90 Day Fiance Stars Who Had Plastic Surgery Transformations

Nowadays, it's rather rare for a big-name Hollywood star to keep their look au naturel. While there are some celebs out there who truly forgo plastic surgery, there are a number of stars who have gotten work done. What's more, there are some famous folk who have been totally open about the work they've gotten done. Take Kourtney Kardashian, for example, who set the record straight about the changes she's made to her body in the most Kourtney way. "I have had breast implants," she said on ABC's "Nightline" in 2010, "but it's so funny 'cause it's not a secret, I could care less." Bible.

Speaking of reality stars who've gotten plastic surgery, a handful of the cast members featured on TLC's hit show "90 Day Fiance" have also gone under the knife. From getting lip injections for a fuller pout to undergoing extensive surgery on all parts of their bodies, these public figures have altered their appearance since making their debut on the program. Some have been transparent about what they have and haven't gotten done, whereas others have denied the procedures altogether. Let's take a look at the many stars of the reality dating series that have since surprised fans by their plastic surgery transformations. 

Paola Mayfield is a "90 Day Fiance" veteran after appearing on the show's first-ever season. The Colombian reality star made the big move to Oklahoma to be with husband Russ Mayfield and to pursue a modeling gig, and while Russ had his reservations, the couple managed to overcome those obstacles and even welcomed a son named Axel in 2019. However, Paola has since made a big change in her career: As she announced on Instagram in March 2021, she has become a professional wrestler.  

So, what has Paola gotten done? In a since-deleted Instagram post (via InTouch), she shared she underwent breast augmentation surgery. "I did my boobs way before I came to the USA, and I regret it as I have big boobs before, and now that I'm pregnant my genetics are popping out more," she wrote.

Addressing other work she might have had, Paola shared with her Instagram fans that she had "one side of my upper lip" done to even her lips out, but has never gotten Botox. "My lips look big or small depending on how hydrated I am! So I need to drink a lot of water for them to look juicy!" Other than that, fans might speculate that the star has had other work, but it might just be her ever-changing hair colors. Since appearing on the show, Paola has taken her hair from its natural dark color to blonde, red, and even pink. 

Darcey Silva has been turning heads with her ever-changing looks since she first appeared on "90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days" in 2017. The reality star doesn't shy away from letting people know about the next time she'll be going under the knife, but she recently shocked fans with her new look. According to The U.S. Sun, Darcey, along with twin sister Stacey, traveled to Turkey to have several procedures done, including "an eye lift, nose lift, lip lift, breast implants, and Brazilian Butt Lift." 

The multiple surgeries were also shown on the Season 2 finale of the reality star's TLC show "Darcey & Stacey," with Darcey telling ET that the transformation made her and Stacey "better versions of ourselves," adding, "that's how I feel, but it starts from within. And going there together, as twins, we bonded more, like, it was a whole experience. ... We just felt very protected there, we felt the history, we felt, like, freed, we felt re-birthed. And I would never take that situation or journey back. This was the best thing we've ever done for ourselves."

To complete their looks, the sisters also had their old veneers removed before getting new ones with television viewers getting a look at their natural teeth. In the episode, Darcey admits that their transformations aren't "for the faint of heart," adding, "you gotta go through the pain to get those gains."

Viewers watched as "90 Day Fiance: The Other Way" star Deavan Clegg traveled to Korea to be with Jihoon Lee, bringing along her daughter from a previous relationship and their son. As ScreenRant recounted, the couple hit multiple serious rough patches when they were together, including Deaven accusing Jihoon of assaulting her daughter. (In February 2021, Us Weekly reported these allegations were under investigation. He denied the accusations.) Moving back to the U.S., Deavan has since moved on with a man named Chris "Topher" Park.

Fans noticed that the reality star had undergone cosmetic procedures since her Season 1 debut. She had previously admitted to heavily editing her photos on social media but eventually shared that she had gotten lip fillers in Korea that went wrong. InTouch shared photos that Deavan uploaded to Instagram of her botched procedure "I had damage so severe that my lip was dying," she wrote, adding that she had reached out to "90 Day Fiance" star Larissa Lima, who connected her with a professional injector who could help her out, per The Blast.

Now with a brand new pout, Deavan also showed off her fresh veneers in 2019 on Instagram (via CheatSheet) and started a fundraiser asking her fans to help pay for a boob job on her OnlyFans account, per Screen Rant.

