Adelaide’s Love Island winner Claudia Bonifazio has opened up about her cosmetic enhancements, revealing she has had Botox and lip fillers in the past.

The local influencer and Marryatville High School alum shared a series of candid Instagram stories on Tuesday, detailing the procedures she had undergone.

“Update on my natural face,” the tongue-in-cheek post read.

Ms Bonifazio said she had previously had nose threads, a non-surgical procedure that lifts or sharpens the end of the nose, small amounts of lip filler and Botox in her forehead and chin.

“Nose threads didn’t hurt because she numbs it before and also yes I noticed a difference but it was short-lived. 10/10 would do it again,” she said.

“Lip filler was only 0.5 (ml) each time, never 1ml. Also, I have not had it done in years.

“My chin Botox is the one I get most often … forehead Botox also did not hurt but my injector is just really, really good.

“I only do little bits when I feel like it and I never do anything that is high risk dangerous.”

She also revealed she had Invisalign and resin bonding on her teeth and got her eyebrows laminated, a simple, non-invasive process that has risen in popularity over recent years.

In 2022, the Adelaide-born beauty became an instant hit after winning Love Island Australia with partner Austen Bugeja, who moved to be with the 23-year-old.

Claudia has since amassed 163,000 followers on Instagram, with her reels attracting more than a quarter of a million views.

In August, Ms Bonifazio said she had been overwhelmed by community support after her family’s restaurant was destroyed after an alleged arson attack.

Three teenagers – a 14-year-old Hampstead Gardens boy, a 17-year-old Enfield boy and a 19-year-old Largs North man – were arrested and charged after the blaze, which tore through Bar38 on Greenhill Rd.

Ms Bonifazio’s parents once owned a pizza shop at the same location before her brother Dion Bonifazio leased the venue alongside co-owners Nunzio Bonifazio and Lewis Goodridge four years ago.

Bar38 attracted diners for its artisan wood oven pizzas, booth seating and cocktail lounge fit-out, serving a range of gourmet cocktails and beverages.

She told The Advertiser her family, especially her brother, were “extremely happy with the police investigation” after the fire, which left her brother “distraught, shattered and beside himself”.

“We are so incredibly thankful and grateful for the immediate response and the hard work that they have put in overnight to already have made three arrests,” she said.

“Everyone is so happy, so many friends and family calling and crying with tears of joy, knowing how hard Dion had worked.”
