Yes apparently at 24 I have had an eye lift. "At fashion week I tried new looks with my makeup & now according to them I have had a face lift. "It's hurtful & not true!"So we've decided to leave these photos here; on the left she was 19 and on the right she's 27...

Katie Price

He explained: "Kylie looks as though she's had too much filler in her cheeks, lips and above her eyebrows."As a result, her cheeks are now alarmingly wife and her eyes appear sunken.

"This fact is of no true import to anyone at all, but that the possibility alone was discussed among respected journalists and became a public conversation is a disconcerting illustration of news/entertainment confusion and society's fixation on physicality."
Amy Childs
TOWIE's Amy Childs had admitted to having a boob job, botox, lip fillers and veneers. However in an interview with Closer magazine she admitted: "I'm not planning on getting anything else done and don't think I ever will because surgery has left me with so many problems."My boobs have drooped so much now and they're so heavy.

After being bullied at school for her nose, former TOWIE star Ferne McCann got a nose job in 2016 and showed it off on TV.Despite fans thinking she had lip fillers while she was pregnant, Ferne's previously told Closer magazine she won't have Botox or face fillers."Everyone thinks surgery is a slippery slope and that you get addicted but, for me, my nose job was the only thing I wanted to get done."I don't know what else I would have done, even if I wanted it," she told the magazine.She added: "I'm 26 and I think Botox and fillers actually make you look older. I like expression on a face."
One alarmed follower pleaded with her, "You are becoming unrecognisable. Please stop the procedures and be you." Another said, "So sad. You were so beautiful."
Insiders reveal that the 32-year old – who’s admitted to having facial fillers and Botox, and has previously said she believes she has body dysmorphia, saying she often hates pictures of herself – has pals worried she’s gone too far.
A source says, "Lauren’s friends have been quite concerned about her lately. She’s been going through a bit of a tough patch and her confidence is really low.
"She’s been open about cosmetic surgery in the past, but friends think she might be taking things too far now in a bid to boost her self-esteem and impress a new man."
"Lauren’s had her heart broken in the past and it’s left its mark on her. She’s turned to surgery as she believes it’ll make her more attractive to potential boyfriends.
"It’s almost as if the more insecure she feels, the more cosmetic work she has done. She thinks that once she finds her perfect guy, everything will fall into place, but those close to her feel she needs to be happy in herself first."