Brazilian-born Karine Staehle and husband Paul Staehle have had quite the rollercoaster relationship ever since appearing on "90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days." With Paul moving to Brazil to be with Karine, the couple faced language barriers, rumors of infidelity, and Paul's extensive criminal history. The two split on several occasions after they wed in November 2017, with news that Karine had filed for divorce. Oh, and there was the restraining order that was filed by both reality stars but was eventually dropped in 2020. The stars had major ups and downs, but as of this writing, they are still together and working on their marriage.

The last time viewers got to watch Karine and Paul's story was on Season 5 of "90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After," when the couple moved to the US and Paul struggled to find work. Despite their hardships, Karine took some time to change up her appearance: In November 2020, Paul posted a photo on his Instagram of his wife with a much fuller pout and fuller brows. InTouch reported that Karine had the cosmetic procedure done in Brazil by Alessandra Nascimento who has also shared photos of the reality star's transformation, stating that Karine had "ombre shadow and lip revitalization. A perfect combination to beautify and enhance facial features."

Larissa Lima is no stranger to plastic surgery. The "90 Day Fiance" star is honest and open about all the procedures she has done so that she can look like "a perfect doll," as she once shared in an episode. TMZ reported that in 2020, Larissa had multiple surgeries that included a boob job, liposuction on her abs and waist, and transferring the fat to her bottom, which cost the star around $72,000. She also decided to get a nose job and revealed her new face to her friends and on-again, off-again partner Eric Nichols on the show. 

The star told ET that she had no desire to stop getting work done, sharing, "Once we drink the wine of the plastic surgery, we start to find things that we can fix, we can change, you know? And once I tried [it], I don't want to stop." And for Larissa, it's go big or go home. InTouch reported that she decided to get even larger breasts by the same Nevada plastic surgeon who once said bigger is not always better, going from 700 cc silicone implants to 1500 cc saline implants, per ScreenRant. 

So will she stop there? Well, while her profile is private as of this writing, her Instagram bio reads, "1500 cc and going UP."

When Brittany Banks landed in Jordan to be with Yazan Abu Harirah, it was anything but a fairytale. On Season 2 of "90 Day Fiance: The Other Way," the couple struggled to understand each other's cultures, with Yazan wanting Brittany to convert to Islam, dealing with a language barrier, and Yazan's parents disapproving of the Brittany's racy social media posts. They couldn't make it work, and Brittany and Yazan's relationship came to an end.

Yazan revealed on an episode of "90 Day: Bares All" that he has since gotten married to a woman named Leena in Jordan, while Brittany returned to the TLC franchise for their spinoff "90 Day: The Single Life." Now that Brittany doesn't have to face the wrath of Yazan's family over her Instagram photos, she's also talked about getting plastic surgery since their split. According to InTouch, the star shared her journey began when she was younger after having an "emergency reduction" because she had a natural F cup which was causing "unbearable back pain." 

Admitting that the doctor had "botched" the surgery, she later got a boob job that left her with scars. The star shared that she had finally achieved her desired look after undergoing a "breast lift, implant exchange, scar revision, and an internal mesh bra."

On Season 8 of "90 Day Fiance," Yara Zaya moved from Ukraine to the US to be with New Orleans native Jovi Dufren, later giving birth to daughter Mylah. The couple faced a few setbacks in their relationship, such as Yara's dislike of living in the Louisiana city and the fact that Jovi did not want to let go of his partying lifestyle. However, they are still married as of this writing, with Jovi sharing photos on Instagram of the family of three traveling around the US with their daughter and even staying safe from a disastrous hurricane that hit his home state.

While the reality star couple seems to be doing well, fans have questioned Yara's looks since appearing on the show. As noted by ScreenRant, when photos of a pre-"90 Day Fiance" Yara surfaced on social media, some fans speculated that she'd gotten a boob job, Botox, and more. At the Season 8 tell-all (via Us Weekly), the star did share that she's gotten a nose job and her lips done. "If somebody don't like something on themselves, change it," she explained. "And I had an issue, like, my nose is potato. So let me do something to that. Four years ago, I was doing my lips too." While some stars may not be as candid about getting work done, Yara doesn't feel like it's something she has to hide. As she said at the post-season special, "I don't see nothing wrong with that."
