Christopher Maloney Unrecognizable After Eye Bag Surgery

Christopher Maloney looked unrecognisable as he showcased the results of his eye bag surgery after having his loose skin removed after years of filler. 

The alum, 48, had filler underneath his eyes removed in the UK before he jetted out to Poland to have eye bag surgery at Europe Surgery. 

Taking to Instagram on Friday, Europe Surgery shared a video of Chris explaining his surgery to fans after he was left with a swollen face and bloody stitches an hour after the surgery. 

The star told fans: 'The filler, I had lots of loose skin, so beware, do not get filler underneath your eyes because you'll end up here - mind you, that may be better because if you do, then you'll end up here.

'But pain-free, fantastic, only took an hour, and I look about 12.'

Fans were shocked by Chris' new appearance in the post's comments section, as one penned: 'I remember him from the X factor, kind of!? (sic)';

'Omg !! You look great already so leave face alone (sic)'; 'Knock it on the head now please.'

Europe Surgery rushed to his defence in the comments, saying: 'Guys this is what people look like 1 hour after eye surgery. You have to wait a week for the results.'

A supporter of the Celebrity Big Brother 2016 housemates agreed: 'Be kind. If you can't be kind, why say anything he's a lovely person.'

Chris, who found fame on The X Factor in 2012 and finished in third place, previously opened up about his body dysmorphia and more a plastic surgery addiction

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition where a person spends a lot of time worrying about flaws in their appearance. These flaws are often unnoticeable to others. 

The singer has had 20 tweaks in the last seven years, including seven nose jobs, eight hair transplants, his teeth done and three eye operations - all which he thinks totals to around £160,000.

In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail earlier this year, he said: 'I'm trying not to be as drastic as what I used to, though, because there'll be nothing left. Once you've got body dysmorphia, it doesn't go away. It's just trying to manage. 

'I don't look in the mirror now and go I hate myself. I hate the way I look anymore. You know, I'm a little more confident with it. But you know, I'm still addicted to plastic surgery. You know that that's not gonna go.'

He also called the reality show's 'lack of support' when it wrapped up as the singer described his decades-long battle with self harm.

While he insisted he has no regrets from starring on the show and had an overly positive experience, Christopher has shared his disappointment on being 'left to his own devices' when he came straight out. 

He said: 'I did have a breakdown. That was probably because of the fact that when you are catapulted from being in a regular nine to five job and being catapulted into the spotlight on a show that's got 15 million viewers, you don't know what you're doing, it's mind blowing.'

'I think for me extra support would have been nice', he added.

'Like when you come off the show, you're left to your own devices. That's it. You're on your own, even though it's up to the management company. 

'There's no support and that's the probably the reason why I had the breakdown at the end.'

Speaking about his and struggle with self harming, the Liverpool-born singer said: 'I'm opening up to help and highlight this condition, it's very rarely talked about and very little is understood about it.

'The condition is extremely common in men in their 40s. I've struggled with it since childhood, unaware I had the condition.'
