Every Islander wants to look their absolute best walking into the villa, but Love Island USA Season 7 star Zac Woodworth just revealed the extreme lengths he went to in order to feel confident on camera. The Casa Amor bombshell got refreshingly honest in a recent TikTok, detailing his “painful” hair transplant journey just months before his reality TV debut.
In an age where cosmetic procedures are often kept under wraps, Zac held nothing back, sharing the entire graphic, step-by-step process with his followers.
Zac Woodworth Candid Confession: “I’m So F*g Glad I Did It”
On August 27, the Arizona native opened up about his decision to undergo the major procedure in Turkey, a popular destination for cosmetic tourism.
“Ten months ago today, I got a hair transplant,” Zac Woodworth stated directly in the video. “I just kind of wanted to come on here and give you guys some information on the entire procedure.”

Zac’s experience began the moment his plane touched down.
The Six-Hour “Painful” Procedure: A Step-by-Step Breakdown
Zac Woodworth didn’t just share the results; he gave a raw, play-by-play of the entire medical journey, starting with the immediate pre-op.
- Immediate Bloodwork: “We landed, got picked up by the shuttle and drove straight to the hospital to get our blood drawn,” he explained, noting it was a routine check to ensure he was healthy enough for surgery.
- The Six-Hour Surgery: The next morning, the procedure began. “The procedure itself is six hours, and I’m awake for the entire thing, which sucked,” he admitted. He didn’t mince words about the discomfort, stating bluntly that it “hurt like a b***h.”
- Post-Op and Recovery: After the grueling six hours, he was carefully bandaged and sent back to his hotel to recover. “The next day, you do like a medical wash, and that part actually feels really good,” he shared. “They kind of—with really delicate hands—soap you down, make sure everything’s clean… re-bandage you and then kind of send you on your way.”
The “Alien” Phase and Trusting the Process
The road to his villa-ready hairline wasn’t pretty. Zac was candid about the difficult healing process, a phase he described in unflattering terms.
“The first three months I looked like an alien,” Zac admitted, referring to the common post-op swelling and initial shedding phase that can be alarming for patients.
However, he stressed that patience was key. He said the turning point came “right around the six-month mark,” when the swelling had subsided and the new hair growth became noticeable. Despite the painful procedure and the awkward healing phase, his final message was one of resounding positivity.
“Just trust the process,” he urged his followers, “because I’m so f*****g glad I did it.”
Zac’s transparency is a refreshing change of pace in the often-curated world of reality television. His willingness to share the unglamorous side of his pre-Love Island preparation is earning him praise from fans who appreciate the honesty.
