Lauren Goodger looking every inch the natural beauty
Lauren wrote in her column for new! magazine: "I was accused of having surgery on my face again after I was pictured looking puffier than usual at an event.

She also admitted the doctor was right about the puffiness, adding: "I looked like a chipmunk when I left the clinic, but it’s calmed down since."
Calmed down? If this is her face 'after' the puffiness, we can only imagine the 'Chip and Dale' chic she was serving up on her way out of the clinic.
