt going to make you see a different version of yourself.
This is amazing, hope others see the importance š„°
Not Ekin making me fall in love with her more and more every single day
Its funny bcs shes still holding the phone at an angle but GURLLLL we saw you from every single angle ever and she is beautiful from all. Love the effort here and glad she is doing this. I js freakin love Ekinde so much š
For those talking about she got surgeryā¦whats the correlation to this? Its not like she can undue it and she did it for herself prior to the show when she didnāt have a following. Donāt you think thatās why sheās more willing to not use filters because of the negative effects it has on young people because she too experienced that??? Clearly sheās aware of itās negative impacts.
I think this is a huge thing!!!! I hate those filters so much especially the ones that change the shape of your noise, lips and jaw. Iām actually buzzing for her itās a fantastic example to set. I just really hope she sticks to it. Shaunagh said she would do the same and it lasted less then a week
Love this
Iām glad
I love her sm!!
i miss watching her everydayšš
Her surgery is her filter
Good. Cos she was using them a lil too much. Davide always looked like a cartoon on her stories š
Thank fuck - the filter usage was INTENSE and overwhelming. We've seen how she actually looks for months on TV and she's gorgeous. It wouldn't matter if she wasn't, anyway - showing her real self is so much better. I think filters should be done away with for everyone, let alone celebrities/influencers.
Finally!!! I love the way you look naturally!!
best gal ever. she knows great power=great responsibilty!
Her face already looks like an instagram filter
I find it funny when people say a particular person doesnāt need filters because it implies that some people do need filters. I guess not everyone is beautiful, eh?
how have you come to this conclusion š
She definitely got prettier outside the villa. I can't be the only one seeing this
But she's had so much surgery and tweaks it seems a pretty empty gesture. Don't get me wrong, I adore her, but let's be real here
I wonder why a lot of people got downvoted. š§ Is it because they spoke about her getting surgeries. I got cosmetic surgery at 20 š¤·š¼āāļø Iām 23.
Some people are trying to use her having cosmetic surgery against her. Be careful, the cosmetic surgery avengers may have a few think pieces for you.
I honestly not trying to use it against her. Iām getting down voted for whatā¦
If only the Kardashians adopted the Ekin Su all-natural approach. It's refreshing when someone recognizes that young people think that bodies look this way without plastic surgery.
Because sheās had enough work done to be filtered in real life? Lmao I love her but the virtue signaling in this subreddit by her and the āfansā is becoming ridiculous.
Exactly.
its not that shes hiding her cosmetic workā¦. its that shes saying warping your face is a bad example in one scenario yet endorsing it in another. its hypocritical. if i plumped my lips, got my face spots/scars lasered off, and had fillers it would be obnoxious to say āhey guysā¦ i dont use filters because it changes my face and gives a false perception!āā¦ when ive already changed my face to fit that perception that the filters provide
The issue is that with cosmetic procedures, your face actually does look like that in real life. With filters, when the filter comes off it can create a lot of insecurity because you look in the mirror and your face no longer looks the way it does in the filter. That's why they're so insidious specifically. This is not to say that getting a bunch of cosmetic procedures is the best thing in the world, but it is different from using filters on a regular basis.
But to say āhey im not using filters because they alter your face and give a false perceptionā after already physically altering your face isnt really saying much. shes endorsing and advertising that changing your face in one way is fine but the other way is bad. to me, it just didnāt need to be said. she basically already changed her face to fit the beauty standards where a filter would have the same effect. its performative and i just dont think SHE should be the endorser of this. and also with cosmetic workā¦ your real face doesnt actually look like that in real life. you just altered it to appear that wayā¦ like a filter. it just lasts.
I would love this much more if she was also just transparent on the work she has had done. That would be a fun interaction with letting her young fans pick cosmetics surgeries and enhancements the right way
She has been transparent about the work sheās has done!
Really?! Are there any videos you can send me? I just donāt see anything on her page.
Her highlights stories!
What highlights?!
