Has Megan had any surgery?
Megan looks very different since she came to prominence on Ex on the Beach in 2015.
She has previously spoken about vowing never to have extreme surgery.
She said: I’m not against it [plastic surgery]. Obviously I get my lips done. I’ve not had any other surgery.
I completely disagree with the bum thing, apparently the surgery is really dangerous.
And I just think you shouldn’t be doing things like that. That’s my opinion.
“I’m not against boob jobs but I haven’t got one and I’m not planning any time soon to have one.
In the past Megan has revealed that she gets her lips done at the Natasha Lucy Clinics, which offer lip augmentation from 350.
