Married At First Sight star Martha Kalifatidis has admitted that she felt some pressure to change her looks from her mother Mary after she turned 20.
The influencer, 33, made the admission on her podcast Swipe Up while discussing model Bella Hadid‘s Vogue interview.
In the magazine, Hadid, 25, detailed her battle with depression and insecurities, and revealed that she had a secret nose job at age 14.

‘I feel like because we’ve come so far with cosmetic procedures and stuff, that the mothers are doing it and therefore the daughters are doing it at a younger age,’ Martha said.
‘When my mum was 40, I was, what? Like 20? And so it was just starting, and she was pushing it on me a little bit,’ she continued.
‘But when my mum’s mum was 40 and my mum was 20, no way my Yiayia (Greek for grandmother) was saying to her, “a little bit of filler in your brow bone would really give you a nice angle.”
‘So we’ve evolved, and maybe in some ways it’s not for the better. Our mental health is at an all time low. We are struggling.’

Martha has been open about her many enhancements, which include a nose job, a breast augmentation, fillers and Botox.
In 2020, she admitted that she regretted going under the knife to have her nose done.

‘If I knew then what I know now, I probably wouldn’t get my nose done,’ she said on Instagram.
‘I feel like my old nose had a little ethnic vibe and it was unique. Now I just feel like I look like everyone else on Instagram.’
Star power! Mary has followed her famous daughter into the reality TV spotlight by appearing on Big Brother last year

During the chat, the 25-year-old model, who previously claimed that she had not undergone any plastic surgery, revealed that she had a nose job at the age of just 14 – and now regrets it.
Bella also detailed her struggles with body image and mental health, admitting she always felt ‘ugly’ and ‘uncool’ in comparison to elder sister Gigi, while reflecting on her battle with anorexia and seeking treatment for depression.
Half-Dutch, half-Palestinian Bella said of her plastic surgery: ‘I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors. I think I would have grown into it.’