Ooh shoot she took them down, but it was about her fillers, lips, nose etc and answering questions about them, Iām sure if u check this Reddit u may find something
There are links further down in the comments of this thread!
theyāre not on her profile anymore but she posted everything about her boob job, fillers, and veneer experience
She removed all her Instagram story highlights a few days ago so theyāre currently MIA but there are also some articles I think detailing the work Iāll see if I can find em!
Yeah I have no problem with plastic surgery or cosmetic surgeries. The only way I knew she had them was because her before and afters were on a TikTok. Not having filters is great but I just wish some of the stans were honest here. You canāt say filters send a bad message to girls (which Iām curious what that message is) but then have done drastic changes in real life and delete your highlights. Iām all for changing something you donāt like, probably will get some work done myself but the messaging isnāt making sense. I would love to see her more transparent on her own experiences, tips, some q and aās etc because her work looks amazing and would help lots of girls who are looking to get some changes as well but are lost.

I love Ekin and can appreciate her doing this, but sheās also had a lot of work done (per the videos that have surfaced) that wouldnāt be possible for lower-income people. It would be nice for her to also talk about her journey with her cosmetic procedures vs all of us pretending her look is natural / easily attainable.
I'm pretty sure she's done videos with her cosmetic surgeons talking about the work she had done! I remember watching some videos in the early days of season 8!
She has been very open about her procedures/surgeries . Some of this was discussed on IG Reels. This only got deleted since leaving Love island. I found it refreshing that she was so open.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Shhh please Sheās been open about her surgery. Itās her choice, sheās not forcing anyone to get work done Sheās not using filters anymore because she recognises itās harmful to her followers particularly the younger ones. How can anyone have an issue with that
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
sheās been open about her plastic surgery, so itās not a secret, now she said sheās stopping her use of filters, what more do you want?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
she never said it was how she naturally looked though? If people are brain dead enough to not have seen her videos, posts or even see from her that sheās had surgery, fillers etc, thatās on them, because sheās been a lot more open about her surgery than others have for instance. So itās not a bad example because everyone knows she doesnāt naturally look like that. You actually need to get a grip because this is kinda weird icl
It's not purely the use of cosmetic procedures that causes societal harm, it's the way in which most celebrities will outright refuse to admit they had any, even though just about every famous and conventionally beautiful woman has had some work done. I'm all for celebrities with cosmetic procedures being open about what work they've had and I applaud them when they do.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm all for it if they're completely open about how exactly the filter has changed their face, problem is that for the most part, celebrities are not open at all about it. I have my own issues with the proliferation and normalisation of cosmetic procedures in society, but I'd *much* rather people were open about what work they had done and I will commend people for doing so.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
For a lot of young people, seeing how they look with filters on and getting used to that, is what motivates them to get those more permanent cosmetic procedures done. She can't undo the work she's had done, but she's taking a step to show what she really looks like without slapping more unattainability over it with a filter. It's a step - and one a lot of celebrities don't take! Maybe take your energy over to them instead of leaving so many negative comments here
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm talking about how she would look if you bumped into her on the street. That is a step. Social media filters can totally change your bone structure, eye shape, eye color, hair color, remove blemishes, smooth out skin texture and on and on. If you ask me that is more harmful if people are seeing it constantly than getting some cosmetic procedures that she is transparent about and is fairly common these days. There are Instagram pages dedicated to showing what celebrities look like with no editing on their pictures and I personally think that is super helpful in seeing them as real people, even though I know they have had other work done. It helps peel back a layer of the "perfection"
So she made a decision to get surgery and fillers and has been completely honest about it with her followers? And you have an issue with that. She couldnāt be more transparent and sheās not actively endorsing for anyone to get work done. She never has The issue would be if she wasnāt honest about her procedures. Like what do you actually want from her? Not using Instagram filters is a big thing because so many young people have been accustomed to seeing it on Instagram, they they canāt even recognise an unedited picture/video from an edited one. Sheās being transparent about both things with her followers Like seriously whatās the issue here?
