The 44-year-old, whose nose caved in following years of drug abuse, insisted that her “crooked” face was not “all from drugs” and that she may suffer from facial dysmorphia.
She told Closer magazine: “I look this way - I'm not going to go out and have surgery.”
Tara finally conquered a £250-a-day, six-year cocaine habit in 1999 after several spells in rehabilitation clinics.
However, it left her nose on the brink of collapse, having destroyed her septum – the wall of cartilage between the nostrils.
It’s reported she initially tried Botox injections to repair the damage but after failing to see an improvement, resorted to surgery at a London clinic in 2006.
During the three-hour procedure, cartilage was taken from her right ear and inserted into the septum.
Talking about the devastating effects of her addiction, she once said: “My cartilage is gone. I just have fresh air.”
She also revealed how her habit almost brought her to the brink of death: “I was a dead woman walking. I needed help, or I knew I was going to die.”
