Tulisa opens up about plastic surgery procedures: "I'm happy with it"

Tulisa Contostavlos has been talking about the plastic surgery she has had to alter her face.

The former X Factor judge spoke to The Guardian about her appearance following criticism when she looked puffy around her mouth and cheeks at a recent court appearance (see video below). 

26-year-old Tulisa confirmed: “I've had my lips done, and I'm happy with my lips. I also had a tiny bit of filler in my cheeks. It was a choice I made. I'd lost a load of weight and I was looking at my face.”

Speaking about images taken of her when appearing in court when she was charged with attacking a celebrity blogger, she said:

“Pictures of me where my face was swelling, I had water retention, where you have filler your face draws up a load of water. My face began to swell like a balloon. This is when people thought I'd had surgery and said, what's she done? She's ruined her face.”

Although she admitted to having filler added to her lips and cheeks, she denies having rhinoplasty surgery: “It really bugs me when people say I've had a nose job. That's just makeup.”

Following being found guilty of assault – a charge she plans to appeal against – and being cleared of separate drugs charges, Tulisa’s former X Factor employer Simon Cowell recently voiced his support for her saying he would be interested in working with her again.