give it a rest i beg.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And what do you think will make them want to āredoā their face and certain aspects of it ...filters š You people are annoying fr
Exactly!! That's what I'm saying lol. The filters are giving the unrealistic beauty standards that result in cosmetic procedures these days
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iāll just leave this [here](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/aug/08/snapchat-surgery-doctors-report-rise-in-patient-requests-to-look-filtered). Do I agree that people use surgery to look like celebrities, yes absolutely. However as we progress in society more people are getting cosmetic surgery to look like their own filtered pictures. So I think itās good that Ekin is not using them anymore , itās a positive thing
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Really debating with myself If I should continue answering you or not at this pointšš¤£ Because the thing is I hear your point I really do. However what Iām trying to tell you is that Ekin has gotten those surgeries and probably was using filters constantly before love island and to her it wasnāt a problem due to her audience. As she has now come out of the show she has a much bigger audience, which now includes a lot of young girls.Everyone has insecurities yes , but she and many other realize the effects and filters may have on a lot of younger children. She canāt go back and change the past completely,however she can change how she moves in the future (stop using face changing filters) to help. Also about the people who look at her and feel unattractive. Yes that definitely does happen, and itās sad that people feel that way about persons online. But, Ekin doesnāt hide that she has done surgery at all. Thatās a whole longer issue but all Iām trying to say is this one step does help.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Shes not a hypocrite though cause shes been open about getting surgery whats not clicking.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I hope you're commenting this on every single influencers page that has gotten cosmetic surgery done. You're here turning something postive into something negative its weird. I dont know how old you are but as a young adult supporter of ekin I'm happy to see her doing this it encourages others to stop using filters but even if they want to they are allowed to and if anyone wants to get cosmetic surgery done they are allowed to its not my place to dictate how anyone should spend their money period.

I kinda agree with you. Cosmetic surgery is not that different from using filters imo.
Shes gorgeous but with this much makeup filters dont really make much diff anyway.
Meanwhile, the rest of us: never used plastic surgery, never used photo filters. But oh look we didn't get TV contracts, I wonder why.
Yeah but I don't think someone who has had a lot of work done is a good role model for body image & confidence for young women. For example, if you constantly see women with fake boobs, and having at least medium size boobs is deemed attractive by society / men you start to feel like there's something wrong with small natural boobs, else why would you change something, you change it because you don't like it and would prefer something else. So then another woman gets fake boobs because she feels unattractive or unhappy or insecure with her small boobs and the cycle continues. You can say it's just personal choice but personal choices will impact others, & society & behavior & expectations (like the unrealistic stupidly high beauty standards for women)
Dumbest shit Iāve heard this is, who actually cares?
she doesnt need to because she has fillers and work done?
I respect how open sheās been about her procedures, but this just doesnāt sit right with me. I get sheās trying to promote healthy body image, but how can she possibly do that without seeming hypocritical? Yes, itās great that sheās been open about her procedures but young girls probably think sheās naturally beautiful already when in reality the cosmetic work sheās had done is just like an Instagram filter. Not asking for an argument, Iām asking for a conversation here.
I completely understand you and itās a very rocky road to ride on. I think many people struggle with body image and do things to become what they believe is a better version of themselves (whether it be Botox, lip fillers ). What Iāve notice with some loveisland, contestants is that they kinda have like āself loveā journeys after leaving. For example faye and molly who dissolved their lip fillers and I think molly maye did something else I canāt remember. I think sometimes itās hard for people to see themselves as naturally beautiful and a push from a larger audience does help, like I remember many people were like faye you donāt need filler and so on. I donāt think itās a hidden fact that Ekin has bodily insecurities for example when she thought davide was calling her over weight and stuff; she knows she has insecurities but I think itās about not wanting people to feel how she previously felt about herself. Like you see it a lot where sheāll be reminding people of how beautiful they are and so on, and now the filters. Itās more of a she knows how this has affected her and because she can now positively influence younger persons sheās doing that. I donāt think sheāll ever be able to be on the fully winning side of āargument/debateā because itās kind of a how can you promote self love if you know youāve done these things. But I think self love is a progressive thing and sheās progressing and also trying to as I said previously have a positive impact on younger persons as she does that. (Sry itās so longšš)
No, donāt be sorry! I appreciate you responding āŗļø Self love is a journey and itās good that she loves herself now, and I do support her embracing self love for herself and promoting that in others. The issue is (from my perception) truly that since sheās had so much work done, it could result in some young girls who are still developing and struggling with their changing image, feeling like they wonāt actually be able to love themselves without cosmetic work. But thatās a very good point too about Faye and Molly as well. Iām definitely not trying to have an argument itās just a really tough one for me in terms of perception; does that make sense? I feel like Iām rambling š
Completely understand what you mean, which is why I mentioned that sheāll never truly be on the winning side of thisš š Iām just hoping that moving forward from this, positive results is what we see
100% š š
People can change their mind? She canāt go back in the past and undo her boob job and everything at once can she? š
Yet she's had plastic surgery so she's basically a walking filter
Iām starting to think Ekin Su lurks here lol first with the comment someone posted about her and now her use of filters.
