Popular 90 Day Fiancé star Ariela Wienberg’s return to the show has sparked rumors of plastic surgery, because on season 9 she looks almost unrecognizable. 30-year-old Ariela and 31-year-old Biniyam met in Ethiopia before they got engaged in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. Biniyam’s arrival in the U.S. was inevitable, but for that to happen, Ariela had to deal with a lot of ups and downs in the relationship. This included Ariela going back to the U.S. from Addis Ababa for their baby Aviel’s surgery and Biniyam ghosting her by partying with his friends back home. But while Ariela was in America witnessing her relationship with Biniyam change, fans saw how much Ariela herself had changed as well.
The previews for 90 Day Fiancé season 9 showed Biniyam’s arrival in America and how his relationship with Ariela will get affected by it. The scene with Biniyam’s sisters Wish and Mimi throwing wine on Ariela’s face caught a lot of attention. But so did Ariela’s altered appearance.

The discussions about Ariela’s plastic surgery gained weight after she and Biniyam finally showed up on 90 Day Fiancé episode 3.
