"It's not going to give me more roles to make me look better. This is who I am and people have to accept it," the actress told host Piers Morgan, according to the DailyMail. "I've accepted it, you accept it!"
Ekland explained that her vow to ditch cosmetic surgeries comes years after she endured a terrifying lip pumping procedure, where a doctor injected her lips with Articol, describing it to her as a "new dental material," she explained on the UK show.
The lip treatment left the star horrified when she realized it was nearly irreversible, according to the outlet.