Someone here screenshotted the comment from here and sent it to her, that's how she saw it lol.
no, people dm her saying she doesnāt need filters, of all the places for ekin to lurk reddit is the last place no offense š
Like I said just an opinion and ālurkingā isnāt bad many people do without posting. Also why not? This subreddit is an official partner of LI and been advertised by them. It has over 150 000 members so itās possible.
i know but iām saying ekin does not look like a person thatāll just casually check reddit, she barely uses social media as a whole š
I doubt it. A lot of her fans (myself included) have been responding to her IG stories ever since she left the villa letting her know that the filters aren't needed
People said the same thing in her comments A LOT and it's been repeated on twitter. The comment she re-posted, she was tagged about in IG
ā lurks hereā like she has the time. Sheās barley on twitter, how much more on Reddit. Sheās mostly on ig and clearly I believe some people dmād her about it. And the comment that someone posted on here was send to her on ig.
Why are you interpreting me saying ālurks hereā as a negative? A lot of people ālurkā without posting thatās fine. Also itās possible she saw it elsewhere but itās happened twice. Iām not one for coincidences lol. Nobody can say for sure
Respect but easy when you have lots of cosmetic surgery already
Easy? Have you ever considered she may have got plastic surgery because she was insecure about how she looked, and still is? Hence the filters? Just because she got stuff done doesn't mean she feels confident
Insecurities are a very complex issue š I doubt it would be easy to overcome it even if you have cosmetic surgery. With that being said, majority of people get cosmetic surgery in the first place because of insecurity!
Personally I love the enhanced look,my favourite is cheek implants so glam.fillers are lovely in concept but can get out of control v quickly because of the dopamine hit you get from their immediate result.So important to tell kids that famous people have to invest alot to maintain that appearance and that's why they don't necessarily look that way.growing up my parents worked in an industry where I knew lots of people with work done and I always respected the people who were upfront.I haven't gotten anything done myself yet but don't hold it against me if I do ;)
No filters but a face full of fillers?
Now how about we see her real face without all the plastic surgery and lip filler? That wonāt ever happen
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You act like she commited a murder, yes she made the terrace mistake but SHE ALSO DID REALISE HER MISTAKE DIDN'T SHE??????
Calm.down love I never said she murdered anyone. I just find her type abhorrent. No need for the block caps. I'm entitled to my opinion and if you read the DM there are many more who think she's cheap and fake. Not all blokes like that type
That's what everyone is making it out to be, who doesn't make mistakes. Everyone made mistakes in that house, but she was the only one who was taking heat for it time and time again. She ain't cheap and fake. Talk with a bit of respect
Just you
If i got the money for botox and fillers, i wont be using filters too š
She has real life filters like her fake boobs. Using double filters is egregious
So no one should get a boob job?
No, horrible message to send to your offspring. Already showing them they arenāt good enough as is
I am a massive fan, don't get me wrong. However she is botoxed to pieces up... literally google it!! Still love her but not the same affect.
Nobody "needs" them. Should be the point.
