India Willoughby: Trolls turned me to surgery

I like my new face, and I liked my old face to be honest, but words are such powerful things. The words online really cut deep to me, I consider myself thick-skinned, I’m a journalist, and being transgender and out about it for years, but that level was really tough.

Transgender newsreader India was trolled after her appearance in CBB for looking too masculine - so she decided to undergo drastic surgery called facial feminisation. The procedure took 11 hours and surgeons in Spain shaved her brow bone, her orbital lobes around her eyes, and she had blepharoplasty to open and widen her eyes, a mini face lift, a lip lift and a hair transplant.

We followed India through the surgery and now she’s on the sofa to exclusively reveal her new face.
