Former Bond girl Britt Ekland, 78, deeply regrets undergoing cosmetic surgery that left her with a botched job.
She spent years trying to correct the damage caused by multiple injections of Articol, a collagen filler that was once popular in the 1990s as a lip plumper.
However, Articol is now considered too risky and is rarely used in the UK, with no approval in the US.
Reflecting on the procedure, Britt expressed her dissatisfaction, stating that she felt like she had ruined her face.
In an interview with Platinum magazine, she emphasized that while everyone has the right to choose surgery, she would not consider it again.
She has no desire to alter her appearance any further and believes that getting older is a natural part of life that cannot be changed or complained about.
Despite the regrets, Britt now feels great and believes she looks better than she has in years.
She acknowledges that aging is inevitable for everyone and emphasizes the importance of self-care throughout the journey.
To correct the botched job caused by Articol, Britt endured 20 years of excruciatingly painful corticosteroid injections in an attempt to dissolve the filler.
In a previous interview with Loose Women, she described the cosmetic procedures as destructive to her looks and labeled them the biggest mistake of her life.
Looking back at photographs taken before the surgery, Britt admits that she looked very good but failed to see it at the time.
Britt Ekland, originally from Sweden, gained fame after marrying actor Peter Sellers.
However, she became a star in her own right when she appeared as a Bond girl alongside Sir Roger Moore in the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun.
She is also recognized for her roles in movies such as The Wicker Man, Get Carter, and Machine Gun McCain.
